    If someone comes into the Thread making pointed comments about others which are baseless, ironic, and unproductive, then they're on their own.

    Oh, right, DLL is the one who makes game economy decisions. At least think a little before you respond.
    This is called moving the goalposts and making unnecessary assumptions. Many Devs have paragon accounts but don't let people know because they enjoy being treated like a fellow player in their alliances and not treated as a dev.
    Awww it’s cute you came to defend your friend. Look at the original post and read the comments. That might help you out. Hint: we aren’t talking about champs.
    There are people on the economy team who have paragon accounts.
    The SSX defenders are sure out in force today. Well my apologies. Since you guys happen to have all the access in the world, can you let your buddies know that many of us non-masters alliance plebs have no gold or r3 rank up materials?

    Thanks.
    I am sharing the knowledge to correct your incorrect statement. No need to be angry.

    But yeah, if that’s serious feedback and not sarcastic like the rest of your message I can share the feedback. Let me know :)
    Angry and sarcastic eh? I’m rather stunned that you don’t know how short people are on ISO, gold, etc or that these game economy devs can’t tell from their analytics (clearly debunked by @pseudosane). When even whales like MAEX are out of gold, something is clearly wrong.

    If I’m angry, it’s because there isn’t a useful or serious response to the OP and as usual threads get derailed before they can get of the ground.
    Being honest - you’re the one who derailed the thread in the first place. Take a chill pill
    No useful response again. Great.
    There's literally nothing useful that comes from jumping into a Thread, criticizing everyone who comments, and making personal jabs.
    If you have something to add then add it. You don't need to be rude about it. You're making claims that people are derailing, but your comments are derailing the Thread in and of themselves.

    As for the subject of Gold, it's the most ready Resource in the game. If people "whaled" out for the Offers recently and ran out, that's not a game balance issue. That's the result of Ranking a bunch of Champs.
    LMAO. The responses to the OP making fun of a typo are clearly on topic. The matter is simple; either Kabam have no idea how to balance the economy or they know they can get the whales to buy crystals and sell iso.

    Yes, gold is a massive problem and Kabam knows it. If people whaled out and don’t have enough gold, that IS an economy problem. How isn’t that obvious? They spent enough money to not use what they bought? LOL.

    @FiiNCH Yes, I’m always in arena/never miss milestones and buying gold crystals with glory. I’ve done all story content/special challenges, special quests, routinely do Incursions for all the milestones. Same goes for all the r3 mats in the game. Got anything else snarky to say?

    Yeah but. Damn its an interesting coincidence that only certain part of community takes it so serious and tries their best to counter argument it. Idk maybe i dont know anything

    It's called humor. It's a wonderful thing.
    You keep mentioning whales like that has anything to do with the internal game economy. If something is an issue, it's an issue. It would seem that this issue is a personal one, since people are able to manage their Gold quite nicely. Otherwise we'd see pages and pages of complaints.
    Better still, the data would show it. They've made strides with Gold recently. There's lots of it to be had. It also requires Players to manage it properly. Which means if we spend massive amounts of it Ranking after a major sale, it's going to take some time to replenish.
    Whether the "whales" are out or not....which I highly doubt applies to all, since I've seen people post pictures over 100M recently....the system will either show a deficiency or it won't. That's not dependent on "The whales say so, so it must be true.".

    You’re not tripping.

    I said I don’t believe any of the economy devs are paragon level players and it’s like an alarm went off lol.

    No one has any gold in my alliance. But what do I know, I’m just some idiot with his name on the front page of the Hall of Legends. It’s not like I’ve played this game a while…

    @GroundedWisdom because the OP posted their issue looking for humor. Right…

    I’m in a Silver alliance and have a solid amount of gold and rank up materials…I suppose I could have more, but I could also have less 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Because it’s just false, so some are trying to correct you.

    As for the gold issue, it’s noticed and it’s being discussed. I can assure you the more feedback the better. But it’s just incredibly unhelpful to complain that Kabam don’t play their game, or no paragon players are in the team that matters. Because it’s not true lol, and just paints you as a complainer rather than someone who is giving meaningful feedback.

    How dare you not let me no-life the game and r3 a 6* once a day instead of once a week Kabam, I should be allowed to go from TB to Paragon in less than a month 🤬

    You’re being rather defensive here. It was an offhand comment about the topic. I don’t get why it’s such a sore spot for you. Or only certain users are allowed to deflect their off hand comments with “it’s just humor?”

    I am obviously not a CCP member (some ex members have made it clear how much that’s worth) so I wouldn’t know but I would not give the same ISO and gold for a 4* as a 5 and 6* if I was managing this game as a Paragon player. Why would you scale gold with everything else but not champ rarity?

