Unpopular opinion: Banquet Event - Discussion
I personally wanna hear your thoughts on how the event could have been better, but also give a counter argument for your own thoughts. I.e. Awakening gems would have been nice in the GBC, but it would have gave whales the opportunity to awaken all their champions or we would have gotten a lot of 7* awakened spots, etc in the BG and AW.
TL/DR Overall, I think it was a good event because it doesn't destroy the economy. It helped other players progress who aren't at the top, but you could still partially benefit from rank up material given & top players got new content and a progression. People didn't think about the repercussions of a boosted event in terms of economy down the line and gave a lot of hate.
I, personally, would say that the event was good.
I understand that the rewards weren't too valuable for people who grind everyday and are in the top, but you could still receive 7*'s and rank up material for 7*'s and 6*'s which was RNG based; however, Necropolis was released along with a new progression title with boosted daily crystal rewards giving players new progress to go for. The issue with being at top of the game is everything prior is now useless. Once you start getting maxed sig, all the champs, etc. then most content isn't worthwhile until new updates are released with new champs, new level ups, etc.
Overall, there was 2 ways to go with this event. Think about it honestly, which would you rather have preferred.
1. Release 7* sig stones, awakening stones, 7* shards, titan shards, etc in the GBC to appeal to the top players, but this would greatly devalue the 7* champs since they were released less than a year ago. Having maxed sig 7*'s prior to even being able to max rank it. This means that lower players, uncollected, cavalier, etc having access to these rewards would throw off the economy especially for any new players that join in 2024.
2. The banquet event we got which doesn't destroy the economy. (A lot of people in global already complained about 7*'s being easily accessible for lower players as is, imagine if the event was greatly boosted. The community uproar would have been significant and then a few months down the line people would complain on forums about how the event ruined the economy)
I feel bad for Kabam because I think they got a lot more hate for the event without people looking at what the overall effects of what their ideal perfect event can have down the line.
