Current State of the Game...

Around 7 months ago I tried to make awareness of the inevitable situation the playerbase would face in the future do to Kabam's merchandising strategy. Around that time, I had already started to feel the direction this game would take in the near future.

This is what I forsee happening with the game during the next few months (my guess):

1) The continue of last year's proven to generate income profit model.
2) Constant recycled end game content to "alleviate" playerbase from not falling too far behind.
3) A very slow timeline to update game mode rewards.
4) A steady devaluation of Units and an increase to the price of items in Sale Stores.
5) Same playable game modes with only a couple changes to nodes and map designs during updates.
6) Massive release champs for sale through web store.
7) No update on Arenas, Traders Outpost or SDE.
8) More Thronbreaker - Valiant brackets on sales.
9) An increase of irrelevant champs introduced to Titan pools.
10) Last but not least, more Bugs

I do see the return of realm events around August and next tier progression around November with long form content in-between Cyberweekend and Banquet though.

Anyways, 7 months later here I am sadly to say I was not wrong. I have decreased my playing time to the point of not caring anymore about content, game modes, champion releases and I definitely don't spend a dime anymore. I currently have no motivation to play the game at all. I will possibly quit this if I don't see a change asap, however, if you like the game the way it is, have fun. 👍🏻

I gotta say these sales every 2 months on the web store are getting more and more annoying and creating a bigger gap between free to play players than ever before. I get why they do them, but it's too much

Let everyone know the limit to which commenters who care about the game and are increasingly perplexed by the lack of desire of Kabam to do anything with monthly content, BGs, etc. are allowed to comment on it. Once a month? Once a quarter? Just quit the game?

Since you’re asking nicely can we do twice a year? And can we start now?

What kind of specific gap is it creating?
And how is this gap relevant? Are you talking about AW and BG?

Sounds good. Seems to be double the amount of time Kabam even considers it….

When someone talks about there being a gap it's most likely related to "competitive" game modes. And it's relevant because it creates an advantage for the opponent, they are by no means playing under same circumstances.

I for one welcome every single thread which criticizes Kebem during their perhaps biggest time period of ignorance towards rewards.

If Kebem can continue to ignore,
Players can continue to ask.

Very simple

You're kinda naive if you think the playerbase sentiment is only reward related. I at least listed 10 things...
We just got an update, I haven't checked the game but I've already seen a couple posts saying the game is bugged again.

My comment was not guided at you, I appreciate your points
But my comment is for those who whine when they see players complaining about rewards daily.

CesarSV7

If we talk about rewards, AW recently got a buff on rankings because the game mode at the top is more expensive and it's their way of encouraging spending, however rewards earned by winning or loosing a match have been outdated for years.

CesarSV7

Battlegrounds rewards have been stale in all areas of the game for a while now, however top ranked alliances keep pushing regardless. I wouldn't be surprised if they make a slight increase on solo ranked rewards soon since there's been so many content creators advocating for that and they leave all other rewards as they are for now.

I understand. Tbh I don't jump on forums often so I'm not aware if this is a daily thing but for the past week it's been a topic.

For me, it would be a way to feel rewarded by playing the game. I know many will think "there's end game content" well, that does not engage me and therefore not fun.

I swear this seems to be a topic every month.
When do we say enough is enough and quit?
I'm dang close.

I'm waiting till this BG season is over to see if any relevant changes are made otherwise I'm out. I've currently played 3 matches this season, that's it. Even if I had the will to play, I'm sitting at 130k trophy tokens and have nothing worth value to buy. If I win 2 more matches tokens reach the 150k limit and vanish. Have yet to claim all of this seasons milestones.