    Seems like you don’t know how to manage your resources. Gold is not an issue. Do you rank up champs that you don’t use? Asking because I know many people still rank up 4* and below wasting their resources then complain.
  • GroundedWisdomGroundedWisdom Member Posts: 36,567 ★★★★★
    Game balance for one thing. You're always going to have at least one bottleneck Resource. One thing that requires time and effort to build and maintain. A system that gives one demographic everything they need unchecked is not one that allows anyone else to progress in any reasonable way. Let's say the Top has all they need. Champs, Cats, Gold, all of it. This is true to some extent, but there are still limiting Resources, and I've seen them shift over the years from one thing to another.
    In any event, what you would have is a broken system. The Top would continue to progress faster and faster, and no matter how much anyone underneath progresses, they'd never catch up.
    What we have right now is a system that provides all the Champs and Cats people need at that level. If they continue Ranking the highest at a speedy rate, they're going to deplete the more common Resources.
    This is by design. We're not meant to Rank higher Champs and higher Ranks that fast without serious dents into our stockpiles. The higher the Rarity, the higher the Rank, the more it will take and the longer it will take to make back. That's by design.

    No, but I'm ranking up champs to r3 and r4 to try and get competitive in BGs and try to make it above Arcane 1 (where I finished last season). That was the first time I tried to play past Uru and and 6r2 and 6r3 in my deck was a bit of a problem vs the decks I saw (espeically when I dipped into M3).

    If I'm playing the game (not whaling out) and have r4 catalysts in overflow, why do I have no gold? Why is that such an imbalance? We don't use gold for anything else...

    I don't rank 4 or 5 stars and haven't for ages for the record.

    Of the two of us, which of us has been consistently sarcastic, unhelpful, and rude? And of the two of us, which do you think seems to be more personally attached to this? I’m gonna go ahead and guess the person resorting to insults and general rudeness.

    If you meant it as a joke or an off hand comment, then I find it odd that you doubled and tripled down to defend your “joke” when called out on it. Seems awfully close to being proven wrong and then falling back on “I was joking”.

    But assuming it was, then fair, but I saw something that wasn’t true and I think all too often people fall back on “kabam don’t play their game” as an easy attempt at an agree farm. And others who may not know that you were joking, and don’t know if kabam do or don’t play their game could be persuaded that they don’t, and then we have a circle of people believing false things - which leads to bad conversation and unhelpful posts.

    Kabam do make mistakes, and it’s worth calling out things that are wrong with the game. I do it myself. But it’s an unhelpful comment to say they don’t play their own game to X level, because 1) it’s not true, and 2) surely you can think of better ways to give feedback
    1) Why is it your obligation to defend them?
    2) Please ask Kabam how it’s logical to have 4, 5, and 6* give the same materials for a dupe. There have been numerous threads on this subject on this forum.

    You’re not tripping.

    I said I don’t believe any of the economy devs are paragon level players and it’s like an alarm went off lol.
    Because it’s just false, so some are trying to correct you.

    As for the gold issue, it’s noticed and it’s being discussed. I can assure you the more feedback the better. But it’s just incredibly unhelpful to complain that Kabam don’t play their game, or no paragon players are in the team that matters. Because it’s not true lol, and just paints you as a complainer rather than someone who is giving meaningful feedback.

    No obligation, not defending. If you say something untrue is it defending to correct you? If I hated Kabam with my every thought, but corrected you where you were wrong that makes me some sort of Kabam stooge? That sounds like a terrible way to try and have any sort of discussion.

    Seems more like to me, you can’t think of a different way to refute the points I made, and instead are trying to deflect with a poor attempt at an attack on why I’m saying what I’m saying. Instead of the truth, I’m now “defending Kabam”.

    As for your second point, ISO and Gold economy is a big talking point at the moment. And trust me, I’m on your side on that one, those points have been made but it’s good to hear more weight for them.

    You know what, you don’t deserve the snark that the others do. Fair enough my bad.

    MAEX is in the CCP too. Maybe it’s worth asking his opinion? His point about the gold crystals is also valid. 4000 units to get 2.5mil gold is quite rough. Especially with the costs (gold and ISO) that 7* demand.

    I’ll reserve my contempt for people who are quick to question people’s gold management when they can’t make it out of Uru with their monster accounts and not for someone who adds as much to the community as you do.

    I appreciate that, I know it’s easy to just throw insults at people on the forums because.. well it’s the forums. But I do think there’s good discussions to be had here

    I get the point, and maybe it’s more relevant for others but I’d prefer ways to earn gold over ways to buy it. I also think that’s healthier for the economy as well. Maybe it could be looked at, but to me that’s a bandaid for a larger update that’s needed

    I’d like to see incursions update to other rewards making it relevant (because there’s a TON of gold there) which would by extension get you more gold by doing incursions, I’d like to see a bump in arena (my maybe slightly unrealistic wish is to make 5*s useable in the basic 4* arena similar to how we can use 7*s in the basic 5*, at a reduced point rate). Because I’ve stopped ranking 4*s for years at this point. I also do think ISO could be looked at
