Cost of Living Raise

Good afternoon, I come here to make a simple request and one that is needed to help all summoners further in the game.
Your three year anniversary of MCOC is nearing, as y’all have announced today. With that I looked back at all the time I have played this game. Going clear back to the beginning.
I started playing this game The January after it came out, I remember being excited as a huge Marvel fan, and also a fan of Mortal Kombat type games.
When I first began playing 2* were your jam, they did what you needed, then I remember when I saw the first offer I ever purchased. A brand new, shiny, good looking 3* DeadPool! Man was I excited, was going to be sweet to have this 3* thinking i’d be able to walk all over this content. As at that time 3* were the good ones, most common champs used, 4* were rare and for me I only saw them if I purchased a 4* crystal. I ranked up my DP the moment I had enough gold from questing arena etc. as just like now that was the only way to earn gold.
Now we fast forward 3 years, 3* are pointless almost to everyone, 4* are nearing that way, 5* are the new jam and 6* are just around the corner. But yet we still only can get gold the same way... But if you think, now you even get less gold to go towards your champs than you did before. With the addition of AQ first you needed gold donations and now gold and Bc donations all your gold can no longer go to upgrading champs. You can no longer open all your Bc to hopefully get the gold you needed, and yes while we have more quests now than we did back then, the gold rewards in those quests have not increased.
I think I can say I speak for everyone when I say, the gold needs to be increased in questing if we are going to survive the era of 6*.
Yeah, I know you have given us these “gold quests” the last couple years. But I also hope you don’t think the 3 weeks of those gives us enough for the following 11 months of drought. While questing you can get 100ish gold per fight, now tell me how that translate to the cost of 4/5/6* rankings.
You recently announced 5.4 rewards and with that a R5 5* will be becoming available. To just rank that champ to R5 it’s apprx 550k gold then if you add up the cost of iso to level the champ up, I don’t think it’d be wrong to quests that that’ll be roughly another 500k gold easily. So that’s 1m gold right there with one rank..
All I’m asking is for y’all to realize the “cost of living” or cost of playing has increased from where it was at the beginning. Quests all around need more gold added for it to at least be noticeable.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and hopefully you forward this to who needs to see it, as I’m sure it’ll have much support from the community.
Sincerely, Polite Chow

The same could be true with arena. I know a LOT of people who have simply quit doing arena. maybe if arena paid back some significant gold at each milestone, it'd encourage more people to get in there and grind.
The current reward system for gold no longer equates to the ecosystem that you, Kabam, has developed. We aren’t asking for pots of gold to be dumped, but to have the game in more balance so guys aren’t queued up outside gold quests like an addict in East Van. Make the gold reward content more commiserate to the contents difficulty progression.
Thank you for any help and a response would be great.
To make an investment of 6 mastery points worth it for folks who want to switch gears for gold gathering over competitive fighting, and now I think if that were done in addition to a modest daily gold realm we could see a fix to this problem.
It gives everyone open access to boosted funds, but also makes a bit of a trade off so Kabam game teamsters can't claim "imbalance, hur-dur-durr" as a reason not to. I started up about the same time as OP, and his story is spot-on to my own. Fingers crossed we see some kind of cashy development soon.
Shocking some of the back to back spider Gwen’s joined just to post, even more fishy. Social engineer with sock puppets much?
are you still with Lgn-1? How is it there at the top?
Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.
I have over 4 million gold myself.
Back in the old days, people use to whine all day and night about "too much useless gold". The reason for that were the following:
1. Arena scoring placed a premium on low PI heroes so players did not bother to level up and rank up their heroes
2. People complained that it took too much time to get the necessary cats and when they finish the quests, they got nothing.
3. People did not get too many PHCs. The arena milestones that we have today did not exist in the old days so "premium" really meant premium, resulting in fewer heroes to upgrade.
4. There were no alliance events, monthly quests, and the like to get more PHCs. And most importantly,
5. Players grinded the arena a lot to get more gold they had no plans in using. They sold the excess isos that were about to expire to get even more gold they aren't going to use.
So we had a lot of MCOC billionaires complaining that they have too much money in the bank.
Today, players get PHCs like candy so they have a lot more heroes to upgrade. Cats are also easier to get so now they are more likely to have the items needed to rank up. Arena scoring had changed so there is no reason for them to not level up/rank up heroes.
The only thing that did not change since the early days is the arena grinding.
Sorry, that's just not true at all. I grind both arenas, both sets of milestones, and spend every bar of gold I get instantly. I always have champs to rank up, more champs than gold. I don't have any other options to increase my gold income other than to buy gold crystals (not a chance, they're the worst value item in the game).
