Hello. There are players with hundreds of these and no 6-stars to awaken. I have around 50 I think and nothing to do with them. I will absolutely be trading them in.
I'm sure most of you want more, but nobody is forcing you to do this. If you value the 6-star gems more just keep them.
Sorry but here's no way someone has "hundreds" of AGs. Even the biggest whales wouldn't be accumulating that many from the limited sources that provide them. I understand your position, but exaggerating to try to make your point hurts your credibility. It also makes you appear out of touch; even if a small handful of players somehow accumulated a significant number of 6* AGs, the vast majority of players do not. Maybe they have 10-20, or even 30, but they still don't have enough to make this trade-in a good value.
All we want is for these rewards to mean something. The fact that they're valued so low just makes the events to which they're attached seem equally meaningless.
Time and again your AG economy has shown to be unbalanced. It's a tale of two undesirable extremes: either we can't get an AG of a specific rarity when we need one, or we have so many AGs by the time we don't need any. It happened with 5* before 6*, and now as 7* AGs become a thing, you're repeating the same mistake. Break the cycle and make 7* AGs available in time for us to actually use them.
I wasn't exaggerating, I looked at the data and there are players with hundreds of them... Sources aren't limited, they have been in the Banquet/gifting crystals for years.
Like I said, if you don't see value don't trade yours in. Personally having 50 7-star sig stones is much more valuable than something I literally have no use for, but to each their own.
Also, I think it's funny you think the solution to a surplus of awakening gems is to make awakening gems more available. That's not how this works.
This doesn’t make sense, i’m continously ranking top 100 in banquet, (top 20 this banquet) and been buying every package, yet I got close 30 awakening gems, no way close to what you’re stating. Please come to your senses. Thanks.
There is literally someone in this thread that has over 150 (I just looked, they weren't lying either).
I take I wasn’t paying much attention to AGs as some others are. Sorry if I was little too blatant. However most of mine are from monthy EQ.
U missed the monthly incursions give 1 every month
You are asking too much, he didn't know they don't expire...

How in the world do you have 50 Awakening Gems? I have a bigger roster than you (as a big spender) and haven’t awakened a 6-star in ages because I haven’t needed to, yet I only have eight generic Awakening Gems. The total number of awakening gems is 24. What you’re stating is more than I have and I find it hard to believe.
33 AGs, including 22 generics. And I’m not really a whale in terms of spending.

Why not give the possibility to exchange awakening gem for shards of superior tiers awakening gem ?
I would gladly trade my 6 stars awakening gem for shards of 7 stars awakening gem
I just now realized kabam has been so generous that they are giving us the equivalent of a six star awakening gem daily in the daily super event. Thank you kabam!!

I understand why isn’t more but can I ask why wasn’t it AG shard considered that’s is in game obviously not 1k for one my maybe 500 from them. Just a thought i would like to hear why it wasn’t considered. Since you might hav a lot to say one this
Probably because they don't want to flood in AGs.
Why i asked him i understand 500 is much but i couldn’t se why 100 would be bad it stil take 10k shard but At that point 1 sig probably better then 100 shard
I'm not saying 100 is bad. Only that they probably don't want to bring in that many 7*AGs so soon as they are still super rare. Plus the pro that this is meant for probably have most of their 7*'s duped and sigs are more important than AGs.
And yes, 100 is way more reasonable than the first suggested 500-1k.
So, Kabam is afraid that these people who have hundreds of unwanted awakening gems, are going to get tons of 7 star sig stones and brake the economy of the game by max sig all of their champions. (That most of these people already have, since these people with the hundreds of ags are the soon to be getting bastion titles. Sorry, not getting, buying.)

Yea after I sow there a few with over 50 I realized it but yeah 1 sig is definitely better then nothing at all so it a w either way even for me i barely use 6 star not even in bg anymore

This gave me flashbacks of a typical Kabam Miike response... and not in a good way either
So the second he says something that doesn't support your needs and wants, all the sudden he's a bad dude? Or was it because he didn't fluff it up for you and hold your hand while he gives you bad news?
I don’t understand why we as a playerbase are so ungrateful, this is nice of them to do and they aren’t obligated too.
You get what you get and you don’t get upset
the mouthbreathers in the community swore up and down in the banquet sucks thread that they're reasonable people.
another day, another complaint...same bozos. it never changes.
You really gotta learn to read. It is painful how poor your assumptions are. Apparently not all mouth breathers own a mirror…
Plenty of the people who disagreed with you then actually think this is a W. But based on how you kept drooling over Cyber then I’m not surprised your still hung up on the last time you suffered for us all 🙄

Then he isn't talking about you. There are players who have played since the start who've opened and duped every champion that comes out before AGs became common. They hoarded the gems waiting for the right champ and never used them. They have max signed everything and get AGs from there etc...

