Angry about missing Mastery points? Here's why you should be

Hi summoners,
I've been pondering the missing mastery points situation for a while now, and many of us having been down 4 points for about 6 months, this has put our accounts at a disadvantage relative to our competitors when it comes to PvP game modes.
The difference this has made cannot be overstated and I believe compensation should be hefty, as every day where we are being denied the points we are due, we continue to operate at a disadvantage.
Kabam have proven that that don't really care about this issue and would rather cater for the big spending endgame players, in what I believe to be a last ditch effort to line their pockets before the game starts trending sharply downhill.
What do you think about it? Salty pessimism or a realistic outlook on the situation?

Yes, kabam should have and needs to put these back in the game. Also yes, it is causing a major disadvantage to players who don't have them.
No, compensation should not be hefty, what would you even want for it?
No, the game is not going to start trending downhill because of this.
And no, this has nothing to do with money, they aren't selling them for 1000 units in the store
I'll also add that while there are masteries that can make a difference in your game, 4 total extra (even to those who had all masteries unlocked) doesn't necessarily allow for as much of a change as you would think. It's not like those would allow you to unlock LC/DE if you couldn't already have points there, and then if you could, you would just simply forego points in your least vital other mastery because you are a rational being who should be able to decide what is least important and thus not value it.
Eg. it seems like a big deal if you think if it as "what if I were missing the 4 most important mastery points I could have?" But in reality, nobody would build a setup like that and you can always just invest less in the least important ones. Even if you want to unlock LC/DE and have a minimum input, you should be able to take those losses in another section.
If you don't have the maximum number of masteries (other than the apparently missing ones), then you should be more focused on completing the requisite content to receive those and not on the perceived slight that you have been shown in missing them. After Dex and Parry, none of the masteries are really game-changing, just kinda nice to have.
TLDR: Sure, it may be annoying, but should clearly not register on the emotional level of "anger".
There are enough points you can use in the trees to give you the masteries you want. If you're just beating act 4 or 5, you're not at a point in the game where masteries would impact you.
I would love to hear a more detailed explanation of how this has impacted your account so drastically.
Kabam historically waits until issues are resolved before handing out any sort of compensation as well.
I did not explicitly state that this is the reason why the game would trend downhill, thats more of a trickle down effect of MCU movies being less popular In recent years, and game modes such as Raids that have epically flopped.
My comment regarding catering to the big spending endgame gigalodons of the community was an allusion to Kabam's choice of creating game modes such as Necropolis and Raids, while big issues such as an incredibly inconsistent AI, and these missing mastery points go unfixed.
Not a fan of the straw man, I hope that this clears things up for you.
All those F2P profits gone.. what are they going to do!!!
Punchline: F2P wants to be compensated units for losing matches they played with free energy or free elder marks.
I'd like to run full suicides and max willpower and still have enough points to max out stupefy, pacify and petrify as well as recovery.
Right now I am short of that by no less than 4 mastery points, would you believe it?
But I want my mastery points all the same, the communication on the whole debacle has been lacking.
I can understand why players who explored act 4 years ago couldn't care less, and that's fair enough.
The game has been going for 9 years, if it goes down is not because of a prediction of someone who played for 6 months...
Either you started the game in the last 6 months, in that case you had no issue with the mastery point missing, or you felt it was unimportant until it was taken away .
If you wanted to be helpful, you could indicate the timelines for a fix if you know of one. Or ways to work around the issue by selecting the best masteries. I'm not sure what purpose is served by regularly dismissing any player concern just because you don't have to deal with it.
How can you expect me to explore ACT4 in just 7 years. You must be a bot or somthing 😡
