25% tc55 selector for top alliances...... really? It’s like Kabam pays no mind to how much the players spend to rank that high. Like hey spend over $2-3k per member for a total of $60k-90k per alliance and here’s a trash champ and only 25% of a t5cc that you want.... really Kabam?? Like 2020 wasn’t the worst year already smh. Cost you guys nothing to produce better rewards yet you make millions from the trash in game. Be nice! It’s been a horrible year more so for many of us.

This is pathetic. Simply put.
Also if you don’t like it, don’t participate.
If it is not worth it to you, don`t spend on it.
It’s a blind auction, plain and simple. Most of us can’t compete and to think otherwise could put you in potentially dangerous territory.
Can you be a bigger (bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep)
Than this guy
I ate it or didn’t eat dinner.
Saying "Kabam and every other digital platform uses surveillance capitalism" completely misunderstands what that even is. I'm guessing every single person that has posted something like this on the forums only knows "surveillance capitalism" to be "evil thing that big companies do that I don't understand." Kabam doesn't do anything you could describe as "surveillance capitalism" because a) they don't sell player behavior information (this is described in their terms of service, and doing so without informing the playerbase would be a violation of EU information protection laws) and b) when was the last time you saw an ad for something *outside* of MCOC within the game?
Neuroeconomics has nothing directly to do with any of this. Neuroeconomics is the study of replacing the rational actor models of economic theory with biological imperative models that attempt to predict economic choices by reducing them to questions of biologically based cognition. In other words, economies are run by people, and people are run by blobs of meat designed to hide in trees and hit things with sticks, and this sometimes causes them to act in a different way than you'd expect if they were logical robots.
FYI, "these companies prey on our base brain with incentive salience" is a gigantic tip off that you read this on wikipedia or some other summary article on Google. I've never heard anyone use the phrase "incentive salience" outside of an academic discussion, and in such a discussion no one would say that. They would say "these companies prey on our base brain by hijacking incentive salience association mechanisms." And only to sound smart at the bar.
