Relics a money grab?

Dixie_normas77

So, I'll be the first to say I'm a whale, I've been playing 6 months and I'm tb with an amazing roster, dropped thousands already trying to get SPECIFIC champions to progress through story so it doesn't take the YEARS it has others. To me it seems that relics, yes they add many changes and benefits, but it's going to add so many more challenges to the game. Unless you plan on spending money every day like I do to get the relics you need to bind to each specific champion to progress through story, bgs, war and AQ, then you will need to add another few years to your playing time. I don't understand why we can't fix the issues and bugs in the game before we throw in completely new content. And off course it all drops before cyber monday so we all spend our units on chances at decent relics so we have to buy more to get the deals for cyber monday for those of us who have been saving.

Can’t stop the game progress because of bugs. There will always be bugs

You can only bind one relic to one champ though. So I fail to see why you'll need tons of them.

I can't see any significant benefit to relics. Other players in competitive alliances unfortunately will be caught out as the pi "bonus" will force their wallets if they plan to stay competitive.
I won't be spending a penny or a unit for any relic based deal this weekend

I don't spend, so I'll be at a disadvantage very soon. I'm also bad at the game and my BG win ratio is almost non existent, I worry what it will be when I'm facing those mega whales with the best relics. My already terrible BG experiences make me not want to play the game but some of the best rewards are in BGs.

I really wish relics were strictly for SP content and not BG.

relics are currently irrelevant unless you actually care about AQ and prestige (which is still a joke).
Stop with the doomsday talk.

We all need to remember that if you aren't trying to be the best in the game, you don't need to spend. Relics seem complicated right now so I'm just going to wait and see. Doesn't appear they are necessary at the moment.

Rebark

do you have any doubt?

Everything about this game is a money grab. No compensation for all the bugs. Kabam said why compensate when we can just offer more offers and everyone will pay for them!

Bugs and issues are a very different department than marketing.

Sure it's all a bunch of people in a computer typing in ones and zeros but the work that they're doing is very different than the work than the other side is doing and unfortunately the harsh reality that no one ever wants to hear but it's the unfortunate truth:

They can't just stop and only focus on the bugs because they are beholden to higher powers, namely netmarble and especially Marvel Comics, who give the final say so of what Champs have to be released and at what time.

It feels like it cheapens the experience of the game. I may go back on these words someday, but it just feels like another cheap looking game was bolted onto this one. Not impressed in the least bit thus far.

Theres only 12 different relics atm. At 4 different rarities and I'm pretty sure no one except the top few alliances have the 6* variety. And I'm also certain you can't rank them past 2 yet. So again, where do you see them as money grabs?

Well you can buy them with units and some people do use actual money to get units. Not me I am way to attached to my money.

So clearly some people will spend on this stuff. But if people wanna spend a thousands on relics good for them. I applaud it.

You can only buy your way to a 5 star with just units. And really you can buy your way into anything in this game and that’s how it’s been for like 4 years now.

arent all new things a money grab? there are people who will pay for the advantage and people who wont. we all know how that part goes. nothing will change and they will get their money whether we care, complain, or buy them ourselves... someone else always will...
