This is a simple question and not directed at mcoc supporters, but why should I contribute money to something I have no say so over? Do you consider this game a smart investment of time and energy since we have no say so? The game is beautifully designed and fun, but I’m just scared to invest into champs anymore personally. I feel like I have no grounds and my question to you is, “Why would you invest into a champ financially that has no value promised to it”? Pokémon cards are collectibles just like these champs are in the game, but they hold value to this day. Go ahead state your opinion…..

    @gamer true but my question was give me a good reason to purchase bundles in mcoc or participate in the banquet event. Your personal reasoning for making in-game purchases. Share that with me.

    No strong champ will get nerfed to the ground, we've had a few nerfs this year and none of them made the champ in question terrible. Stop being a crybaby man, pay or don't, nobody's forcing you to and nobody cares either.

    Also he shouldn’t compare Pokémon cards to a game with virtual champions in mcoc ver bad comparison

    Personal I only buy one guaranteed. Thing and compared to you and me I’m not that’s scary if a champion get nerf it for the better of the game i much rather having them nerf them so we wouldn’t get a 12.0 again

    @gamer I agree with buying a guaranteed champ but let’s please keep it respectful with comments lol. Calling me scary in comparison to yourself is an insult. You do realize insulting people doesn’t get positive results right?

    In my opinion, thinking of every single purchase as an investment is a sad way to live. I spend my money (after necessities are taken care of) on things that bring me and others happiness. The movie ticket I bought has no resale value. The games I bought on black Friday can't bring me any more cash. The pizza I ordered a couple days ago certainly doesn't 'hold value'. I don't use my spending money as an investment, I have a separate budget for that. I don't care if I 'have no say' over those things I purchase, because that's not a realistic expectation to have. I know what I'm buying, and I don't expect anything more than that

    @Ackbar67 i appreciate your comment. Now my personal question is this to you and maybe everyone else as well. WhT do you consider the best thing to purchase in mcoc without a doubt? Like without question no regrets just great value?
  • startropicsstartropics Member Posts: 1,507 ★★★★★

    @startropics what are you talking about this has nothing to do with that at all lol….do you understand my question? Basically I’m asking what will make someone spend money on a mobile game champ they have no promise in keeping after they purchase it…

    Hey wait, everyone, correct me if I'm wrong. But wasn't this the guy that was crying he was being cyberbullied to Jax and saying he was leaving the game? It can't be right. I mean I see him saying he hopes someone meets a serial killer. That can't be the same guy.

    It is indeed the same guy honestly what I learned playing mcoc is one guy would always try to talk down to one because there don’t hav better things to do happy Christmas to you :-) if u holding those holiday :-)

    You're the one who is insulting people my guy. Gamer is Dutch and English is his second language. He never called you scary. He was saying it can be scary to buy a crystal at a chance that champion gets rebalanced.

    You need to step away from the forums. Seriously.
    Danish btw but yes that was what’s I meant

    At the end of the day you're paying for entertainment. You are not investing in property. If you think you're investing in property, this is the worst possible property to invest in.

    If you're looking for entertainment, I personally think the game is worth my time and money. But everyone else has to determine that for themselves.

    I have spent far more money on intangibles and impermanent things than MCOC. When I buy an expensive meal at a restaurant, I get "stuff" but in no real sense do I get to keep anything. I spend thousands of dollars on first class airlines seats. I get there the exact same time as everyone else, I just get to have a more comfy seat for a few hours. I've spent a lot of money on just experiences. I get to have the experience for a while, and then it is gone.

    There is absolutely no difference between spending money on any of those things and spending money on MCOC. Anyone who thinks there is is setting themselves up for disappointment. Furthermore, the game is pretty up front about this. The TOS specifies this, and this is also so common in the industry that it would be noteworthy if a game failed to follow the exact same principles. You know, or should know, what you're getting into, and if you didn't originally, you should now. If you want to spend on an experience, this game is a good one to spend on. If you are looking to invest in something, consider a low fee index mutual fund.

    @Demonzfyre so you speak for other grown man or do you have a personal problem with me? If so I say you address with me personally and if you still don’t feel like your issue has been handled. Then be a real man and settle it offline instead of bashing someone on comments cause you’re mad they disagree with your game. Thank you have a nice day I’m not replying to you bye

    @DNA3000 he’s a cool guy he may not agree with me and state his opinions but he is respectful unlike the rest of you
