It's a free gift, Kabam didn't have to give us anything. Imagine just how many complaints there would be then. There was absolutely no promise or arrangement beyond: "We're giving out a gift and there will be a Valiant tier." So yeah, manage your expectations better.
It's a free gift.
Are you entitled to something beyond what was given? If so, why and what? Genuinely - I would like to know. Not you specifically but the royal "you". The community. People have been posting for weeks what they were imagining and what they'd like... but I promise you, Kabam could have given absolutely everyone a gift of their own selection and people would still complain and call it trash. "My alt account doesn't qualify?? That's outrageous!"
So really. What exactly are you entitled to as a free holiday gift and why are you entitled to it? Because you played a game? Because you spent some units? Spent some real world money? Does that mean others are more or less entitled to the gift?
I know this ask won't actually change anyone's stance and will just result in some "disagree" spams but to everyone actually disappointed or even angry I say this: Do some self-reflection. You're disappointed? That's your own fault. Legitimately. You sent the expectations and now you're struggling with the fact that the expectations were neither met nor were they surpassed. That's not on Kabam. That's not their failure. It's yours.
The sense of entitlement in this community is beyond ridiculous.
Would have been great if the Nexus gave the desired champ but this is by no means a complaint. So thank you and merry christmas everyone. 😊
Is his 'Lock on' better than OG falcon?
I never said any of that, if you read my comment slowly you'll realize I said the gift was alright lol. All I said was white knights acting like the gift is "amazing" because it's free is dumb, and if some Paragons feel the gift was disappointing they're free to feel that way because of how bad the Banquet event was this month for them, it's really not that deep.
plus my next r3
thanks kabam!
Every. Single. Time. So no, I don't buy your "they were on another level!".
Every single time there's compensation given out there are people who complain that it's not good enough.
The shooting stars, people complained. The Paragon challenges, so straightforward and pretty easy for the rewards, people still complain. The past two Side Quests have been horrible - the Goldpool track wasn't great. Complaints.
The Triple-Double track was one of the best things Kabam's done this year, they practically gave away a 7* and oh wait, people still complained about it.
Kabam decided to add more milestones to the Necropolis challenge - additional rewards. People still complain and act entitled as if 1000 7* shards isn't enough. We should be getting Titan shards or Crystals or Sig stones or T4 alpha fragments instead.
I understand that you said the gift was alright, which is why I specified that my comments weren't referring to you in particular but the royal "you" (community) complaining about the gift.
Do I get annoyed at things Kabam does? All the time, I've probably been more snarky in posts than the majority of people on these forums. I also think the Valiant daily crystals should have a small possibility of giving out T4 Alpha fragments because it's the next tier and yet we have absolutely no way of getting R3 characters. Every single progression level prior to this has helped those summoners rank additional champions to the tier required for obtaining that progression level. There are many things we can choose to question and get disappointed about. But getting annoyed or angry at a gift not living up to expectations that we set is something that's genuinely not fair to put on Kabam. That's not on them and pretending it is is nothing more than pure entitlement. Saying as much is not white knighting anything - it's simply being honest.
I got a 7* that I didn't have before today. I'm fortunate in that aspect. But yeah, the gift was RNG. So there's a chance I could have duped my 7* VTD and made him sig 40. Which would have sucked, but I wouldn't really have room to complain. I didn't get a new champion and I don't need a 6* at all, but I got ISO, gold and Shards.
I think the gift was awesome because I set my expectation of getting nothing exciting. So what I got was far more than what I expected. So yeah, thanks Kabam.
Again, to the people who are disappointed, I ask to reflect and be honest: is the disappointment simply because you expected more than what you got and if so: What would have made you happy and why do you feel entitled to that instead of what you recieved?
I don't like it, but that's a completely separate conversation, sorry.
To get back on point: I know it doesn't seem like it but I support everyone's stance here. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I'm truly sorry if people feel disappointed. I may not agree, but that shouldn't diminish how they feel.
2023 get class 6r2 gem lol, thats is actually worse
how does it get worse for cavaliers from previous year.
Dr. Zola
You can believe what you want lol it takes three brain cells to figure out which items are relevant to an endgame player and which ones aren't it's not rocket science.
The SQs have in fact been garbage and Kabam already acknowledged this in the livestream so I don't know what you're implying by using that as an example.
We are in fact getting 1k Titan shards as additional milestones not 7* shards. I'm confused now, you're mad about people complaining but you just gave me two examples of Kabam agreeing with the playerbase when it comes to free stuff to prove what? Lol
If people don't voice their opinions on the forums then how exactly will Kabam know what the playerbase is or isn't interested in? Kabam Miike himself has asked people for constructive criticism multiple times when it comes to complaints, and telling people to be quiet just because it's a free gift isn't really helping Kabam or the playerbase.
The disappointment doesn't come just from the gift, it comes from everything that's happened this month as a whole. Not only was it mcoc's anniversary it's Christmas too, and the Banquet event as well as the calendars and SQ were all disappointing. I can guarantee you if the Banquet hadn't been as bad as it was, at least 50% of the people angry in the comment section would not be complaining.
Tried my luck with another Mutant Nexus...
still no Apocalypse
I'll bet real cash that 75% of the playerbase just went oh look, free gift and that was the end of their thought process about the xmas gift this year.
I don't hear tons of players actually upset: some thought it was fine, some thought it should be higher, but I have to come to the forums to find people actually upset about it, as I do for most things. Even the Reddit seems much less angry in general than they used to be.
For many, the amount of money spent on this game annually certainly warrants "customer appreciation" events that keep interest growing. There is no such thing as "business appreciation" for a reason, we show our appreciation with dollars, and Kabam shows theirs with rewarding our loyalty/purchases with events like these.
When you flop hard with major events, customers show their dissatisfaction, it is not rocket science. The worst thing a business can do is keep repeating the same mistake over and over.
They don't owe you anything for spending on the game other than access to what you pay for. Courtesies are appreciated but never demanded.
We hear this justification regularly. "We spend enough money on the game...." Only, it's not one individual. It's a collective of people who choose to spend on advancing instead of waiting. For that, they get what they pay for. Further to that, most of the people who make that argument don't spend at all, or enough to be that entitled.
All of our Accounts have something they never had before today. This isn't an obligation. It isn't remuneration or a stipend. It's a gift to acknowledge the holidays.
If people aren't happy with what it is, that's one thing. If people are going to claim it's owed to us, I draw the line.
