You can’t really get much from grinding in arenas this days other than gold as the scores for decent rewards are so high so the gold event last year was a nice way to get some return for the time spent. Pity it wasn’t repeated.
We have a loyalty store, glory store, incursions and battlegrounds stores all areas where you can spend the resources you have farmed in game, why do we not have a permanent one for gold if you don’t want to put on one as an annual event for the players?
Why should we keep putting or time and effort into a game that doesn’t support the f2p player base. This really has made me lose all interest in this game. Great work Kabam way to shove a huge middle finger to your players.
I have played this game since April of 2015. I have spent more money on this game then I care to count. But I have to say that it is becoming completely evident that you all have made the decision to monetize this game to the point that you don’t give two *bleeps* about your player base. Battlegrounds came out and I was so excited. Then you monetized it to the point that I have no desire to play it, then you announce relics and ascension. Both of which I am not looking forward to because I have no doubt that they will be monetized to the point of nausea. And now you take the fun and unique aspect of this event, and monetize it to death. I don’t understand your end goal. Are you trying to kill the only game that you produce that makes money. Because that’s the road your on. As for me I have one foot out the door. That saddens me greatly because this is my favorite game of all time, and the one I have played the longest by far. But if this cash grabbing philosophy continues I will have both feet out the door, and I have no doubt that I won’t be alone.
Even in the situation where they just copy pasted last year's gold deals and put them out, there would be a few jokes and comments on "outdated" offers but overall most of us would be appreciative and just roll with it and put out a few nexus opening meme posts here and there.
The playerbase/ communtiy is watching Kabam, all these monetisation driven decisions do pile up and leave a sour taste in our mouths and eventually when the taste is too hard to bear, a lot of us will let go and never return....
I don't know why some people are expecting answers... U guys think this was a bug or an accident?.. Don't u guys think they already expected all this complaints while they were planning it?...This year they have monetized every possible aspect...matter of fact.. if the Cyber Monday Unit deals dissapeared it wouldn't be surprising at all...
Pasting this here since it got mothballed back to “Suggestions.” Any cuteness intended with the Kabam Thrillson comment seems much less humorous now.
Maybe something interesting pops up later today, but if this is it, then no.

