**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.
There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.

Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

Greedy

I keep seeing posts with people throwing around the term "greedy" and "money grubbing" when it comes to the offers that Kabam puts out. People seem to think that everything should be for free because this is a "free to play" game.

How do you think Kabam makes money to develop/upkeep/ keep this game from dying off like so many others?
It baffles me that people think it's greedy.

While I agree that some things in game seem completely ridiculous in terms of the value that it offers to players, both paid and free-to-play, that deserve to be called out and given feedback on, I think we need to take a step back and realize that those "whales" that you seem to think are taking YOUR rewards away from YOU - are actually the ones that are allowing you to play for free.

I'm not saying all deals are amazing, and I'm DEFINITELY not saying that I agree with all decisions about offers and rewards in this game (I think a ton should be changed), but I can't believe all of the people that seem to truly believe that a "free to play" game should have all the benefits, with absolutely no cost.

    There are many games that use ads system. It’s pretty much simple as you think, just log in and the company plays a video game ads for 30 seconds once a day. That in combination with millions of players that log in regularly and that’s a lot of cash anyway. After 30 seconds video game ads or picture ads that show up once a day per log in then the players can then log in how many times they want for a day. Next day same thing. I don’t see anything bad or hateful against ads if it gives the game terms “free to play”

    Those who call out every offer as "greedy" could be:
    1. Someone who has no understanding of how a business works,
    2. Envious of those who can spend,
    3. Players who simply could not improve their skills no matter what they do AND have no money to spend to progress
    4. Those who believe Kabam is a charity organization responsible for handling out dole outs to players who don't want to put the time, effort and money to improve.

    It's not my fault I am poor now if only I actually could win some bets smh

    I don't think the disdain is against spending money but against some of Kabam's lolwut offers such as the $100 5* crystal.

    Jokes, facetious, satire, sarcasm, puns and sardonicism are usually lost on the incredibly apt and intelligent people on this forum albeit the core posters.

    It would seem that based upon the formal words you have structured together your intellect appears to transcend that of those around you.

    I think you are right in many respects. I also often hear arguments like it's not fair this and that. That's also something less naive people come to terms with. Thing are rarely fair, and that's ok.

    I sometimes think I fall into category 3 here, although I try not to complain to much about it. I can sometimes feel I have reached the level of skill I can muster, so ranking up champs is the only way for me to be able to progress further. Of course I can still learn a few more tricks, but there's always a margin of error in my skill, that means some unforgiving nodes will cause me to have to spend because I simply cannot manage to put up perfect fights without messing something up slightly.

    I'd rather have offers than ads

    I agree with you, some offers are stupid! Some offers are good. Not all offers tailor to everyone. Some offers tailor to a lot. Hard to please all. Somethings are straight pay to win, some are easy and just don’t need pay to win. In the end these games tailor to the payers because it’s a business and need to pay for salaries, development, rights, rent and utilities. Just like all other businesses. Disagree all you like it’s true. Disagreeing with the OPs post is Childish lol
