If you build the main prizes into the milestones, you spread the value around more evenly and you keep whales from getting a huge windfall.
If the crystals are absolutely lit, megawhales will get more separation from the population as a whole.
We deliberately include as much of the reward package as we can in the events themselves. This year, everything in the SBC can be used on 7-star champions, so there shouldn't be anything in there that is completely useless to players. But the crystals are never going to be the main focus of the rewards, because if they were as TyEdge correctly summarized, it would mean creating an enormous gap between the big spenders and everyone else.
I will pop back into this thread after the event is over to share more comprehensive thoughts like I did last year. But in the meantime, I encourage Summoners to take a breath and look at the total reward package that was available as part of this event. I personally think there is more here for ~15K Units than there was during Cyber Week, and I'm having a blast with my new 7-Star Medusa.
Enjoy the holiday break everyone.
Perfect!
People just dont understand the realm milestones haha.
And @Kabam_Crashed , @Kabam_Pinwheel ,some summoners here want to censor mine and other summoner words that are ok with Banquet and everything we got.
They even had a memory lapse forgetting the 10 amazing received champs
Everyone is entitled to express his/her oppinion.
Not a bunch of summoners crying over rng crystals will stop me/us

Being one of Royal Familly Mi 6 agents surprises me the way you answer with big Caps, not polite as your answer is seen as you're yellying, as we can read the same way.
10 champs are indeed part of the festivities.
Maybe if they put the champs on every day now, during banquet, nobody would be crying

It's clear that there's something going on behind the scenes, I don't remember Kabam being active on the forum on weekends, and it's almost Christmas too.
We haven't heard the last word on this, future Banquet events and millions of dollars are at stake, it helps to rattle the sabers a bit.
We may not be whales, but without us there's not much for the whales to do. No one is going to spend $250k on an event in the future, if you can be number 1 and spend $25k, or $2,500.
We are talking about the banquet here, and the 10 free champions we received isn't part of the banquet. They are part of the 10th year anniversary but not the banquet. As far as the banquet is concerned, it has been a total failure due to the drop rates from the SBC, over 30% in t6cc fragments?? in what year are they living ??? this isn't 2023
I’m grateful for the 10 free 7-star champions that were given by Kabam. It’s an incredibly generous gesture, and I appreciate the effort to give back to the community. However, I don’t feel that this can adequately compensate for the disappointment surrounding the Grand Banquet event.
While I now have 10 new 7-star champions, the reality is that most of them will likely never even be ranked up due to the extreme resource requirements for 7-stars. This leaves the value of these champions somewhat limited in the grand scheme of things.
Furthermore, I personally spent $200 and 6,000 units on getting 60 Superior Banquet Crystals, and the rewards I received left me feeling underwhelmed.
I ended up with mostly Tier 6 Class Catalyst fragments, a small amount of Tier 7 Basic Catalyst fragments, less than 5000 7-star shards, a Titan Crystal, and the 7-star Champion Trophy Selector. While these rewards might look good on paper, they fall far short of what I was expecting from an event marketed as a “Grand Banquet.” I thought my investment would yield more meaningful rewards, and it’s disheartening that it didn’t.
If I feel this let down after what I received, I can only imagine how others feel who spent less or pulled worse rewards. This doesn’t feel like a Grand Banquet—it feels like a Grand Letdown. I hope future events will provide better rewards and truly live up to the hype.

ok, we get you work at kabam…but is this your honest opinion ? From a real player pov ?
Just wanna say Crashed has been incredibly open and honest with the community, above and beyond what is required by his position. He's been very generous with his time especially here on the forums, lets please not impugn his character. You can disagree with his assessment if you do, but please trust that if hes saying it he means it.
This just sounds a bit condescending as if we should feel privileged about him posting here . He was one of those who hyped these rewards so he should also take responsibility to address players who feel scammed . Players spent time and money to get very underwhelming outcomes . Remember it’s the same money that the game runs on and pays the wages of kabam employees . Read the room before making this type of post .
It’s almost like pilot saying he is generous with his time if he trying to explain a delayed flight

So keep going, this is not the time to give in.
