It does seem unfair that this account that is hardly used benefits from the changes this much but my main that explored years ago gets nothing.
Im genuinely considering a new alt to take advantage of this, that alone tells me there is something funny about the whole thing.
I think it was @DNA3000 that raised the idea of a completely new currency only for gifting, it seems to be the only genuine workaround that makes all accounts equal.
For others, there would be modders who are starting 100s of accounts and doing this then gifting their main accounts. BG said with multilple devices he could get 10k units a day. Let's say a modder can make 100k a day. 4.5 million units. 15 thousand GGCs. That guarantees you (statistically) the rarest drops. And if 9% of all your crystals are bunches of 5k six star shards you are looking at 675 six star crystals worth of shards. That's enough to pull every champion in the pool three times and then some. The chances of you not getting every champion would be low.
Last paragraph is a drastic over-excited example I know, but still. In this game? When people spend 100s of thousands of dollars? Drastic and over-excited is the high-tier cheaters' middle names'.
For the record I started a side account the other day with the goal of 3k units by gifting to send myself 10 extra ggcs. Far from game breaking or even noticeable for the most part. I'll be fine with needing to pay a bit of extra attention to complete act 4 or reach level 30 for example, both are entirely reasonable imo. If however they decide on a cutoff that excludes any account created since the early act changes were implemented I'll certainly skip any planned spending on my main account and just participate with whatever units I have on hand and leave it at that.
Hopefully Kabam can come up with a pro player solution.
You guys should be more concerned with hundreds if not thousands of arena bots that exist just waiting for this event so that they can either 1) give their main account thousands of GGCs or 2) sell GGCs at a highly discounted rate. These bots are sitting on millions of units that were earned illegitimately.
A simple look through the leader boards and you can spot some of the more blatant botters easily. Alliance less accounts all with similar names. Accounts that are mostly below level 40 and all have streaks greater than 1000. I even looked up one guys name and he has over 100 bot accounts.
I don't know why Kabam is so slow to responding to egregious breaches of ToS like this. It's not exactly hard to spot bot accounts.
1. Look for accounts that have spent 60+ hours in an arena each 3 day period.
2. Analyze accounts less than level 50 with streaks greater than 1000
3. Sort said accounts by name and look for patterns in account name
Seriously, you could hire an intern to sift through this data and it won't take much effort to eliminate 90% of the botters.
I just that Kabam rarely bans these accounts at a fast enough pace.
This doesn’t even affect gifting ranked rewards (this implies someone in the alliance would get kicked for the time being and lose other ranked rewards access including gifting which is not worth it at all)
Everyone can equally farm units in alt accounts so there’s no injustice
The only one’s it truly affects is kabam sales the end
Any other complaint about this being an issue is just nonsense to me
The way I see it it’s the least we deserve for putting up with the potential 6+ months of serious bugs and disproportionate or disappointing solo assistance packages.
Re the gifting alts, I started 2 last year, one was TB by the summer and the other is halfway through a6 now. Stopped playing my main so that didn’t really work out. 😂
