now we shifted to 6* and 5* are common like 4*, the crystal costs 300 units and people are still buying them....
That’s an economic term for this, “inflation”.
From what I can tell. If everything is relative the prices have doubled. $10 for a 3*
Those 150 unit crystals are still there.
Now keep discussing... XD
Exactly, the FGMC is a bargain compared to the regular GMC. It is the regular GMC everyone should be complaining about. Do not know how they decided those drop rates because they were supposed to replace PHCs for the uncollected players yet the drop rates do not match up.
technically as long as they sell units for currency they have a dollar value. Stop trolling every thread.
yes they are, but 1 year ago you got end game champs out of it. now you have to pay double the amount of units for less chances to pull the same champ as a 5*.
5* are the new 4*, but their crystals costs are doubled
Technically, you're correct, but when i go to a different country, i can't help but equate their currency to mine.
If the only way to acquire Units was to pay, I might see the conversion as valid. However, people automatically convert Units to monetary value, and that's not entirely accurate. You don't need to spend to acquire Units. You can earn them. It's not a requirement to spend money. A useful fact when discussing how the Cryatals cost money. That's optional.
Yes but earning them costs time which can be equated to a monetary value
Kabam doesn’t believe in inflation, get ready to see omega crystals for 500 units for a 1% chance to get a crappy 6*
Of course it's digital content. What were you expecting to take home? It's not shares in the company we're buying. All purchases are made clear in the TOS.
Also, it's not going anywhere anytime soon. The game will go on just fine.
It really doesn't matter what the drop rate is... because it is still very random. None of the crystals are "good".
People keep defending this type of activity like if it were ethical, but it isn't. It's not ethical to condition people (of all ages) to gambling with their favorite characters. Even if you don't spend a dime in this game, you are still gambling.
And it is the kind of gambling that it's addictive. You have people classifying champs as god or trash tier, making them more or less valuable, suggesting people to make poor decisions based on hype. This is going down at some point. These crystals are just wrong. I am not even sure how Disney is not shutting this game down after what happened with Star Wars Battlefront II.
I hope at some point, Kabam finds a better way of delivering champions and resources that do not involve gambling.
