The time has come for myself to finally call a quits to this game. I started this playing this game when a fellow coworker introduced me to Mcoc summer of 2015. Through the years I’ve had the honor to play with some awesome alliances and a few not so great alliances. This game has been there for me through the tough challenges in life and also the happy moments. The reason I’m leaving might sound a little stupid but this all comes from the Valentine’s Day calendar as a paragon player. With all the hype around the calendar I believed (my fault) that paragon players would get a 7* champ and not a CHANCE at one. This made me realize the growing gap between paragon vs valiant players. Ever since the valiant title came out, there has been minimal opportunities to achieve valiant without spending big. Even after completing necropolis, I was unable to r3 a champ because my options were limited with champions. I saw a video on the upcoming BG store buff and there are little changes coming to Paragon players and still I see no way of be long valiant through the BG store. This morning I was made aware of AW changes with top 10 alliances receiving a 7* and that was the tipping point. From what I remember, achieving paragon wasn’t this limiting. So that being said, the time has come for me to sadly uninstall MCOC and will remain now and I the future FOREVER Paragon

Making a mountain out of nowhere
However, I will point out that the reason you're giving is not entirely truthful. You're pointing out things that are true: it is true that there's a gap in rewards between Paragon and Valiant, and it is true that at the moment it is not easy to become Valiant. Whether it is actually harder than it was to become Paragon or Thronebreaker is debatable, but it is not easy for most players, deliberately so.
What you aren't mentioning, which is the most important element of all of this, is that Valiant has only been around for a relatively short period of time, and just like Paragon and just like Thronebreaker before that, it will get easier over time to become Valiant. What you're complaining about is a temporary situation. You're not quitting because there's a big gap between Paragon and Valiant and you can't become Valiant. You're quitting because there's a big gap between Paragon and Valiant and you can't close that gap now.
Maybe you were Paragon soon after release. Maybe you were Thronebreaker soon after release. The reason why you're quitting is because you can't be Valiant within six months of release. 99.9% of all players of this game are never at the top progression title soon after it comes out. Most will never be at the top progression title ever, only achieving those titles when they are no longer the top title. And yet, they continue to play the game fine.
I'm not saying you're wrong for wanting to be at the top, always. If that's what your goal is for the game, and you have finally decided you can't be at the top so the game no longer interests you, that's your choice. But don't blame the cost of becoming Valiant - players of this game will eventually become Valiant for free, it will just take time (everything eventually gets done for free, because most players play for free, it just takes time). And don't blame the reward gap between Valiant and Paragon, because that gap was always there between progression titles going all the way down to Uncollected. The reason you're leaving is because you can't be at the top, and if you can't be at the top, you don't want to play.
May life be better without the game.
I also just took another r3 up with catalysts, bought 1.5 t4a on Cyber with units, and another 1.5 for 9k units from the Romance store.
If you're not willing to put in the effort and make some though choices, you don't have the right to complain.
By not ranking an average or even bad champ to r3 just to become Valiant, you're missing out on a lot of rewards that would give you the flexibility to rank anyone you want. Kinda like cutting your nose to spite your face.
Gonna steal this real quick
The game keeps on going like that, You can either push or play chill, But quitting a game over this reason is absurd
Most of the posts about valiant I’ve been engaged with is people with the valiant title arguing about how little value it has. Spend most of my time defending its value based exclusively on the daily crystal
At the outset of this kabam did a fairly excellent job outlining exactly how people would have access to valiant across the first several months. You either did Necro and bought the cyber deals, explored necro, or waited until 8.4 dropped and some combination of the above.
And then they promised that they would slowly introduce valiant based rewards in the interim. Certainly what they never said was that valiant would be totally worthless until they dropped 8.4
now, without getting too much into the weeds, I think I can fairly argue that my life is worse, harder and more constrained than the vast majority of the people playing this game. For me, the game is an escape and a distraction. the way that I got valiant done, to be honest, was leaving my alliance. It offered no meaningful help towards getting the title, and in fact, was making it impossible to focus on it. And I haven’t gone back as I still don’t see the upside in the face of my responsibilities versus actually achieving the things I want in game.
If you can’t leave your alliance because that’s part of the joy of the game to you, then you have your reward. The relationships in your alliance. And then I wouldn’t see why you would leave the game as you would leave those relationships. Otherwise, make a choice? Would the game be more fun as a valiant? then become a valiant.
Even kabam ignored bg store for 3-4 month for valient. they finally did it. Now you are coming with a sad post and uninstalling the MCOC. I am glad kabam atleast gave FTP to get the valient title with spending money by exploring necropolis.