Its like they thought that the cute warning wasnt going to blow up on them because they phrased it funny. Its a layup kind of event for universal praise and instead they just aggravated every single player. Even if you are willing to spend, its way better when you dont have to and can use gold instead.
One other observation: the solo event (which I would recommend grabbing exactly “1” point in for a million gold) relies on Duels, Arena and AQ with Pool champions.
Not normal questing, which could be a way to utilize extra energy and generate points for a shot at getting a little better rewards.
What I wonder is what kind of accounts will be at the top of the leaderboard for the solo event…
Dr. Zola
I didn't even realize that normal questing didn't count. I play AQ map 8. Not going to use any of my Pools there lol.
Yep, that’s baffling. I suppose using Masacre or Venompool in AQ *could* be plausible at some levels.
I have expiring refills and would be happy to burn them in something like RttL with the Pools I have. I will just sell them.
What I can’t understand is how this game has two full time community managers who I have no doubt regularly feedback player sentiment to their superiors and yet spending “events” like this are introduced. I feel sorry for Miike and Jax as they will be expected to come out and justify the unjustifiable and tell us that the feedback has been passed on as if it actually mattered.
Kabam I grinded for 2 months to get gold I played 7.1,7.2,7.3 variants and avoided rank ups for these times I also wasted time I could have spent anywhere else so that I get enough gold for this event and u say nothing about the event but come a day before and say no gold offers so all the time I put in the game is useless so I say put the offers or u will get alot of people angry cause the time they out is simply alot and u refused to tell us not to grind like this also I don't care about a damn Deadpool champ he is useless and terrible why would I grind for it but I need these offers so do alot of people
At this point it feels like they are taking everything they gave free before and try to sell it waaay overpriced. I really wanna contribute for game keep running but I don't wanna feel like I'm robbed. If you look for something to buy maybe 2-3 piggy banks and cav nexus deals can be considered but nothing else worth it. Is Deadpool capable of doing any end game content besides variant 8 or something that I don't know for almost 8 years ?
Again why are comments getting deleted, the thread has been on page 11 for like 3 hours now
Why isn't kabam talking to us if they're actively viewing and editing the thread?
All they would say is “We tried to tell you there wouldn’t be gold deals. Deals change all the time. We have let the team know your feelings and will take it into account the next time we do something similar.”
Everyone gets a million gold and some units for one fight, so it's not a complete waste, but it's a lost opportunity. You have a player base that has been pretty frustrated and was obviously looking forward to this event. Why not build some good will? They could have kept all the unit offers. I'd have probably bought one. I'm not mad and I think some of the reactions are over the top. But I can't help thinking that they'd have done much better on the cash deals if they also included the very popular gold offers.
I think a lot people are focused on FTP are getting hit by not having the offer. But as someone who does spend money on the game, I was looking forward to the gold offer. Its demoralizing not to have them and then a double smack in the face is the unit offers stink
Best thing to do is to keep this thread alive and get a response from them. They said they wanted to improve communication with the community, I don’t consider radio silence good communication.
Idk what you are expecting them to say. The event is what it is and it’s not going to change. Jax and Miike (the mods) know how the players feel but they also know that the people who makes the decisions at kabam don’t care how the players feel. Kabam actions speak for themselves at this point. The things you want you’re going to have to spend for them or spend ungodly amount of time grinding content for them. There will be no more freebies cuz it doesn’t make money for kabam.
I want to know what this “new thing” the Deadpool account on the forum was referring to. He said they weren’t going to have gold deals but they were going to try something new instead, however, there hasn’t been anything new.
I understand Mike and Jax can’t just come out and say “oops, we’re sorry, here are some gold offers”. But I don’t get the point of sending out a message telling us there will be new stuff for this event and then not actually improving upon the event.

Lost opportunity indeed but in all fairness it seems to be the “meta” in mobile gaming business wise these days.
I bought deals, I wanted DP but I still think there should've been gold deals for F2P players. The event last year was amazing. I don't mind adding the offers to buy but don't take away the gold deals on top of it.
So here's what will happen we will keep screaming at the wall for a couple of days, then kabam will respone "The feedback is taken into consideration for future endeavours" the thread is closed and within a week it will be forgotten and we'll be screaming for some other reason

Well it is new compared to the same event from last year
I have no idea why they keep shooting themselves in the foot with these terrible decisions. You are killing the game and you just don’t realise it.
These are one of the only events which players genuinely enjoy, it was one of the biggest pro player community moves Kabam has ever pulled off. I know you guys love money, but seriously now. Throw us a bone, you’ve monetized every aspect of this game till it’s full potential.
Why would you provoke the community after the disastrous feedback to relics and 7 stars in general? Make this right Kabam.You won’t break the game with these gold offers.
Then again, as someone who’s seeing the decisions this year? My hopes are at an all time low.
This isn’t news. The game is monetized. Always has been. OG DP has been a purchasable Champ all along, and the same arguments have been made in the past. The only difference is the lack of Gold Offers from last year, and to be honest, there was no guarantee they would be repeated. Yes, people loved them. The fact is, there was no indication they would. People assumed as much. I'm indifferent towards the Event. If you have him, you get a free Mil of Gold just for doing a Fight. I like the inclusion of the DP Crystal in the Offers. I'm not keen on the cost of the Unit Offers in the store, but I bought one. Certainly not enough to be irate over. Would I have liked to see the Gold Offers? Sure. I wouldn't say no. That still doesn't change the fact that there was no precedent.

Really frustrating
I was looking fwd to spend some gold.
I have expiring refills and would be happy to burn them in something like RttL with the Pools I have. I will just sell them.

I will pass on all the Deadpool offers. It is my protest.
Is Deadpool capable of doing any end game content besides variant 8 or something that I don't know for almost 8 years ?
