I still have no clue how they are going to extrapolate out how many tickets I should get for the 20 million gold I donated a few weeks ago. 150 tickets costs like 1.3 million gold. Does the sliding scale keep sliding further or does it ever reach an end at some point....
@Kabam Miike any input? I have donated close to 100 million gold into my alliance as the leader from December until now.
So we're getting refunds in the form of tickets. I'd rather have those refunds in the form of resources. Then it's up to me to decide if I want to use those refunds for my tickets or get tickets using units and keep the refunds.
As I said in another post, even the regular people who asked for help from ally members are getting shafted. We have someone running 3 accounts in the alliance. Skilled member, so the rest 27 decided to split the donations for 2 of the accounts. Now, that's not possible. People will say that he can give up the accounts, but it's a way of helping the ally like how others do through donations.
What is KABAM thinking? Jeez
We've been kind of quiet regarding some of the concerns that have been brought up today, but that's because we've been discussing them. We will not be reaching a conclusion on anything today, but we want you all to know that we're not ignoring your feedback.
We will have more information for you all next week, but need time to regroup, and look at your feedback on pain points, and have some discussions.
Player A has 1,000,000 gold.
Player B has 2,000,000 gold. He donates 1,000,000 to his alliance. He no longer owns the 1,000,000 gold he donated.
Player A and Player B both rank up their champs using the gold they have.
Now, if Player B was compensated with his donations:
Player B would get 1,000,000 gold. Now I understand that he earned that gold. But by choosing to donate it to his alliance and therefore surrendering his rights to his gold, he gains an advantage because in the normal setting, that gold would not be used to rank up his champs. Since he made the decision to contribute his resources towards AQ, his resources should not be able to be refunded and used for something that is not AQ related.
Do you see why it's unfair to other players?
Also, another option would be to give us the gold but only allow us to spend it on tickets. Due to the increase in cost for each ticket increasing when you use the same resource, getting 150 tickets at once for 1.3 mill gold is a loss. You can get more than that if you're willing to stagger it out over 3 weeks.
Another flaw is the timing. This should have been announced in advance. Someone might have donated to help others in their gold donations. Getting the extra tickets refunded is pointless for him if he has other resources to use for his personal ticket purchase, and the gold could have been used for rankups.
Alliances that run different maps - Big Middle finger up to you guys from kabam basically
A lot of alliances had a healthy treasury which spanned years not 5 months. A rainy day fund so to speak that allowed flexibility with donations .
Current system
- If a player needed to use gold for a rank up and wanted to double down on his donations following week. This was possible as alliances would of had more funds to cover costs
New System
- No tickets, no entering means potentially leaving alliances short of people to complete if someone got carried away and don't have the resources to purchase tickets.
Basically Alliances are being robbed of years worth of donations with no adequate compensation for it.
Alliances running different maps
Current System
- Cost was split equally between all members which was fair as the rewards were shared between all players
New System
- The players doing the harder content basically paying upto tripple the amount they were before while the lower map players pay nothing and get equal rewards. A really unfair system
Why would anyone having to pay for map 7 be happy that others not paying for map 7 still get the crystal with zero effort and no contribution to it. Not only do i have to do harder content and potentially use resources like pots etc but the guy who's doing map 5 has to pay nothing towards it and still gets a crystal for it. not to mention the milestone rewards for doing harder content
Getting 5 months of donations back as Tickets
Whats the point for the players running map 5 or lower. Why not just refund the resources and let them do with it what they want. They may never get to map 6 or maybe it will be a year before they get there. That's valuable resources they could use in the mean time for rank ups and help in clearing other content rather then sitting idle in their account.
Why is it so hard for common sense on these things.
I understand being able to choose how you donate is a good change. This execution however is poor.
What should of been done is
- Convert the treasury into the new Ticket currency
- Change the map cost to the Ticket currency so (map 7 300 tickets, map 6 150 tickets)
- Donations to be made by selecting the amount of tickets you want to donate via the resource you want
e.g. 1 Ticket would cost you 7000 gold
This would keep things fair, allow alliances to continue running different maps and not shift the cost onto the few players running the more difficult content.
Better yet why not just scrap the cost side of things anyway. AQ is already a big commitment in itself without the resources involved.
Sure, I’d like the resources back myself; nevertheless, I realize they were donated for alliance quests etc, so, the sum total of all donations that were in the coffers when Kabam just took them, is the ethical thing to do.
Ban the cheaters and refund the alliance coffers with equivalent tickets for the entire sum.
@Kabam Mike
Because I don't need the 5 mill as refund in the form of tickets when I can use other resources or units to buy them. I would have signed it over to help the ALLIANCE. But where is the Alliance being helped now with the ticket refund?
It's all about communication.
