Gwenpool monthly event frustration

Last time around, the extra currency you would get was SCRAPS used in rocket racoons shop. With alot of hope i purchased it. In the end i got extra cavs and USELESS scraps.
Now comes the gwenpool event with same design. Only instead of scraps its some bubble deadpool stuff. Ofcource i had 0 desire to buy it after the previous time when we would get extra scraps while we could get 100 times more SCRAPS from other sources like GGC and side event and even than, it was useless. Now its being confirmed its a currency for spring cleaning typish event and its a big chunk of free/cheap way of getting those 400 000 bubles or something.
Why do you add a calendar type event with WEIRD SECRET new currency in it and only when its too late, you reveal what it can buy you. You screwed us over (i would call it that) with SCRAP and now didnt say that THIS new currency would be much more important down the line.
I would have bought it. I really would. But you ,,left me with no choice". Hope you get enough money from panicing people during spring cleaning who will buy the gwenpool pass when its almost over and boost themselves for 30 days front...

What?

So before in the place of these new currency it was SCRAPS for rocket shop. We didnt know what it was for and many bought the pass for 9$ in hopes that the SCRAPS would be a premium currency wich was ABSOLUTELY not the case. Now same event style same price and currency (not confirmed 100% but like 90%) turns out to be 10 times more important than SCRAPS. If kabam even hinted it was a spring cleaning currency and not side event useless currency i would buy it in a heartbeat. Why didnt they announce/hint it? Would make more sales...

I think you are missing quite a bit here. The Rocket Scrap was known to be part of a side event store, primarily because it was a repeat of a previous side event. The Scrap was never a mystery. The Baubles however were a mystery because of the Scrap. Coming into the game in the same way as the Scrap did, but with no communication, made it easy to assume that it was another side event currency. Because the Scrap was bad (more because of implementation than content) it was fair to assume that this may not be that exciting and not worth purchasing like some did the Scrap.
It wasn’t until the livestream yesterday that they announced what this currency was for. But I think you’re insanely over the top in your reaction here for two reasons - they announced it the week before the event starts (next Friday) and players still have over 2 weeks to decide on whether or not they want to purchase the platinum track. It is far from too late.

Spring cleaning is a money maker for kabam, it was a pretty safe bet it would be returning. Gwenpool is a pool like deadpool and the baubles are similar icons to previous dobloons. But like the guy above me said, you’ve literally still got a couple weeks to decide if you want it or not. + most of the objectives will be already completed at this point so you won’t have to spend any/much on the boosters if that is something you normally do.

Yeah man fair points. I would type the post in your words exactly. I am just impulsive and cant articulate thoughts well.
So yeah. You have to buy 2 week boost now wich would probably give you less currency than just buying unit deals when they come.
I didnt have 9$ for it this month to begin with even if i knew. Just wanted to communicate that by not revealing the new currency purpose they (kabam) just damaged themselves. More people would buy the pass (win for kabam) and more people would be more happy on spring cleaning (another win)...

You don't have to buy the Track Event. Those are just extra currency. It was talked about in the Livestream from Friday. It's spring cleaning and starts next Friday.

Yeah it wasnt rocket science to FIGURE OUT its just a dangerous game with kabam. Last time i played that game i got left with scraps.
So if you buy the pass now you will not need many boosters? Cause thats the only differance. If it needs another COUPLE of $ its cool. If it needs like 10$+ its useless now.

Yeah fair points everyone making including this. The only issue i have is adding something for the money and talking about WHAT IT IS after couple of weeks. They could just say as it is the day they added the pass. Something like:

Heres a new pass. The new currency is for spring cleaning style event next month. Stay tuned and find out more.

Would change nothing in reality but would get much more sales.

I’m not so sure on the need to buy boosts. I may be wrong, but I don’t recall them saying how long the event is supposed to last. Given that the track goes until the last day of the current event, it may stretch that full 12 days. Nothing surprises me that they want an extra $10 from people to get some extra currency, but I do have a hard time arguing that they would force people to spend another $10 beyond that to get all of the currency from the source they already paid to access so that they have it in time to use it. I could be wrong, but that would be an incredibly poor business practice that I don’t think they’re capable of stooping to.

Just checked the durations and i think you can collect all without boosters if you buy today and couple of upcoming days. Fair play. I thought the pass was more strict in terms of timing. As long as it doesnt involve HAVING TO USE boosters its all good. Thanks for responces all.
