So if the max total earnable points is 300,000. I have two questions: 1) Why is the max rewards only achievable to players that can do valiant EQ and Nightmare Raids? I thought this was meant to be the annual summoner appreciation event but this seems pretty exclusive for the realm event rewards. 2) How are there rank rewards if you can’t earn more than 300,000 points? So all of the valiant players who do nightmare raids and the rest of the items will get the #1 rank rewards?

High rank rewards will require obtaining the bonus points that come with unit packs in the store.
Yes I have seen the unit packs with summoner fest points but I wanted actual confirmation from Kabam that money is the only other way to earn more points
Why the limited communication around this *Realm Fest* ?
Sure, there are more than a few bugs plaguing new content, but you’d think the team would expect that by now. It’s hard to understand why it seems there’s been so little interaction.
There’s this on the Main page:
But much of the info is about the November event in Vancouver.
There’s this recent post as well:
What’s up?
Dr. Zola
I'm fully expecting that Kabam will somehow make attending the Summoner's Fest (needing to pay for flight and lodging) as points that will contribute to some Ranked rewards.

The "Legends Event?"
It's not
Then I guess I don’t understand what summoner fest is supposed to be about. I guess I mistakenly assumed that an event called summoner fest was going to be about celebrating summoners and letting people earn points from just playing the game. Instead it seems pointless and just to remind everyone that if you aren’t valiant and doing nightmare raids, you don’t matter.

I believe it's just a precursor for the battlerealm brawl but they made a whole event out of it instead of just making it about bgs
I think what Mike might have intended to communicate is that Summoner Fest is not a replacement or iteration of the Legends event (the one with the dope crystals).
There are 300,000 total earnable points, so yes you can reach the top milestone, even if you miss a few.
Why do you make everything p2w?
I wouldn't call it pay to win. Sure, spending could be a tie breaker for points, but if you don't do everything, especially Raids, no amount of spending is going to catch you up.
Well, technically speaking $24,000 USD might catch you up. But even among the mega whales I suspect the number of people who will actually do that is very close to zero.
Since about a third of the realm points are in Raids, and my alliance doesn't do raids (much less Nightmare Raids which seems to be required to cap out the milestones) I'm basically out of it. But the event is still giving me a ton of rewards for basically just playing the game more or less as I normally do, so I can't be too upset. I find it ... odd that there's so much emphasis on Raids given their presumptive optional nature - and the fact they are tied to alliances, meaning individual players cannot simply choose to do them just for the event - but I suppose Kabam has its reasons there.

They are unobtainable even if you do pay, unless you also basically do everything. Normally the term pay to win refers to games where either whomever pays the most wins, or spending offers an overwhelming advantage compared to everything else. But that's not really true here, except in an essentially unrealistic extreme. Spending offers an advantage between two players who otherwise are tied in all other respects, but having an advantage between two competitors who otherwise do exactly the same things equally well is not pay to win, that is literally all competitions.
everyone wants the perks of being a whale without putting in the whale effort.
as someone who's not spending a single cent for any points, what's the big deal??
non-spenders get a bunch of free goodies for the cost of playing the game and whales need to do back-breaking low-return-on-investment whaley things for the highest prizes. that's literally how it's always been. enjoy your free stuff u dirty freeloaders!

Yeah, it is almost certain that a whale will rank first on that one too, however any f2p can try to compete for that spot (again, it is extremely unlikely that a f2p will get it, but the possibility is there) In this one you have a cap on points, meaning the only way to rank 1 is spending money

I don't think a f2p who has spent 8 hours a day grinding units in all forms since day 1 of the game, and hoarded all those units, would even be able to be close for first place. $140k USD is roughly 5 million units if you are buying namors in the webstore.
So while a f2p could technically compete, they never had a chance. I imagine some mega whales might use this event as a chance to stockpile units for Banquet so they can double dip the events with only paying money here.

Last year's Battlegrounds Realm Event was absolutely nothing like this Realm Event. I placed top 4 overall without spending a single penny.
Spenders had an advantage which was being able to purchase Units in order to buy elders BUT they still had to play the game AND win BG matches in order to rack up points.

What event are you talking about? I am talking about the new event where you have to form squads to get points Since it is somewhat luck based and requires energy to play, f2p has a chance to compete
i don't think i'm a kabam shill but the most valuable rewards have always gone to the biggest spenders. what we're seeing is literally their business model. if cutting edge rewards can be had by someone spending zero money, the devs are doing something wrong.

One thing is to have a business model that incentivizes spending every day and another is to have rank rewards STRICTLY tied towards spending on so called competitive events.
A good approach towards this event would have been rack up as many points as you can by playing incursions. Spenders would still have had ADVANTAGES like: 1) Bigger rosters 2) Purchasable Revives and Potions 3) Purchasable Hacks 4) Purchasable Boosts 5) Ability to refresh champs instantly
The game mode (like every other game mode) already favors Spending, I understand it's a business, they need to make profit... But locking rank rewards through CASH is... Well... Funny 🤣

Spenders had an advantage which was being able to purchase Units in order to buy elders BUT they still had to play the game AND win BG matches in order to rack up points.
This "Summoner Fest" is an absolute joke towards competition, it's a PAY to WIN event.
I am talking about the new event where you have to form squads to get points
Since it is somewhat luck based and requires energy to play, f2p has a chance to compete
A good approach towards this event would have been rack up as many points as you can by playing incursions. Spenders would still have had ADVANTAGES like:
1) Bigger rosters
2) Purchasable Revives and Potions
3) Purchasable Hacks
4) Purchasable Boosts
5) Ability to refresh champs instantly
The game mode (like every other game mode) already favors Spending, I understand it's a business, they need to make profit... But locking rank rewards through CASH is... Well... Funny 🤣
I dont understand
