I have a question for F2P players.

What makes you stick to the game for years ? Don't you get salty when you see a whale pulling champs you dream of ? Haven't you ever decided to quit as you can't pull whom you need ? Aren't you tempted to whale out even once ? How do you go with a positive approach of continuous bad luck or long progression time ?

I mean yeah, I’m a tad bit jealous, but it doesn’t bother me that much. And bad pulls are just... something that happens. I go into every opening expecting disappointment. I make do with the champs I have, and maybe find that some “bad pulls” are quite fun to just mess around with.

Never want to quit, kinda been tempted to spend.

I'm not f2p really but I was for first couple years and I'm still a lower spender. I play this game too much to deny that I really enjoy it and I don't think my account would really be that far behind without the spending I've done.

I don't mind what others pull. I mostly get salty when I can't pull the champs I need to progress. If players want to spend that's on them and if they enjoy it, more power to them.

... i play the game to pass the time... sure i will take part in AQ/AW and Event Quest. Everything else im not bothered or have little interest... Now if i can get my hands on G2099 would be awesome

If there're two things very wise is that (1) you don't want to care constantly about what others think about you, and (2) you can't be lucky all the time. That's simply how life goes. It is up to yourself to decide if you're having enough fun or motivation to play the game your way.

We all have our ups and downs right.

Edit- Turn it around, if people in your ally get very good pulls, you'll most likely benefit from it through AQ and or AW.

Just play game for fun not a competition
Clear content at your speed
I personally find fun when i one shot final boss in aw or something like that
Take brake in between if u feel exhausted
And always remember this is a game meant for fun

I’m a free to play player who has quit the game multiple times and am now back. I’m not sure if you would count this but I first started the game very soon after it came out in 2015 on an iPad and then started on my phone in 2016. I think I finished act 4 before quitting because I got bored. I don’t really remember much of playing back then but I still have a 4* r4 agent venom and ultron that were my main path clears. I then came back summer of 2019 and the game had completely changed. I remember staying through the end of a summoner appreciation calendar but then quitting because I was stuck at a wall and could do act 5. I recently came back in April because of Covid and have no plan of stopping any time soon. Sorry that was so long but in answer to your question about being tempted to buy stuff, the only thing I’ve been tempted to buy is units for mastery cores because my masteries are still not where I’d like them to be.

Just like I avoid standing outside a guys house with Ferraris and Aston Martins in his driveways, I don't really engage in looking at roster porn.

pfp change lookin slick

Well, I don't have the money to spend in the first place so I don't really have a choice. The exchange rate here is through the roof. Maybe I will start spending if Kabam introduces regional pricing.

Agree to lot of extent. I do a lil bit of spending , but buying Odin for e.g or any early access bundle is way expensive. 100$ Odin = 8k INR in my currency.

I think it’s because I am not really into the game as some people seem to be . To me it’s something to do for fun. Not even a little bit tempted to waste actual real life money in this. Maybe if the offers were actually reasonable like say 0.50 cents or at most a dollar or two but here are talking about tens of dollars here . Hell I have seen an offer that cost over 100$! For that much money I could fly to Italy for the weekend . Well at least before the pandemic

So nope not real temptation for me . And no jealousy towards people who whale out . Just bafflement that’s they would chose to spend their money like this but hey it’s their money it’s their right to whatever they want with and different things bring joy to different people

I just play at my own pace. There's nothing in the game that you can't do without paying. So why hate the payers? They are mostly getting on the wrong side of the deals.

Lots of questions, I’m not completely ftp, spent a bit over the 4-5 years but small whales will spend more this week than I have in total so I’d say I can still sort of answer them, I’ll go in order.

- I play mostly because I enjoy the game and got into the game from the films, if I get bored of the films I’ll possibly get bored of the game too.

- yes and no, I get more salty at the people that whine about bad luck then pop a single Cav crystal each week and get a 5* or 6* every time, bonus salt if it’s the new champ, but that’s purely because I’ve still never gotten the 5* or 6* version of a featured champ, heck I’ve only had a 4* version of the featured twice over the years, and that includes from premiums, uncollected and cav crystals.

- I’ve considered it a few times, especially Back in whichever year blade day was, when I went about 10-11 months with no helpful pulls.

- Yes, quite a lot, but then I remind myself what would be better long term.

- Well I try to find a use for champs regardless, For 6*s, if they’re at least fun to use, I’m fine with the pull. So I guess I just set my standards lower than the people that whine if it isn’t in ‘seatins super extra god tier’ tier. Those people will always be miserable.

I just enjoy the game, I like chatting with my alliance, and not paying makes god tier pulls feel more special. Though I'm not exactly completely F2P. I spend a bit on cyber weekend and July 4th

100$ here is N38k. The minimum wage is 30k and a lot of people earn way below that.

Yes,I agree it
Because I'm also INDIAN 🇮🇳

I’m not playing to compete with them, I’m playing to try and increase my own skills and reach personal goals 🤺 Also, sure they do get great pulls for their money but they also pay loads of money for pretty bad pulls.

To spend you gotta have money
I do have the money but it ain't on my iTunes acc and cbf adding my card as I don't buy much online
So whenever I get tempted I remember the promise I made to someone on how imma beat them by staying free 2 play and this is my accounts 9 months old
There is a different joy to it at times being f2p

The_Sentry06

I like the game too much to quit just cuz I am ftp

AzKicker316

Its all about playing at your own pace. I do get jealous when folks get great pulls, but that's the game. I don't need to be an end game player as quickly as possible. Finding the right alliance is also key. I'm comfortable being 100% F2P and enjoy the map 7, platinum 4 alliance I am in and able to compete without issues.

Since when is spending money a prerequisite to enjoying a game? Spending is nice to get ahead or to get a little boost every then and again, but the fun is the journey: collecting and leveling up characters to progress through tougher content, not reaching the end of all content with 6* r3 Doom Ægon and Ghost.

... rather spend my money on beer but hey...

Don't try and compare yourself to anyone else. Remember it is a game and games are meant to be fun. Play the way you have fun and don't subscribe to the idea you can only use certain champs.

F2P here with an occasional google play cards from friends and family. Will not purchase my own lol! Started playing in 2015. What keeps me playing is the game? Playing cool characters I grew up reading( I have over 1000 comics 96% marvel 3.8% Image .2% Dc) The key to keep playing!! Play at your level (don't think you can one shot the grand master with your 5* R1 KK) , do not compare yourself to the whales. I have two accounts oldest one has descent champs but the newer one. Kabam started handing out 5* like candy compared to when I first started took me almost 2yrs to get a 5*. The newer account has away better 5* roster. Playing at my own pace and take to good and bad mainly bad RGN. Whats the old saying "Expect nothing and you'll never be disappointed!" or is it "Life suck! To be a winner you have to suck harder!"

Grind On!
