It's not a slap in the face to the f2p community, but still makes me sad

I'll miss my free 2* champs.

Seems odd that they decided to stop this without telling Miike or Jax about it until now. Someone over there needs to move communication with the communication team up the priority list several levels.

I used to get it but then a while back they clamped down on foreigners accessing the service. Not sure how many people participated.

Used to do this every month but fell off lately. RIP

It gave them "too much work to create the bundles". Like .... really?

I stopped because the marvel.com website was so miserable to navigate.

Yawn

Well that sucks. I loved the 2* champs

Was I the only one to use my points for this? Free comics.

I used it for that too every like 3 months.

Yes, it's disappointing. I'll admit, I hadn't used it in some time, but I was fond of it. I understand their reasoning, though.

I wish I had your life. Everything seems to be so easy for you to do. It must be amazing.

Probably takes a lot of coordination each month to have marvel insider with the comics and the game coinciding to bring the bundles

2023 just seems to be the year of Kabam trying to find less to do…and I don’t think I’m a fan of that.

Artwork, integration, coordination with the site team, reconciliation of data to distribute rewards, crystal implementation, it all adds up.

When I did the player notes for Deadpool, I spent one minute of typing and four hours of thinking. There was also time spent revising and editing, and then several someones at Kabam reviewed it and asked questions and made edits. It was checked for spelling, grammar, reasonableness, appropriateness for the brand, and then someone had to go format that for integration with the new website stylesheets. Multiple people had to discuss it and approve it. Sixty seconds of typing could have easily ended up taking collectively ten man hours of effort to put together. For something I could literally type in a minute.

That's what it is like when you work for a team within a group within a company within a corporation under a license managed by a rights owner the size of Godzilla with the attention span of the Eye of Sauron.

Kabam isn't deciding to do less. The boss of the person that is doing is deciding they want that guy to do something else instead. They guys who make the decisions generally try to ensure the people doing the work are using every hour of the day.

When your boss tells you to stop doing the thing you're doing but doesn't tell you to start doing something else instead, that's not usually a sign the company has decided to do less. That's usually a sign the company has decided to do it without you.

Since they have done this, i think they should start updating the PHCs and the 2* crystals from the sunday arena.
