Greetings to kabam and everyone In the forums
Before BGs were a thing I couldn't care less about whales and spenders getting all the goodies cuz I didn't get in (real time face to face with them) and I actually loved the fact that they payed for the game we all love
I have a suggestion that I'm sure will satisfy both segments of mcoc because right now the gap is felt more than ever when the Battlegrounds became a thing and people buy everything just to bully everyone not spending and that's a fact !
My suggestion is to have two matchmaking systems for BGs
1 for spenders and whales and basically everyone that spent a dime on this game is to battle each other in their own separate matchmaking and of course have bigger rewards (but not that big in order to shorten the (FTPs and spenders gab) in due time
2 A second matchmaking system designed exclusively for FTPs where only FTPs face each other so that only (hard work) is the difference between and have a smaller rewards pool but not humongous difference just like the way kabam sees unjustly fair !!
Bottom line you need to do something to this fiasco cuz it's only gonna get worse if nothing is done
I wish to hear your take on this kabam cuz you never said anything regarding this topic despite the fact that games economy is the center of games as service and your silence is incredibly not appreciated
Before kabam lawyers and spenders jump this post I told you that I understand kabam needs money and have no dispute with you

Separating BG into spenders vs non would just mean non spender BG would get a fraction of the BG rewards that are currently seen. Spending is always going to provide certain advantages. There’s nothing saying a FTP can’t get close to the top, it just may take harder work and grinding in order to get there.
I have put in many hours on this season and I'm struggling to get out of arcane.
And I rather to have 70% of good rewards pool than to have 30% of great rewards pool
I was recently in an Alliance that had a 2.2m account and was Uncollected. Never started journey in act 6 to get to cavelier. I have a 3.7m Paragon and by no means a top level Paragon player, but I think my account was like 220k or lower when I achieved uncollected. I think a large part of the issue is a lack of patience to complete content, grind MEQ for months and months until you pull that one champion that’s an account changer let’s you clear a path and move forward in the game. Or grind for units so you can open up optimal masteries.
I was scrolling down the Uru 3 section of the Gladiators circuit leaderboard. I got bored after getting to 2,000th place having 134 points. So there are at least 10,500 in gladiators circuit but it’s probably closer to 15,000. Do you think all 15,000 are whales? Brian Grants in there, he’s not a whale, he’s never spent on his account. He’s dedicated and skilled, he chooses his rank ups wisely. If there’s a BG meta your deck isn’t suited to, maybe it’s not your season and focus on trying to expand your roster for the next one.
Any my argument is not the strength of FTPs which their limit won't cross 3 R5s and maybe 4 R5s at best case scenario
My argument is that there is a game mode (which has the juiciest rewards atm) where the FTPs are unfairly going against rosters twice as big
While in the FTPs pool I ensure you there will be no unjust and unfair competition, cuz the only thing that determines your ascending is your skill and hard work
Doing so will solve your dilemma and have a separate track for spenders to compete in. Now, you might be wondering what happens to the FTP players once they get through vibranium. The answer is simple, they get their rewards for getting Vibranium and enter the Lost Lands. In the Lost Lands summoners can compete with each other in friendly matches entirely for the sake of having fun. There is no roster matchmaking in the Lost lands and to make everything entirely fair, everyone's deck will consist of 30 7* r6 Groots. When you accumulate 100 victories in the Lost Lands, you will achieve the Legendary (but actually just a light blue) title called "Victor of the Lost Lands". You can then proudly parade this title around showing off to your friends just how much better you are than them at using groot.
Finally, the last prize you can get in the Lost Lands is the Legend title "Omega FTP". This title will be given to the summoner who has the longest win streak in the Lost Lands. You can then boast this piece of equipment to all your friends claiming that you are the best FTP around. Don't get too cocky though, this title will be removed from your account at the conclusion of the next season to ensure that there is only 1 Omega FTP.
After you separate FTP and Spenders, the FTP Cavelier and Thronebreaker accounts will want to separated from the FTP Paragon accounts because there rosters are twice as big and it’s unfair. Same will happen with those that have spent who’ll want to be separated from the super whale accounts. I honestly think you probably need to adjust your expectation of the game mode and what you believe is fair. It’s fair that the strongest accounts rise to the top. How people got their accounts so strong, as long as it’s within kabams TOS, doesn’t matter and we should all be part of the same competition.
My point is that kabam sees the player base as two segments, why not act on it and separate them instead of having whales bully the smaller fish in the ocean
Now they voice their concerns because they head on fight whales in real time and suffer greatly for it
That way the people who spent money don't have to have everything.
You get the privilege of playing the game for free off the backs of spenders. If you get Quantum 3 every season, you’re in the top 1,500 players in the world. I think you would be better served reframing your perspective to be “I’ve never spent a penny on the game and am in the top 1,500 in the world!” Rather than it’s not fair, everyone ahead of me bought there way ahead and I shouldn’t have to play them.
To OP, this isn't going to get anyone to support your argument especially when you move the goalposts like this. Take your L and move on.
And what's the matter the you guys just trying to find errors in comments to "checkmate" others ? And quantum most seasons ain't L my friend but the fact is that I need to work ×4 times the spenders is what gets me
