The people that pay and keep the game running and profitable will be fine.
I don’t get the crying. Maybe go back to playing for fun.
I'm fine in top30-45 and master/p1.
There's no piece of content now or in the near future that require r4s. You want the extra 15% in stats? Throw a boost on, they're easy to get.
I'm f2p, no r4 yet and I have no problem competing.
What does suck is that there's no t6b/t3a fragments in 1-5% bracket. Even a little bit, just something for the grinders. I can throw 30k units at this event and wont get closer to a r4, unless lucky from ggcs.
To isolate BG in this situation, he’s ridden his reputation as a YouTuber to keep in a top tier AQ alliance for years. If he was anybody else he’d have been kicked years ago because his prestige isn’t up to snuff, it’s as simple as that. 13k prestige which he’s just touching is miles off the pace so for him to claim this as a new level of excess is a bit misleading. A full team of sig200 R3 has been the minimum prestige bracket for the better part of a year and he’s still not close to that.
Ultimately, spenders and non spenders are operating in two very distinct in game economies, and outside of AW and AQ they don’t affect each other really. They get a 6 month advantage on the likes of me but they also make this game advert free, keep the lights on at Kabam Hq and my alliance still beats most of the whale allies in AW anyway which is where it counts for me.
I wouldn’t mind Kabam putting say 1% of the money they make from this in a charity pot to feed the poor at this time of year though, considering they must net upwards of a few million, 50K to a couple of soup kitchens across Canada would be a nice gesture.
For AQ its over for him. 100%. 4Loki was dropping out of top 20 alliance in AQ and may drop down even further and who want to stay at the top will leave. You cant keep up in AQ with someone who can buy his way to 4 rank 4 6*. This event is just the first. There will be more like this, maybe next year we will see first rank 5 6* after gifting event who knows?
Both BG & Kt1 have made some extremely valid points irrespective of whether they're going to quit making videos or not
And it's nt like it's only the F2P perspective
Kt1 is not from the big whale category but he frequently keeps spending on the game to stay competitive
This event is going to cost many alliances their top AQ spots due to no fault of their own so it makes sense fr them to feel strongly about it
And not just AQ but it offers lots of advantages in AW as well specially with the new tie breaker system, & probably in the upcoming PvP mode as well
It doesn't affect most players like us
But now many at the top have also started to feel like it's hard to keep up with the divide even after spending
Even Swedeah has expressed his disappointment in his own way
You say you have zero chance of being in a top alliance because you can't get an R4. OK, so what? You chose not to, or are unable to spend the same as those that are willing/able too. So many people want to be wined and dined, but you don't get to eat Salt Bae's gold-flaked tomahawk steak just because you visit the restaurant. You either pay the price, or eat somewhere else.
I've read the arguments that youtubers like BG And KT1 are in Kabam's interest because of the "free advertising" so this is a slap in the face to them. But but did they make a deal with Kabam as a mutual agreement? Or did they start their channels for money (or fun) that supports their game purchases and possibly even more of their income? Be honest, they're doing it because it benefits them, not because it benefits Kabam.
This is a Game... a digital video game. If someone is throwing thousands of dollars at it to be "the best", so be it. This game will come and go eventually and no one will have anything to show for it, other than whatever memories they hold onto. The fact that so many people are so obsessed with their position in this game, (or any game) instead of their health, knowledge, spirituality, faith, community, helping the less fortunate - anything that can have a profound impact in the real world really - is mind boggling.
I wanted to thank you for screwing the 95% of the players in MCOC due to the gifting event. The only thing you did right in this event, was have rank 4 materials in the Greater Gifting Crystals (GGCs), and other stuff in the GGCs that can help advance any account. Unfortunately, you made a massive mistake with the top 30 solo rank rewards. Putting in a 6 star Weapon X is a slap in the face to people that did act 6 & 7 legends runs for that champ and sig stones. Putting in a rank 3-4 gem and 2 6 star +100 sig stones and a 6 star generic awakening gem in there is a permanent advantage to those people because you have only released one 6 star generic awakening gem that you don't have to spend money for and that is in Abyss of Legends. Speaking of Abyss of Legends, its unacceptable that you put in an Abyss Nexus Crystal Selector in there as well, because like many others who 100% explored Abyss of Legends, it took a ton of units and revives and resources and your giving it and all the other stuff mentioned in the solo rewards in the top 30 bracket. The rewards in the 31-60 are also including 1 and 1/2 T6B and T3A and the ability to select 2 T5CC and take a 6 star to sig 100 with one stone and throwing in a Weapon X.
The Alliance Rank rewards are just as responsible as one person gunning for the top 30 solo event ranking can carry an alliance to the top rank and that is an extremely high advantage to other players who can and can't spend because they are in an alliance with a whale account that can spend over 10 grand in gifting and that and the solo rankings caused an exponential shift for high end spenders to be miles ahead of me and the other players who don't spend much on the game outside of July 4th and Cyber Weekend. If kabam were smart, they would remove the rank rewards for solo and alliance rewards and just do milestones but put more rank 4 materials and shards and other materials in both alliance and solo gifting milestones, so people that can spend a lot of money and give them an advantage can still do so by opening hundreds of GGCs without breaking the balance of the game through the Gifting event. This event also shows that Kabam is preparing to open the vault of rank 4 materials into the game. Kabam Mike and HQ, I am calling you out on that because every gifting event you've ever done, you have opened the vault for the next big thing in the game and give it out like candy during gifting, I am expecting that you do the right thing when you release Act 7.4 and put in at least 1 T6b and T3A for exploring act 7 and put in a healthy amount of generic rank up gems from 1-2 and 2-3 and put in generic 6 star awakening gems because crystals are old news with how developed 90% of 6 star rosters right now.
The best thing you can do is to release new content like a new abyss for rank 4 6 stars and give people their first rank 4 and that would make most of the player base happy.
Sincerely,
The Warrior4357.
That said, they keep this game free for me and I still beat most in AW so it is what is it.
Ive never liked the gifting event, it is just whaling without a limit.
either way, the solo rewards dont really affect me, I just do hope it does not accelerate r5 6*.
I couldn't agree more. They say stuff and it riles up the player base because they have a reach. No one talks about the other players who leave the game daily.
