Thanks for the "sage" advice. 2 months to r4 or R5 a single 5* is too long to wait when cats are expiring regularly and the overall roster has more than 25% of 5* champs sitting untouched at R1L1 because every piece of gold needs to be banked for a champ who will actually help clear new content.
And I grind my butt off, which shouldn't have to be the norm just to squeak by on gold.
If you don't get natural dupes very often (and I rarely due) all the grinding in the world can't fix a gold issue unless you put off worthy rankups for several months at a time. That is an option, but then why keep playing if the only option is to grind away and wait and wait and wait for a sliver of short lived joy?
It's no wonder people are burned out and asking for improvements that make sense... like realistically increasing gold for monthly EQ, adding more iso to 5* and 6* dupes or reducing 6* level costs if they wont since the game is progressing but the resources are not in many areas.
Chalk it up to bad dupe R&g for me I guess, but that seems to be the line between the haves and have nots if not buying Cavs on a regular basis for many of us. I've been playing since Rockets junkyard so it's not like I blew through content too fast for my own good and I certainly don't have a crazy roster.
Of course, I could drop $300 on Cavs and problem solved, but that's not happening because the prices in game are ridiculous. I'll stick around to see if Kabam actually cares in the slightest, but if not, I guess I'll just join the others leaving the game. It's a tough pill to swallow when you've put this time into a game that is fundamentally very cool and fun at it's core, but I guess we all have to decide how much to put up with, or not.
Then how is it you Grind and run out, and others Grind more moderately, and still have Gold? The system is only broken if little to no one has Gold, and that's not the case. You talk about natural Dups, what about 4*s? 3*s? Do you not get ISO from those? Resources don't expire if you pace them out. Will you have to wait from time to time? Probably. Everyone does. People expect to go from R1 to R4 or 5 as fast as they pull 5*s and wonder why they run out of Gold.

Because they get dupes on a regular basis or spin crystals. My entire point is it takes 1.2m to R4 to R5 someone. That is at least 30 days of grinding arena if not duping for one lousy champ while you ignore ALL the others. And duping is RnG or paying for crystals to get more dupes. So yeah, those of us with bad rng for dupes suffer. Iso from 3* dupes is nothing to R5 a 5*. Did you ever even get uncollected? When you get there or to cavalier someday waaaaaaay in the future, you'll find that 4* dupes come far less since the majority of your rewards will he 5* or 6* based and 3* dupes don't mean squat for iso.
What in the world do you mean resources don't expire if I pace myself? I have resources in overflow right now that wouldn't be if I had the gold to use them. If I pace myself anymore the resources will just keep adding up in overflow even more. Or should I just not okay other aspects of the game that give the resources needed to actually rank champ's up? Huh?! My head is spinning.
An R5 a month is a reasonable pace. In fact, it's more than reasonable. The simple fact also remains that Gold doesn't vanish, so if you're out of it, you're spending it faster than you can make it.

