If you can buy a whole AW seasons worth of items for £35 and keep buying it over and over, it kinda devalues doing war. Why bother when you can just buy more than the rewards?
I don’t think it’s a good offer to keep permanently. If it was one off, sure, but not constantly.
Buff AW rewards because this shouldn’t be a game where you can consistently get more than the highest skill mode rewards, for just £35.
More increase than they've ever done in the past
And that is where I'm doubtful as I believe they won't do that

It should only be purchasable once every few months, if that often. It puts rewards you can get by playing to shame.
July 4th and Cyber weekend is one thing, but something you can buy weekly that is the same or better than AW seasons is silly.
It leads to the fact that AW and AQ need seriously buffed rewards.
These offers are certainly enticing. But post-July 4 Paragon deals, I am not surprised. Personally I applaud Kabam for in general getting more generous with rewards, which are virtual doodads they can create endlessly.
A lot of players , like me, are just here to have fun playing with comic book characters, and we ignore high tier AW because we don’t want the hassle. We like to collect and rank up champs, and likely our existence in MCOC barely registers for the top level of players. So if I get rank 4 my Doom bc of this new crystal, you’ll almost certainly never even know it happened.

It does concern me a bit though, because the sooner that R4 champions reach saturation, the sooner we will have to see R5 and whatever is coming after 6* champions. We still have very little idea what that will look like, and with the way R4 materials are flowing currently, we will likely have to find out soon.
Yes Kabam need to make money, but the game also needs to remained ‘fairly’ balanced. These offers tip the scales too much.
The AW rewards revamp might come together with the whitelist/blacklist of champs.
Nothing needs to be nerfed from this new daily special but it would be nice to boost some of the free to play rewards in the game.
The whole notion though that people who are ftp deserve the same opportunity and rewards as paying players is absurd though, if that was the case no one would spend..and the game would die
The game rewards those who spend and that's just game economy 101.
People said that you didn’t need to spend in war to be at the top, not that 1) people don’t spend, 2) war doesn’t take an immense amount of time in planning/effort and 3) war doesn’t take a lot of skill
If you can get around all that by spending £5 a day for a week, that devalues all of the effort, time, skill and yes, spending if people spend that it takes to get to masters in war.
Yes, of course there is meant to be a difference between spending and playing, but there gets a certain point where it’s too much. I, and clearly others, feel that point is here.
If Kabam offered 30 rank 4 champions and 3 champion selectors for £50 I think that would be bad for the economy of the game and the experience of the players. But by your logic you would respond like this
“we're pitting free rewards vs paid rewards again and there is meant to be a disparity. So play War and get free rewards or spend. It's up to the player. Kabam isn't forcing anyone to buy this. If you'd rather be "gud" and war for rewards, keep doing that. But you can't be mad at someone who opts to spend because they don't like war.”
All of what you said applies to both the offers, but I think we both agree the offer I suggested is far too much. The difference is, we think this one is too much as well. So your defence of “kabam isn’t forcing anyone to but it” and everything else doesn’t really hold up.
Nobody is saying don’t have offers, they’re saying offers can give *too much* compared to the normal game and just playing. We think this one is too much, not that any advantage whatsoever is bad. Please bear that in mind and don’t conflate all these things.
Secondly, there are more Rewards for War than just those Frags.
The Offer is for Paragon Players. We've seen the same thing done with Mats that Players who hit TB hit. They always make them more available after the Milestone is reached. People also had a number of complaints about Para not having very many benefits thus far.
The game is, and will always be, a spending-optional game. It's a Freemium game.
you can offer extremes but it's just my opinion that this isn't one of those. it's a great offer for people who spend money on the game. period. it doesn't and shouldn't cause any look at the current state of war rewards. war rewards are still really good and this offer is really good too.
I'm not sure why you guys are in a riff about it as if they both can't coexist.
do you ever hear spenders complaining that hey it's not fair that free to play can get what I can pay for ... if I'm spending I don't want those F2P guys to be able to get it.
like I said, it's smelling a bit like entitlement and that's disappointing as if you guys are the only ones who should get rank 4 champs or resources...my stuff should be better than their stuff etc.
cmon man. it's just a game.
