Another Display of Kabam's Tone-Deafness

The topic of an over abundance of t2A and t5B catalysts, paired with not being able to use and/or sell them, is probably in the top three main topics amongst the community right now.

Now kabam puts out an offer for basic and alpha catalysts, and includes a large amount of the aforementioned cats. I would probably buy two or three of those offers if they didn't include a bunch of cats that I know will literally just be thrown in the trash.

I know I'm not the only one, so congrats kabam, you just cost yourself money again 👍 And all you have to do is let us sell them or raise the capacity limit. At the very least don't include them in an offer of mats that we actually need. Why would anybody pay for something they know will be unusable and unsellable?

But anyway, keep completely ignoring us and this issue.

not even on my radar tbh

Why would you buy them if you have an overabundance of them anyways?

Like I understand the argument that many people have expressed about increasing the cap - but if you, like some people, have SO MANY expiring then they're not being put to use and have no value to you already. More understandable is the argument that people have wishing they could sell these items, but that's not what you're discussing.

Kabam makes all different sorts of offers, this one is very clearly not aimed at you?

ReignkingTW

These offers are pre-programmed weeks ago.

Maybe it wasn't meant for you?

Managing resources has always been part of this game, and will continue to be. Anyway, Kabam makes offers that they believe will attract buyers (based on statistics, evidence), so most likely your experience is not what most people experience in terms of resource inventory. Otherwise they wouldn't be offering that stuff in the deal.

It serves Kabam no purpose to overload your inventory.

Having “high value items” expire with no recompense that you can’t sell does seem a little silly does it not?

The minority of us that have T2A and T5B in the overflow are way outnumbered by the majority that don't and are looking for those rank up mats. You obviously aren't the target for this offer.

There's no conspiracy, there's no slap in the face or anything like that. This is an offer for people that aren't you.

It's bold to assume nothing is in the works. Also I would ignore basically every offer this month anyways because they'll just drain your units before cyber weekend.

I don’t think the issue is who or who doesn’t have these resources expiring.

It’s more about not being able to sell them. These “high value” items just go into the ether while we can at least get a little gold or other things for “low value” items.

GroundedWisdom

The problem is, you're not just enabling people to sell them, you're bridging the gap to T3A and T6B for all Players. That devalues the higher Cats.

Not sure what you mean?
I’m not even in this boat and probably never will be.
Don’t have to give T3A or T6B for selling these items.

Just something in return for earning them all. Whether it be just gold or something else. Something at least.

AverageDesi

Did you get slapped in the face too?

That's exactly what I was discussing (briefly in this post, and more in depth in other posts). The main issue is the cap limit and inability to sell those specific items, which has been widely expressed both here on the forum, as well as on several of the top content creators videos.

But the main point of this post, is that if they would have separated the t6B/t3A from the t5B/t2A and made two separate offers, then they surely would have sold a ton more. Most people willing to spend money on the t6/t3 are the ones who have an abundance of the lower tiers going in the trash daily, so why would they buy more of them? And in addition to that, having them split into two, would still allow people to get both of them if they want, but I can guarantee a lot of people aren't buying it because they don't want more t5/t2 that they'll have to just watch go in the trash..

So yea, just a tone deaf offer that cost them money. Which actually bums me out, because I like to support kabam and this game, just wish they would listen to the community and be a bit more in touch.

Manage your resources better.

They’re not my resources. Just agreeing with the overwhelming majority of players with this problem.

You need to go back and look up what "overwhelming majority" means. The forums are a very, very, very small part of the overall community.

smdam38

Are they now? Seem to get things done.
Like when you said gold would never increase?

Should I quote your post on that? Stop trying to be smart and actually be smart because you actually are.

You know this is an issue so help fix it.

I never said gold shouldn't increase.

I've already said we need to be able to sell t2a. I don't think T5B needs to sold since we get way more t2a than T5B.

Gold, along with all rewards, have been adjusted upwards as the game economy adjusts periodically since the launch of the game. Predicting that gold won't increase ever is silly, but asking for it to increase then congratulating yourself when it does is taking credit for bring back the sun in the morning.

Traditionally, the offers leading up to cyber weekend have always been a bit lacklustre, if they don't suit your needs, then don't purchase them.

Seems like there is an implication that Kabam doesn't listen to their player base in this comment.

They listen. That doesn't mean they necessarily do what people tell them to, in the ways they are told to do it.

Many has been the time I have seen players on these forums ask for something, claim that Kabam doesn't listen to the players and suggest mass posting complaints to "force" Kabam to act, then celebrated when Kabam announces a change related to the complain, and all the while I knew they were working on it months before the complaint was posted but was unable to say anything about it.

You're presumably reading my posts before replying to them. How much power does that give me over your actions? If you don't do what I say, if you don't think what I say, does that mean you are not actually listening to me? Could I fairly claim you aren't listening, if you don't conform to what I say? Or do you have the right to read my posts, and think about them, and decide for yourself what actions you should take if any over their words?

I don't care about any of that because I don't waste my time with Battlegrounds.

But I am continuously annoyed that I can't even sell my perpetual overflow of dozens of T2As. I barely keep up with using them before they expire with each Level Up event with random 5* champs I don't use anymore and the occasional 6* I do want to rank up.

I don't even care if it's just 100 T3A or less. Or even just gold. Just give us the option to sell them.

phillgreen

I justify watching a dozen or more a month disappear by telling myself, If I have a bunch of junk champs I won't waste the cats on just to use them, the cats themselves are worth less than junk.

So it doesn't bother me if they expire for nothing because I wasn't going to use them anyway.

It used to annoy me in the beginning because they weren't easy to get, I figure I'm just past the point of worrying about where my next T2A is coming from, or going to.

More partial quoting me. I can literally quote a post from a few months ago where you said gold won’t increase.

You can post a diary all you want but you don’t know ****.

Go ahead then. We will wait for you to do it.

This is probably one of the most ignorant and incorrect statements I've read all day.