Wow, do you follow at all? Not if you have to grind 3 hours a day every day and not rank up a single other champ as a result. It is not fun and Kabam could improve the gold in many areas that they have not updated since Act 5 was introduced in what, 2016?
Direct questions back at you...
How many 5* R4 do you have
How many 5* R5 do you have
Are you uncollected yet?
Have you completed act 5 yet (not 100% just the entire act one time)
Asking because I don't think you realize the issue because you haven't experienced it because you're not qualified to be in this predicament because you're not at a point in the game where you can relate. And if you're not, please don't comment because you have nothing if value to add.
Nobody who grinds moderately AND DOESNT SPEND has an abundance of gold, if they haven’t stopped normal/reasonable ranking and is completing content, The photo is to show you I have over 70k arena fights, surely that’s quite moderate grinding, I play at a mid level but I complete content. I don’t rank outside rank events except the one time I pulled doom and had a mystic r4 and r5 rankup Gem, it took me weeks to rank him up, then I completed act6 and goqt the rankup materials to rankup multiple r2 6*s and 5/65s, it’s months later and I have been grinding to try and get gold, it’s just painful and really killing my enjoyment of the game. But here are the haters who probably have sigil or spend a lot of money or enjoy doing 2-3 hours in arena every day trying to say gold isn’t a problem, As always my point is that if you don’t want to spend of course you should have to grind to maintain rankups for the materials you are collecting, but if the numbers which look to be boiling down to 2-3 hours a day, every day, acmfter nearly 5 years in this game, then yeah there’s gonna be some unhappy customers and some burnouts
I'm not new to the game. I know exactly what I'm talking about. I have Gold. I Rank steadily. I've gone up about 100k Rating in the last month and a half or so. I never run out. I keep steady progress and don't Grind 8 hours a day. Many, many Players don't run out of Gold. They have lives and deal with Donations and still Rank, so clearly it's not a flawed system. The same issue is brought up over and over repeatedly, and it all boils down to the same thing. You're either good at managing Resources, or you're not. People can learn. Not if they're not willing and just want to blame the system.

Exactly this. If this doesn't show the problem, I don't know what does. Clearly not everyone has the issue, but clearly there are people who do. That is a painful amount of expiring T2A and cats.

speak for yourself sir, your words are 100% inaccurate if you gain 100k rating per month lol.
I just specified I gained 100k in the last 2 months. I thought it was a month and a half. The point is, I make steady progress. I don't just Rank 5*s and 6*s. I bounce between all the Champs I have. I also don't take a 5* from R1 to R4 or 5 in one sitting. When I do a higher Rank, I spend time building up more Gold and work on Ranking lower ones in the meantime. Tell me then, if I'm so inaccurate, how do we still have this conversation every month and there are those of us with Gold? How do some people manage Resources responsibly, while others expect the game to give more? The answer is how people are spending it.
Because @GroundedWisdom you aren’t ranking 5/65s, and 6*s you aren’t playing at our level, you haven’t got close to completing act 6 and suddenly having resources that require 10m gold to use
4/55s aren’t much use to me anymore so there isn’t much point in ranks that aren’t going to be 5/65 eventually and the amount of gold for them and 6* ranking is just ridiculous, the gold We earn in the game hasn’t matched the gold required for Meaningful rankups, I play mid level, 5x5 gold 3 wars but I have abundant materials for 5/65 rankups these days, because of glory store and act 6, gold has not changed much while other materials availability has greatly
Because it's the same people who always do. These same ones also think 5k units ($150 in Odins)for a 5* gamble and 50k gold is a good deal. I lack the self control to avoid responding to them even though every single post they've ever written has been utter nonsense. We should just ignore them, but sometimes it's fun to read the next level of insanity that comes next.

Its out of competitiveness and or a sense of fairness from what Ive noticed. They dont want to devalue what they've already bought or whatever advantage they have. BG explained it in one his videos that he doesn't like rankdown tickets because it doesnt hold players responsible for their decisions. One players disadvantage or mistake is another's win and advantage. Personally I dont take the game that seriously especially since the only real people at the top are whales and no ones breaking into that class of player without some serious spending. Its delusional to think otherwise without taking the whole pay to win element out the game.
Yeah but It does keep the convo going, same <10 people every time, same people who were doing this 2-3 years ago about the t1a shortage, nothing to see here, anybody who complains is just looking at it wrong or doing something Wrong, making a suggestion that the game has a Material imbalance which might actually be a design fault ..... Big time trigger
Oh and can we admit that these gold crystals are just a joke now, yes have gold in the glory store but I just pulled a warlock I would love to r5, I would literally Need almost a thousand of those crystals to do that one rankup, I can buy 5 a week. So 4 years of buying gold crystals From the glory store for one rankup

I'm aware of the cost. I'm just not doing one a month and wondering where all the Gold is going. It takes time.
Could have 3 more r5/r2 6*s.... if I had the gold
