A Legitimate Compensation Post

I first would like to fall back on my history in the forums to prove that I extremely rarely mention compensation, or rank-down tickets, or free gifts from Kabam being given to players (other than the occasional thanks). That being said, there have over the last year(ish) been some outright problems with the game, bugs, questionable business decisions, and other related issues that have impacted players. There have been some great additions, pieces of content, rewards, and other positive things as well.
If Kabam were to send you an in-game message tomorrow that completely (in your eyes) made up for all of their mistakes, bugs, issues, however intended, what would it include? What do you think would would be a fair, reasonable, and warranted message (or compensation) and would that include some form of rewards/items/etc?

* I will add in a disclaimer that I am not asking for compensation, do not necessarily think that I deserve and free gift from Kabam, nor am I trying to encourage ridiculous Forums etiquette. I simply am curious about the community's opinion and interested in how such events have impacted others in their respective gaming situations. *

If compensation does come? Looking at previous comp packages I’d expect a nexus based on progression level, a bit of rank up mats and some potions/revives etc
Compensation kept people happy enough to stick around while they're figuring this out. Technically, if the game were to be 100% fixed, the people who have stuck it out this long aren't going to up-and-leave because of a lack of compensation. They should be happy enough to have a working game.
That said, a showing of gratitude to everybody would be nice but a six star nexus for example is great for the guys who pull Kitty, terrible for the guys who pull Groot.
It would be a great time see the introduction of their wish crystal, otherwise I would like to see some rank up materials, sig stones or awakening gems.
Thoughts on a 6 star champion selection crystal? Pick any champion in the game -- nobody can moan about that right? And one champion alone isn't game breaking in the current meta.
The issues are far from fixed, and no compensation package will change that
I will say - A 6* Class nexus , One mythic crystal , A 5* Nexus , One 6* AG crystal, 50 6* sig stone crystals , 3-5m gold , Greater champion boosts / Attack boosts / Health boosts , 15 level 3 revives , 15 level 6 heals , 5 team revives , 5 level 5 team heals , 10k glory , 300k loyalty , 10 energy refills , 6* rank 1-2 class gem crystal , 6* r2-3 class gem crystal , 10 cavalier nexus crystals.
I am myself Paragon. Don't prefer much free stuff , still as the post asked so I answered
(Edit:- This data has been written keeping those forum users in mind to leave no space for argument )
The last package we got has a 6* Nexus, 5* Nexus greater attack/health boosts, questing/AQ pots and revs, glory and a 10% T5cc selector.
How do you go from what we got 8 months ago to what you suggested? Not only that, we've been compensated every week since that last big package. There's just no chance any of the 6* rank up stuff would ever be included.
What I do think is in the best interest for Kabam is to send players some kind of thank you package for sticking with them through this last year. I don’t know what that would look like, but showing appreciation to the summoners who battled through this would go a long way.
Edit: I see you posted it above. That looks good to me. Maybe bump some things up a notch, but along the same lines
@Demonzfyre take the 6* rank up gems out . Everything rest is absolutely fine imo.
I’m also in the boat as will they ever actually fix the game? So I’m also not holding my breath there.
Something like we enter 6 champs, one from each class, and give it a spin
Sadly, that won’t happen. IF we even get one, it will be a nexus, shards, a few potions and revives, loyalty (yes!) and gold.
I think you know exactly what he meant. Why do you always have to detail threads?
There are a lot of people who think bugs shouldn't exist in this game.
So no, by someone saying they want a fixed game, I'm not going assume they are talking about just input issues.
How do you compensate for that? I don't know. Will a 6* Nexus be enough? No. I honestly don't see anything that would be. Because I don't need a loss of resources and new champions compensated (even if that would be nice) - I need compensation for my time and effort. Those are vastly more difficult to make right for.
At the same time, I was personally not affected by the issues. I feel really weird asking for compensation for that reason. But I am the leader of an alliance that was hit hard, and that had a lot of ripple effects throughout the year. Not least because it cut down our glory earnings by about 30-40% each week, despite the AQ compensation.
It's a complex situation. Luckily I don't really care anymore. Give me a functioning game. Give me something at the end. Hopefully with as little RNG involved as possible.
Of course the staunch Kabam defenders will say they were warned not to complete difficult content while the issues were ongoing but was the alternative to sit on our hands for a year?
The question is are Kabam willing to take a hit and issue units as part of the wider compensation package? Unlikely.
Will it be a 6* nexus and some materials - most likely.
As someone pointed out the nexus is great if you pull a great champion but if you pull someone woeful as your compensation for 12 months of input issues you’re not going to feel compensated or satisfied.
2 6* nexus’ rank up materials, at least 2 rank down gems, normal health potions, normal revives and 1500-3000 units depending on player progression levels.
You want up to $100 in units? Units that are free in-game? I'm willing those players that you know spent time in the arena for that "stash".
You are a shining example of why we don't get a say in comp/thank you packages. Lol RDTs... Jesus.
I think letting a summoner choose the one champion he wants the most would go a long way.
I seriously think the 6* Wish crystal is the best option as it is rare, unique, and benefits every player in the game all at once. Maybe if it is too much for super low rank players give them a 5* version if they think that is required. But overall i think this is the way to go.
