**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event

**KNOWN ISSUE**
We have adjusted the node placement of the new AW maps to better allow path traversal. As a result, defender placements have been reset. Please, take a moment to re-place your defender setup. We will be pushing out a message in-game shortly.

Yep it is very sad to see people spending on that Korg bundle... I promised myself the day I started this game to never spend on it, and here I am today still at $0.00
I'm right with you! I will be ignoring this comprecciation also. Great post!

Right...like it actually sells your 5*’s or deletes your account or something?

Also, in the past "Summoner Appreciation" has been separate from any compensation offered. Regardless of my opinion on the quality of either of these, why bother lumping these two together? Especially considering the fact that iOS devices are still overheating?

It'll probably have a Thanos effect and just delete half your champions at random.

We just wanted to let you know that we appreciate all of the constructive feedback about the Summoner Appreciation event and that we have shared your thoughts with the rest of the team.
I truly hope that everything here is being shared with the team, as you indicate. I really hope it comes to a different solution and outcome, and that this time the people making the decisions really look at the discussion here and realize why it was received negatively. I will definitely say I am happy to see a moderator tell us this, but it's gonna need to be more than words and "we hear you" for all of it to have an impact on what the players are feeling right now.
LOL see you responding broke the game!!!!
Thank you for acknowledging our concerns. I hope that the team seriously considers some of the feedback that we have given and they don't just ignore it.
You did get one. It really never is any good no matter what you guys hear.
This thread has not gone unnoticed. Instead of ranting, be glad it is acknowledged and that it’s being looked at. If nothing else, this was common decency.
The game is still buggy, crashing, and experiencing emergency maintenance. Appreciation thanks users for using your service and being loyal. Compensation is a way of apologizing for your product not performing as expected and creating a poor user experience. You can't try to bundle compensation into appreciation events. You would still need more than a week for the sloppy experiences you have been creating. Yes, you have created some improved content but hitting 2/10 isn't something to be proud of. So I guess Kabam may well just start preparing real compensation packages for the next wave of poorly, tested, implemented, buggy content.
We have to remember that forum posters are only a very tiny percentage of the playerbase, and not a representative sample either. In many ways, we are self-selected rabble rousers: most players do not want to, and do not actively participate in public conversation about the game. At best, we might represent the vocal visible community, but we don't represent the playerbase itself. Most of the time, the playerbase as a whole doesn't share our feelings about things, particularly our frustrations about certain things. We have to accept the fact that their feelings, whatever they may be, are just as valid as ours are.
"We" is tenuous, consensus is rarely anything but an illusion. For example, I'm disappointed with the way they handled the compensation announcement, and I'm tentatively disappointed with the compensation itself but I have to reserve final judgment for when I actually know what's in it, which is part of my disappointment. But I'm not as upset as some others are about summoner appreciation week itself. Had SA not been connected to direct compensation at all, if it was just an SA week of stuff to show appreciation for experiencing the problems the game has been experiencing but not explicitly to directly compensate for any particular issue, I'd have been perfectly fine with it.
I'm perturbed that Kabam handled this so badly, but I'm not quite as angry or frustrated as many other players are. I suspect there's quite a range of feelings out there, as the discussion surrounding a recent podcast also demonstrates. If someone out there is fine with spending on the game, it really isn't our place to say that decision is wrong.
While I agree with your point about not shaming people who want to spend still, even if I think it's just enabling Kabam to continue to make bad decisions, what i can't get on board with on this comment is dismissing the power or sample size of the player base represented here. We don't have that much to go on scientifically, but history here itself. The only times that Kabam has relented on bad decisions and rolled back something was when they faced pressure and in each of those times the majority of it was coming from here. Not to dismiss or discount when the content creators/you tubers and leaders at the top get behind something like a boycott or the 12.0 fiasco, but even in that case, if there wasn't a huge uproar on the forum itself then there would be nothing for kabam to judge outrage or player contentment on. Hence this actually does work like a small sample of the larger player base. People only make tickets in game for issues and bugs, so all feedback positive or negative only come through here, Reddit, twitter/facebook comments, some other random platforms like discord/line and youtube. And in each of these cases, whether it was 12.0, or the sentinel/aq changes, you name it, when the player base as a majority represented on this forum and those other platforms cried out, Kabam relented and either changed their mind or compensated for the issue differently than planned. So being able to say confidently (like you did) that something here on the forums isn't representative of the community at large I think is as much of a reach as you're claiming on the other poster.
Not trying to be rude here, but logically we have confirmation of neither, no way to measure them, but you could argue just as logically for this being a good sample size of everyone who is upset about this from this thread alone. And I really have to disagree with you on being okay with the length of the summoner appreciation week (if it hadn't been rolled into the compensation). One week long, after having it for a month before this and in the totality of the issues leading up to it, while we're dealing with server crashes daily and bugs and people STILL have overheating issues on open report threads, that to me says that not only is a week too short for everyone to possibly get the full intent of rewards earned, but many didn't have the chance to plan or already HAD plans and it fell during this. If you hold it longer, it would not only give people more time to participate, but it would give Kabam some leeway if their game isn't a total dumpster fire next week like it's looking to be right now.
