Why KABAM wants to make the gap between f2p and whales bigger ?

I am just wondering why would you screw up so many players?
With the introduction of the t6 items has been a while and some players have already more than 2 champs at r4, and f2p players have half of the resources needed for 1 champ, and with that tempo will get one when 7.2.4 is released in the best case scenario, by that time whales will have all of their top 5 prestige champs at r4 and we will get 1 and the prestige battle is impossible, alliances are falling a part anyway, now I see ppl getting kicked out because they are under 13k prestige, players like me that have the roaster and the skills to clear any new content in the first day or two. The only thing that is new is the EQ that takes like 7 days to be 100% because of the energy needed, I have stopped doing arena because it is insanely boring and 2nd I have 17 6*r3, and 61 6^r1or2, and when I grind vs 100 random whales that have decided they want that 6* champ aswell it is simply impossible to qualify. So basicly AQ, AW and arena top rewards are occupied with the same people. Don't say that f2p can do it too like that dude Brian G because he does that for living and spends like 6 hours a day on it and there are probably less than 10 like him in the entire community and even he is not close to take a champ to r4.
I love the game and everything but as endgame player now my only option is to compete in AQ or AW but they are pay to win, for Arena if I give 15 hours a day, set alarms to wake me up at 5 a.m to do new cycle of my champs maybe I have a shot to be in the top100 but if that sounds normal or doable to you ... go see a doctor

Idk why but feels you're feeling painful with changes in the game. If the game is starting to affect you to the point where it is dictating your mental state then I suggest you take some time off from the game. You'll feel much better.
Where will the game if all F2P players follow your advice ??
OP said some players have more than 2 r4s, implying that someone has 3 of them 🤔
Your trying to keep up with people that any deal resource wise they scoop right up. New highest prestige champ comes out they are will to spend thousands not just to get them but max sig them right out the gate.
All you can do is stop worrying about what they do and just do what you do.
Would I like the 2 to have even footing, you bet I would but I like being able to play with no stupid ads. Those guys make it happen.
Question is: do you prefer Kabam have numerous advertising within the game like what other game companies do or keep the current system where paying consumers get a bonus for keeping the game company afloat.. no Kabam no game.
Just play and hope rng gives you good champions.
I do agree with the reality that 99% of current alliances with a total of little to no r4 6*s have no way to get enough r4 resources from AQ, because they don't qualify for top 45. This does increase the gap between big spending alliances and nonspending alliances for now, but something that Kabam has been doing historically to mitigate this is by making resources more attainable overtime.
Prestige has been and still is a big difference maker in rewards, where low to middle level spenders cannot catch up to big spenders prestige-wise at this current stage (maybe the gap will get closer or get wider- up to Kabam).
This is the pay-to-win part of this mobile video game.
There are players who spent thousands who still don't have as good (depth, prestige, etc.) of an account as Brian, or players who have spent less cash. Time spent playing, resource management, and skill is still a huge factor in roster progression.
And inevitably, if whales can outspend everyone, and that's 100% fine with myself and the majority of the playerbase.
It ws challenging enough to not feel repetitive like Act 7, while also not being total BS like Act 6
Creative enough to feel like the good elements of Variant content & long enough to feel like it is the next milestone in the game
And it brought most people to the same level as noone could get a R5 champ no matter how much money they spent unless they explored Act 5
Second, so you are telling me that a for profit company that doesn't exist (nor does this game) unless people spend money has found ways to reward players for spendings, therefore encouraging spending to stay in business and make a profit?
Breaking news, most business rewards customers for spending these days, which is why reward cards are so common. Businesses do not exist without profits, so of course kabam will make players tempted to spend.
That's just how a business works.
Yes, a high number of players is very important, but F2P players don't help a business survive, and they can't really give you T6B fragments for free now, can they ?
Kabam has actually done an excellent job of balancing F2P vs P2P considering the age of the game. If they really wanted to cash out they could have made it possible to have 5/6 R4s by Christmas as long as you had deep enough pockets and there’s enough games out there that do the equivalent.
The real difference at the moment is prestige which gets you into a high AQ alliance, ultimately though, if you suck at the game you’ll get kicked no matter how good your roster because most of those alliances are also placing highly in AW which requires skill as well as a fat wallet.
No point trying to complete on the prestige front unless you got very lucky with your champions and are willing to put in a lot of hours to consistently get the top tier unit offers when they come around.
You should be chilling with 13k lmaooo
