So, about the July Solo Event....
Hello all, I'll try to make this as short as possible. As we've seen, the new rewards system in the game seems to have shifted from "Uncollected and above" to "Uncollected and below." As a result, Uncollected is set to receive absolutely terrible rewards, and let me quickly steer this away from a rant post to explain why it's objectively a bad move.
I'm a newer player, having become Uncollected only recently in November 2020, and what I've observed in the game and the Forums is that Uncollected seems to be a separate tier of its own, a "transition state" between beginner and top tier players. This is the time they require the resources to start pushing for higher content, but not so many goodies that staying at Uncollected means a free supply of valuables.
Kabam seems to have forgotten that, and the "rewards" they've assigned to UC are simply useless. There's no need to even participate in the Solo Event, as the milestone rewards make no difference to anyone trying to push through Act 5. I mean, what's someone stuck on the Ultron Boss going to do with a 4* Nexus?
Likewise, grouping UC with Cavalier is also unfair to Cavs, as they've made a huge leap to reach where they are. There are several solutions to this issue, but somehow the worst possible idea was accepted to remedy this. Instead of nerfing an entire tier, they simply could've let UC and Cav work for the same milestones, but placed the best rewards on the last few milestones and locked out UC from accessing them. Uncollected doesn't require 6*s to get through Act 5, but they sure need more than 4*s to do so.
I'm sure that no higher-up is going to even give this post a second look, let alone actually try to make a change, but I thought this was a fairly serious issue that needed attention. First the July 4th offers, and now this. I understand that the company's goal is to bridge the gap between UC and beginners, but bringing the higher tier down isn't how you do it; make it easier for lower tiers to access more 4* Shards and Rank Up resources instead.
Uncollected required effort too. A beginner at Level 5 can't do what a UC player did. Stop grouping them together and help the Level 5 guy rise faster instead.
