If there was gonna be no Gold Deals 2022, what could have Kabam done instead to avoid this fiasco?

For me, they could have at least thought of something like a "Gold Store" where you can spend your goals on something useful for your progression level. It doesn't have to be anything close to what we would have gotten from gold deals (like the 6* Nexus crystal) but even T5B shards for xAmount of gold would have lessened the tremendous fiasco resulting from this completely lackluster event.

The expectation in all forums, reddit, line chats, and youtubers, were trending away from "Do you think there will be a gold event" to "save 8 mill for the possible (but probably) gold event." Therefore, keeping it clear and saying "no gold event this year" would have been better. You know, the typical short and sweet (to the point) Kabam Jax responses.
I get what Kabam was trying to do with Thrillson, but if you want to build excitement and expectation, then fun, whimsical, and even sometimes cryptic messaging is a great way to build the imagination. So in this case, roleplaying deadpool - a sarcastic, breaking the 4th wall, subverting expectations character - was a poor way to communicate the truth of "no gold event."
TLDR: they should have just ripped the bandaid off and said in clear, straight forward tone to let go of the hyped expectation of a gold event this year.
What they could’ve done is not said they were “trying something new” within the post. As the set up of this event is not new at all.
I have been playing the game for about 5 years now
I don't remember so much Gold ever being on sale
Maybe, and it's a long shot for this connection to be accurate, they were offered because there are "gold shortage" threads every other day. Just a hunch but very doubtful a gold offer isn't tied to people saying they're always short of gold.
I'm sure your consp.... Er... Idea is more accurate.
This is on the community! As much as i hate to give kabam anything, they never said there was going to be an "items for gold offer," they said "Gold offers" and there is gold with every offer. That was what they meant but they let us believe they meant gold for items, not gold itself in the offers.
When I first saw all the scuttle butt about a repeat of last year? I had serious doubts that we had fully understood the announcement and i never believed there were going to be "gold for items" offers.
The gold for items offer last year was for a very specific purpose, to push as mant of us to thronebreaker as possible so they could anmounce 7 * as soon as possible (already being a year behind the orginal 7* time line) it was a one off to push us to a level we might spend and to prep for 7s.
They do not care about free to play players,
And gold for items is a pro free to play event more than any other before or since.
It will not come back until it is useful to them like it was last time.
We have been manipulated by being allowed to run with the idea while they figured out how to untangle it with thrillson.
We are a bunch of suckers to them.
In the name of our Lord and Savior Silver Centurion, please explain how more thronebreaker summoners means they can announce 7*'s sooner. I need to hear this, not because it would do any good or make any of it actually true but this sounds better than an episode of Ancient Aliens on history channel.
What has that to do with 7s?
When you have less than half the players in the game without any r3 6* and you introduce 7s? You risk a mass exodus. And they were intended to be released a year ago based on the first, and one of the few times kabam ever mentioned 7s officially (other than their shills testing the waters).
So now you know. For what it is worth to either of us.