I would assume so they don't have to create a new item. This, is faster and easier to implement.

forum fatigue is real. the constant complaining over everything is getting to me and i'm slowly turning into a white knight. i'll try to not to let the pendulum swing too far and be objective when it matters (so far i think i have).
I don't know if you can answer this, but can you confirm that there are no immediate (or even better, far away) plans to create a trade-in event like we had years ago with awakening gems? If I can get a confirmation from Crashed, it would really help and then I could consider the trade in a win.
A 1 gem to 1 sig stone exchange is ABSURD, something both whales and f2p alike agree on. I'm also calling BS on the claim that some accounts have "hundreds" of 6 star awakening gems..... they expire at a faster rate than "hundreds" could be acquired, and you KNOW we know that.... What about the other awakening gems? 3,4,5 star.... at max limit on all of these as well. Learn to read the room guys; this right after the banquet.... bad form.

This is a tricky one as I see both sides here. Crashed has confirmed that there are many players with 100+ ags, (which btw it’s silly to debate crashed on whether or not this is true, he literally has the data lol.) and they would get an insane deal if the offer were any better. But for the average player this deal kinda sucks lol.
I guess the solution I would suggest would be to buff the rate to 2 sigs per ag but then set a weekly cap on how many can be sold, (saw someone else here suggest this) maybe 15-20.
I don’t see them giving away 7* ag shards for this, it’s too rare a resource still to be given out for no effort. Having to earn it would be a whole different conservation.

Awakening gems don't expire. What are you on about?

Ags don’t expire lol. They don’t have a cap on how many can be held at once.

If a player has hundreds of 6* AGs then they are a big enough whale that getting a 7* AG won't matter.
Even something as little as 100 shards for a generic and 50 for a class would be better than a single sig stone.
No it wouldn't. No reasonably intelligent player would make that trade in general, because there is no inventory cap for 6* AGs. So the only reason to trade them for 7* AG shards would be if you were going to actually form one. Otherwise, some tiny amount of shards would be meaningless, in the sense that the only players actually trading them in would be the ones with hundreds. The people with dozens would just do nothing. So such a trade would not benefit the vast majority of players who have a significant surplus of 6* AGs but not enough to form 7* AGs with such a trade.
Any exchange rate for 7* AG shards is either too small for most players, or so large that Kabam would have to cap the amount that the top whales have accumulated. And both options defeat the purpose of creating the trade in the first place, which is to give players with unusable 6* AGs a way to actually use them.
Most people have some 7* AG shards left over from the banquet. They're gonna be assigning them to more places in the game as well. being able to top up the shards makes much more sense than a single sig stone.
7* sig stones are way less valuable than AG shards.

Honestly, if that’s the case it’s worth taking a break.
Still I’m at a loss on this one. You’d think something being worth more than nothing would make most happy.

And well you work for kabam so I doubt you really pay for anything so the example of u have something in-game doesn't really carry much weight does it?
Oh if only this were true. Not only do I and every other Kabam employee pay cash if we want a cash offer, Kabam pays us in play money (CAD) so it's a lot more expensive for us than it is for you.

Would be good to know. Those trade in events were very well regarded events
Given that 6* awakening gems are pretty useless these days, can we stop seeing them at the top monthly prize in content and hate them to Thronebreaker / paragons level. Surely this shows that the top end economy really needs revisiting. Even the most recent buffed rewards feel out of date now.
The problem isn't the rewards, the problem is that we don't have monthly content for Valiant players. If we had a monthly Valiant EQ and/or a monthly Valiant MQ, they would have Valiant rewards, but those don't exist. I don't think giving Valiant rewards for TB content is the solution.
I agree this is a very big problem, it's very close to the top of my list of things we need to address this year.
On this topic, can you speak to whether or not the game team has any plans to add a higher difficulty of EQ? Especially if giving Valiant rewards for TB content isn't an ideal option, then maybe finally taking another step up is the right call? We've had TB for 3+ years now, and two progression levels have come out since it's inception (with possibly a third on the horizon, with 7R4s coming).

Um... The EQ Paragon Gauntlet seems like it's the higher difficulty that's already there. Complete the EQ TB level and unlock Paragon Gauntlet.

And sell the ones we can sell.
