So

Dear Kabam Team .
I would like to express my concern and frustration regarding the recent changes to Energy Refills and other rewards.
To put it simply, the logic behind removing Energy Refills from the 4-hour crystals feels unreasonable. It is similar to saying: “Since you have money saved for emergencies and haven’t used it yet, we will take it away and put a time limit on it.” This kind of reasoning makes no sense. Energy Refills were already well-balanced supplies, and removing them only to bring them back later—after most players had already completed major content with fewer resources—feels unfair. Adding to that, they are now mainly useful only for Battlegrounds after the removal of Elder Marks.
These decisions make it seem as though the game is becoming increasingly hostile toward free-to-play players. If Kabam truly dislikes free-to-play progression, then why continue to call this a free-to-play game at all? You might as well put a price tag on the Google Play Store, and at least then players would know what to expect. Many would probably quit immediately, but at least it would be honest.
Furthermore, the rank rewards from the Realm event also feel like a joke for free-to-play players. I want to congratulate Kabam on succeeding in pushing away a large portion of the free-to-play community with these recent decisions.
Finally, I would like to point out that the official forums feel outdated and often go unanswered. The only reason many of us post there is to get official replies, so I humbly request that the team engage more with the community there.
To all readers: the main point of this post is the diabolical changes to Energy Refills.
Please stay focused on this issue instead of nitpicking other unrelated points.
My requests:
1. Bring back the old Alliance Quest rewards system.
2. Stop making decisions that punish free-to-play players.
3. Reconsider the removal and restriction of Energy Refills.
I sincerely hope Kabam will rethink these changes and listen to the player base that keeps this game alive.
