So is it safe to assume that "Trade In " event is officially dead ?

I was hoping 1 % for that trade in event to happen but it's confirmed it won't come now. Loved that event . Kinda upset about it but it is what it is.

Jax said months ago they weren’t planning on bringing it back

@Kabam Jax no trade in store return this year?

That was one the best part of the game....

Do you need to experience the awesome thing at least 2 times to know it's awesome?

The issue isn't that, he is saying kabam did it 1 time, so it is the players fault for assuming they would make it a recurring event.

Usually a well-received promotion is repeated. It's the norm around the world, especially when your customers let you know constantly that they're fiending for you to bring it back. Knowing that, most businesses here on Earth would pump up the lead up events to fan the flames even higher, instead of dumping yellow snow on their blazing shutupandtakemymoney-ness.

Kinda expected this would happen considering the lack of goldpool deals, but who knows, maybe they’ll surprise us and bring back the store later on.

Sure it is a norm around the world, but you also gotta remember that this is kabam you're talking about. Their higher ups make many decisions that would make any sane person question their intent, such as focusing a lot of resources and senior devs into MROC because the CEO hoped that MROC would replace MCOC. You gotta take these things into consideration.

Back when Boo was around, she posted something about how it might return in the future. It would be great if we could do it at least once more with the understanding that it won't happen again after that.

I think it was safe to assume it wasn't coming back when Jax posted this in August:

Or when he confirmed it October 11

Or when he re-confirmed it October 25

The gold event disagrees
Also my comment was towards the "It was the best part of the game" part.. Its a game that has been running for almost 8 years and a 1 time thing was the best part? 🤣

People really got short term memory.....

The trade-in Store in December was not only trades of potions.....

Im pretty sure no one cares much about the potions.. they want to trade Awakening Gems, which happened 1 time in 8 years..

December should always be the best month for players . If the gold deals or trade in event was back , this month would have been much much better . I know it happened 1 time only but that 1 time was enough for players to love it .

Ofcourse criticism was there but majority was in favour. This was a slap to the face of players because Kabam knew what players wanted and didn't gave it at all.

The problem is if they keep dangling it out there that it MAY return sometime, people will continue to hoard items. This is especially true for those that didn't get a 6* gem because they *gasp* used items in the game instead of hoarding. It would be in everyone's interest to know it for sure is not coming back; not "I haven't heard, but it may someday".

Yes , it would be so bad if it returns and people haven't hoarded anything . Say it will never return and be done with it.

It would be great if the event came back, but in cyber weekend they gave out 3 awakeaning gems for units so I dont think I will miss it so badly.

Saying that 3 times isn't enough? Or do you want to hold kabam hostage? THIS is why we can't have nice things. They do something really good and then people wail when it doesn't return. And when things that do return everytime are there it's taken for granted and kabam is blamed anyways

TyEdge

There’s no reason to NOT bring it back. 6-stars are more prevalent than ever. Awakening gems have been offered in other content and effectively sold for money ($15 for a generic at spring cleaning, plus July 4 and cyber deals). You can buy them every 6 weeks with loyalty.

The gem is objectively less meaningful than it was a year ago. It would’ve been a nice bone to throw us with gifting nixed in late summer and gold-for-crystals offers not returning.

I mean that's usually the rule on Prom Night

Shadowstrike

I was hoping 1 % for that trade in event to happen but it's confirmed it won't come now. Loved that event . Kinda upset about it but it is what it is.

Jax went on record back in August that they were no discussions or Rumblings about bringing back the trade event and don't quote him if you heard otherwise because just as quickly as they could bring it back, they could cancel it and vice versa. So for now, do whatever you got to do and if they do end up bringing it back, you can be angry about whatever choices you decided to make in the interim.

Feuerschwer

Yeah Jax said “we have no plans to bring this back, but we haven’t made a set-in-stone ironclad ‘never do sig stone trade-ins ever’ rule” so while it isn’t impossible it could come back, you shouldn’t assume it will happen on any given schedule.

You have 4 Generics, and you want a trade-in?

The RNG of this game is making me say goodbye. Well that and the lack of inputs. I have profx 6* at sig 200 before the current featured. I’ve pulled him 7 times now. I have also pulled 7 consecutive 6* skill awakening gems. I’m done. I literally hate it. 50+ 6* features and iI can’t pull any features.
