Well after reading that, i think kabam rocked this one. Ive been looking for a way to get unique 2* for a while now, just hope those crystals cost units, not money.
And regarding the 4*. I dont think 1 dollar should be a problem, in fact they are being very generous. Gotta give credit when it's due.
The poll is on the 20th this month correct?
I d go with the ones i dont have or have undupped
Iceman and Cable
Blade and Kingpin
Quake and Luke Cage
Mephisto and Hood
Medusa and Angela
Stark Spidey and Green Goblin
Even though I started this thread I’m probably buying. That wasn’t my point. If there was a player with the same account as me who was on principle f2p, it’s for them. I think it’s jive to encourage us to do something that benefits them and the reward is the opportunity to pay them.
I am also very, very nervous about having the community decide on the top champs from each class then having those champs used by more than just the already haves in order to walk through content that may have previously been unattainable to them.

Totally illogical, as there isn't a single champ in the game currently who isn't total trash compared to pre 12.0 switch or even widow

I would be more sympathetic to that pov if the special 4* crystal was the only reward for hitting the Facebook goal. However, F2P players can still grind out enough shards for a 5* hero crystal in the special 1-2* arena and since no price was announced, I'm assuming the Collector's Crystal will be available to purchase through Units. It's not like F2P'ers get nothing if Kabam hits their goal. It's not like they are being forced to participate in the Facebook drive, either, if the 4* crystal is the only reward that interests them.
F2P'ers make a conscious choice to enjoy the game for free, and they know ahead of time that there will be great offers they will miss out on by making that choice. That's the downside. The upside to that choice is they enjoy 100's and in some cases 1,000's of hours of entertainment for free.
I agree with Campo4 except on one point : 5* aren't the future but the present. Take a look at all the 5* in the basic shards crystal. 4* are the new 3*.
Is it a good prize ? Yes. Champions will be good. But with more than 70 4* in my roster I won't take it. My goal is 5*.
WOW people are complaining over a dollar. That's like 65 Indian rupees which isn't bad at all. Even I'm a f2p player and I can guarantee that many of my fellow indians will by this offer regardless if your a spender or a f2p player.
In the end of the day kabam is a business and their goal is to make money and this is a great way of making money.
It’s a dollar. People are actually complaining about that?
If you don’t want to spend that’s fine, but seriously no one cares you don’t want to. You want to turn down a most likely god tier 4* for a dollar that’s your own choice. F2P is your own choice . Just remember people who spend actually support this game so you can play for free. Your opinion means far less to Kabam.
Is not just a dollar. The concept they decided to use to introduce this offer at this price is stupid.
Get likes in the facebook page --> Unlock rewards. However you still need to pay to unlock the reward ... So the facebook thing is just to disguise the reason for the offer (which is not even an offer, is basically a gift that we need to pay for it)
I would buy the crystal for 10x times the amount of units that they are currently planning on selling it, but I can't buy it for a dollar.
I am not disagreeing with you but can your please clarify "can't" or "won't"?
Gifts cards can be used if it's a credit card thing. If it is just personal principle or gambling conviction or something else then occasionally you may have to resolve to not have access to all rewards and I commend you on your convictions.
As others said, maybe this is their way of rewarding paying players and making it available to those who don't pay too.
Kabam has not been known for good offers for awhile, so tactic or not, I say we encourage it. We still have a choice either way.
Again ... free2play players "can't" spend a dollar, even if they have it and want to do it. I would happily pay 10x times the amount of units they are planning on release it. Even if it was 1 cent, players wouldn't be able to buy it.
If this isn't happening at least increase the cost of it since this is a false gift.
I also think this is a ridiculous request. Nobody is forcing you to spend $1 for a 4* champ. If you don't want to spend, you really do not have to. There are plenty other ways to get a free 4*, such as quests and alliance wars via shards. Even though I have my gripes with Kabam, it is still a business with numerous employees and expenses. They cannot give away everything for free. I think that $1 is a very reasonable and generous offer.
I think Kabam has overpriced everything in this game but this is a time where $1 is a good deal. Don’t buy it if you can’t afford to give the game creators $1.
Exactly. Nobody is entitled to anything for free. Just be glad that this game is offered as a freemium with the option to play without having to spend a dime. Kabam could have chosen to make this game pay to download, but they didn't. Freemium or not, it takes time, knowledge, and money to even make a game like this. I think the company deserves something for their efforts. To sit here and expect everything to come to you for free is a bit entitled and selfish imo.
Why am I not surprised there are complaints about this. ¬_¬
I don’t really spend money on this game, its great as a free to play. If people what to spend money, that is fine. While I get that the deal could also go for units instead of money, there are plenty of ways to earn free money toward your Google Play/ITunes accounts (no CC needed). I have about $36 dollars just sitting in my Play Store account that I got for free and plan on using it when a good deal comes along.
The OP really hit home with the example of Free to play only players. An example is BrianGrant(check youtube) he is dedicated to never spending money on the game, and that is his choice, but now he(others) run the risk of missing out on key champions to complete content.
Now for me this is not an issue, but I do see how others feel this way, and it is a legitimate concern. This offer for 50 Units would be better for the F2P.
1. considering that brian grant has completed labyrinth 100%, i'm pretty sure he's not running any risk of missing out on "key" champions to complete content.
2. that's his choice and anybody else's choice to "miss out" on this if they don't want to spend $1.
Of course he does not spend money, he spend the money he is given on live streamming. Lets get real.
He will be doing all that he does just for love of the game. I do not believe for one second he does not spend money.
Again ... free2play players "can't" spend a dollar, even if they have it and want to do it. I would happily pay 10x times the amount of units they are planning on release it. Even if it was 1 cent, players wouldn't be able to buy it.

go to your local grocery store and buy a $5 google play card or itunes card with your preferred method of payment. problem solved.

Are my principles worth more than a buck? That is the million (or one it seems) dollar question.

It would still be f2p as you haven't spent from your wallet,right??

It's time to give (decent) 5* offers.
That's exactly what I'm doing lol
That's not even an option since that app isn't even compatible with some devices, including mine
I can't spend cause I don't have a credit card,Only a debit card.
Yep,I know,I'm living under an old rock.
