Hello all,
I have been playing the game for almost a decade (!!!!) now, I have been and seen almost all in the game.. since scarlet wich 12.0 Blade dominance, Blade trio and more and more developments.
I understand the game is there the make a profit and this is how it is supposed to be.. The game developpers have added recently this new top content that I really enjoyed inspite of the community's opinion and there are some moves that the Kabam did that were just too much for me to continue playing.
This new pay to win sysyem where the newst and strongest character is locked behind payment method was the final straw for me.. I understand the idea and I support new charachters behind big and juicy challanges (Stark Spidey for examlpe where you really struggle before having him) but it feels to me that the gap that Kabam has created is just too much.. way too much, its not possible that after a sale a player that has been playing for a year or two has such an advantege over someone who playes for almost a decade.. its just not ok in my maybe unpopular opinion..
The offers in the past used to be 15000 units for the final millestone and now its not even a half !! I cant keep up with that!
Red Gaurdien, Dark Pheonix, Human Torch and more and more!! the frustration just keeps pilling up.

you could say that not everyone is supposed to compete at the highest level and that is correct, I think Kabam took it too far and its like I feel completely not fun and yes, Ill even use the word betrayal of the free to play that grind (oh how much i used to grind) but the offers become 39k where it used to be 15k and 15k is doable in two hard grinding months of the game. (that just indicates how much I tried keeping up and how much I used to play (used to as up until 3 days ago)
I hope you all do well but from a personal prespective, Kabam broke my will.
Good luck all.

    I think one thing that rubs me the wrong way, is the platinum passes. They are good don't get me wrong. But at the same time they are too good. In that the amount of free units they give away every 3 months. Paired with the units people grind from arenas and buying unit deals , its obviously too many units and then kabam says we'll because yall now have too many units, unit spending events will now cost double or almost triple what the used to. The problem is, kabam created that imbalance themselves and it somehow is the players problem.

    Yup, people don't seem to understand that 20 bucks a month between the new sigil, the double track, DSE and everything else also fuels this problem. They just see it as cheap or free units and don't measure the consequences of getting those many units easily.

    Cost of units went from 18k to 36k and now 39k for maxing out july4 deals is CRAZY !!

    funny part is there's no Arena units buff, crystals units buff, EQ units buff or anything.
    Kabam simply wants you to buy Odins after Odins after Odins to get units necessary for these sales/events.

    DSE is already a unit buff, that's over 10k within a year.

    This is the only game I play where your punished for having too much premium currency and said premium currency is scarce compared to other currencies.

    5 extra units per day is hardly a buff as we were getting 25 units already before that buff,
    So in reality it's only 1800 units extra per year instead of your 10,000 estimate.

    Eh you are right, I forgot there used to be that awful daily.
    I still stand to my comment on other threads about units having losts its value due real life economy though. They haven't change price since release.

    Yeah this game used to be quite different.
    It was never as near aggressive towards monetization as it is now.
    It always seems to be “in your face” and i can understand the moderate and low spenders animosity towards that.
    It really isn’t worth it imo, as those spenders will still be very far behind and nowhere near to closing the gap.
    Especially when it’s constant monetization,..we have the staple spending events,..the new ones added,..the constant platinum track events etc.
    It’s more and more and more,..24/7 it seems.
