No Gold Refund for Rankdown?

Is this correct? Pretty sure I remember getting gold back the last time rankdown tickets were given out. Did that change this time around or is something not working right?

It's correct, says so in the email and the million threads already on the forum about it

Epistriatus

Read the mail that came along with the rdt

Read the email.

Yeah they told us that

The gold helped us so they removed that specific feature. The iso as well it helped us... anything that helps well bye, am I right kabam?

IAmNotUrMom

Ripped this from another thread:

As you can see clearly they highlighted that no gold or ISO would be returned at rank down.

To be fair they stated that if rank down tickets ever came back then they would be different than they were previously. I think the bigger reason for not getting gold or ISO back is because they want us to take ownership of who we are ranking up in the future. No more duped Ant-man or duped Colossus.

How is them not giving you gold that bad? What are you ranking down a 4r5 to 4r4? Thats 110k in gold or less if your ranking champs lower than that. You can get that gold in the medium halls of fortune. You really dont understand the reason they gave out rank down tickets or their value.

I just like the chance to rank down drax for sl as 5*. Drax was better prestige but not getting gold back was fine with me since they gave them out and there were no nerfs

Lol is this person serious? They gave you the ultimate holy grail of all the items that people want the most which they have said numerous times that they would never do and were never coming back and you still manage to complain about it? Really? GTFO.

Yes I agree that we tend to complain regardless of the situation but here's my 2 cents on this:
How many times did you read a thread that mentioned gold shortage for the last few months?
Kabam offers the 20% gold boost and "halls of fortune" recently to balance that out (amazing, thank you)! Why are you shorting us with gold when using RDTs, I feel like we are going backwards....its only 3 RDTs, not a big deal, but don't see the logic behind it!!

Overall, love those RDTs Kabam, thank you!!

because RDTs should have a penalty. in and of themselves, they're the most OP item that kabam has introduced to date, and to be able to use RDTs with impunity contributes to that OP-ness.

I agree with you!!! *5 AG and RDTs are the best items in the game and see your point of how we should have a penalty!!!! However, it seems like a bad timing when they acknowledge our need for gold and short us if we use RDTs....kinda doesn't make sense to me!!!

That's the thing though, the halls of fortune and gold boost were not due to gold shortages. They were anniversary rewards. To think they were to address some other situation is incorrect because they have released both before as anniversary events.

So the gold realm wasn't good enough? They have been very generous with what they gave us this month. Be happy with what you got. It's like someone gives you $5 and you are unhappy because you wanted $10. Everyone upset about not getting ISO and Gold from RDT's needs to be happy with what they got.

well here's the other thing, if you're short gold, you can rank down now and save gold to rank up later. the RDTs are
flexible.

as for making sense, not everybody is short gold. so if a certain percentage of the player base is short on gold, that's an issue mutually exclusive from RDTs.

Dude that's my point.....You give us The gold real because we were complaining about gold shortage and then you come up with a compensation where we lose gold if we chose to use them?????? Where's the logic behind that my brother?!?!

So if I'm dying from starvation and you give me water, I should try to eat the water and not complain about it!! gotcha!!!! cause if I complain, people are going to think im a baby for wanting food when Im hungry!!! LOL

Im with you at a %100...people complain all the time even after getting free stuff, its annoying!! This just doesn't make any sense for me!!!! I will need to sacrifice Gold to take advantage of another "compensation"

I will have to check that out, I wasn't under the impression that they released this for the shortage. I will double check that, thank you for pointing this out!

I get your point of view but I don't agree with that!!! Kabam giving those RDTs this month doesn't give any power to your statement!!! They really didn't have to give them to us and they did!! Bravo Kabam!!! I said it in a few other post before, my hat goes off to Kabam for the last 2 months!! a few server issues but very rewarding last 2 months!!!

I don't see it as a "penalty." Its more the case that these RDTs return catalysts, but not the other costs of rank up. So you can recover expensive catalysts with them, but you still need to spend gold and ISO to rank back up. I don't see that as a penalty per se, as the RDTs are offering something you otherwise cannot get: a second chance to spend cats.

Deadbyrd9

Who cares about the gold. That can be easily obtained compared to the catalysts you can get back from a rank 4 5*

different perspective, same lens i guess. as far as i'm concerned, needing to spend gold and iso is certainly a penalty as compared to the old RDTs that gave back everything.

@WhatRYou "notyourmom" said it right. Neither the gold realm nor the RDT's were compensation for anything. The gold realm was planned. They did the same thing last year for the holidays. The RDT's were "just because". Most likely because the forums are non-stop about asking for RDT's. They made a mistake by giving these out IMO. They weren't like last time so people are mad. They gave us only 3 so people are mad. They expire, so people are mad. They were a awesome surprise but the people that play this game can't just accept a awesome gift and be happy. There always has to be more.
