Brian Grant just insinuated he may quit the game over the gifting event.....

Too many people getting pressed over something that doesn't affect them.
This event makes it pretty clear that not even moderate spenders can be competitive, only massive whales, and that's pretty sad. Those players that spend, but don't have a bottomless wallet are getting massively screwed.
But when the top players are just getting things the rest of us can’t have because we don’t have the financial resources? You can’t aspire to be a whale? So, yeah, some of this is just perspective and having realistic goals. But some of this is also the game setting strange and unrealistic standards for success.
Most people are paying to be the first , but it all evens out eventually.
I find it kind of ironic he mentions the spenders are going to have an advantage as he has an advantage over the average f2p players because he does it for a living...most players don't have the same kind of time he is able to put into the game.
BG should not even be playing at the level he is playing at currently, he is able to because he is a 4loki OG.
This is his business and I doubt he would be able to transition into anything else because Kabam has tried to get us to switch to mroc and the newest revolution game and still no luck lol.
Your point is well taken though
My problem with Kabam is, they know how to milk cash from this game meanwhile this year the actual game that we play has been suffering from control issues for too long. Important adjustment or update like mastery setup that will make things better for summoners tremendously, even improve AQ and AW experiences is non-existent (how long since they said they're working on it?). Also, how long and often do we cry for communication. Did we even get any info ahead of time about the rewards/drop rates of this event. Don't we at least deserve that so we can plan especially cos there's money involved. And if not, how about communicate and tell us why. Hasn't it become normal now to see errors and bugs in new releases from drop rates in store to champion descriptions and contents? Didn't we even get an error in this event on the drop rates? Don't worry we'll soon hear from Kabam as usual (it's YTCC with a huge following), in summary they'll tell us they appreciate our feedback and keep it mind next time. The next thing next time, similar reaction by the majority.
My point is I just want them to use this brilliant idea of milking money to solving our game issues and treat summoners like the VIP we are starting with better communication
I'm sorry for the "competitive" players who feel shafted, but welcome to the club. Honestly, this game has never been competitive. It's never been a contest - how could it be when money is involved and provides an advantage for those that have an abundance of it? Money is king in business - thems the facts. Whether anyone wants to accept it, Kabam is here to make money, not provide a "contest" for the fun of it.
I get the entire argument, I really do - folks are upset because someone with little time or skill, can buy an R4 if they spend thousands of dollars.... tthousands of dollars - let that sink in - that is a lot of money and it's a pretty small subset of people willing or able to do it. Anyone allowed to spend that much and willing to spend that much money on a mobile game, so be it. The rest of us, let's be human, budget our money/time for real stuff, and be realistic about the power of money in mobile game that incentives spending.
Everyone with an R4 right now already spent money on this game at one time or another. They built their accounts faster by buying CAVs, buying items for AW/AQ to get the best rewards, buying the R4 deals little by little or buying units on the fly to knock out content. But everyone with an R4 right now (up until todays gifting event), absolutely also spent money on this game to be at the top.
Someone like CowWhale was spending thousands a month on CAV crystals, ensuring he always had the most current champs . Then, he also spent 10's-of-thousands on gifting, to ensure he had a never ending supply of the most coveted rank up resources of the time that he could dig into at the drop of the hat so he could dupe them, rank them and max sig them from day 1. How was that competitive? How was that different? It wasn't - it just didn't impact a certain subset of player, who now know what the rest of us have experienced for years. Welcome to the club.
There is no reason why you should be competing with anyone else.
The major problem is people only have to go off YouTubers, but it's a small portion of players that represent the community. You go through forums and you see people are happy about their first TB champion or even their first R5 champ.
