Like is this even worth it?

Iv’e found myself running out of champs i care about ascending tbh.
But here’s the question: is it worth it for Kabam to put out the offer in the first place? Sure. Why not? Why not drain some units from the ultra-rich and give them some trinkets in return that none of us would care too much about if they bought them?
Remember: for every offer, there is always a group of people who buy it. And there is also the vast majority who don’t. How do you keep both groups happy? Most of the time, you make sure that what the first group buys is something they are happy with, and if they bought it that’s likely the case. And you make sure that whatever it is, it is something everyone else is not too upset about when they don’t get it.
The players who bought that offer were fine with it. The rest of us are fine not having it. That’s a monetization win/win.
But if someone is close to topping off their t2 dust, it might work for them.
4k units??? I'm not sure it's worth 500units for a full ascension. This offer should've been 150 units not 1500
And how can you title it "worst deal" and then ask if it is worthy?...Seems like you are seeking attention at this point.
Last 4th of July Kabam “blew it out of the water”, now it feels like everything has slowed to a trickle,.,with scarcity of rank up materials such as tier 4 alpha,..and some of the absurd unit offers featuring 6 star nexus crystals and iso or dust to ascend more 6 star champs.
I can’t speak for everyone, but i assume most right now would rather focus on their 7 star champs instead of reverting back to 6 stars.
Nothing wrong with ascension,..but when looking at some of the most worthy candidates, many people already have them or they are available to them as a 7 star.
Nor is there any big conspiracy to drain Players before that sale. I think that paranoia needs to die a speedy death.
I will admit I've noticed the high value Kabam has set for Dust, but it's really up to how they want to release it at the end of the day. It's evident they want it to be limited at this point.
They have R4>R5 sags gems for 3000 units, which is significantly cheaper than buying the resources for units.
1/1 T3 or T6 costs 475 units. You need 6 of each for R4>R5, which is 5700 units in the rank-up store as valiant.
You can't buy T6CC or T5CC for units, so the real value of R4>R5 saga gems is significantly higher.
Here, however, there is an extra rank on top of R5, so if it costs 3000 units for R4>R5... is it unreasonable that it costs 1000 units extra for the next level? Without saga champ restrictions?
So the question becomes, how much does the extra % in defense/attack help you in e.g. BG... to decide tight fights in your favor, and what influence does it have on your rewards?
I wouldn't use 4000 units, but 1500 units for 75 PD2, if it gets you over 200 PD2...it's more tempting.
And exactly the way I would do it if it was my job. And how the vast majority of players would in fact prefer it to be, if they actually stopped to consider the ramifications of all other possibilities.
What i am trying to point out is that last 4th of July deals almost everyone agrees “were exceptional “.
The general consensus is that Kabam over shot on those deals.
So what happens in that circumstance?
Slow things down a bit,..pull back..and rebalance by maybe overvaluing some of what they’re offering.
And maybe not “offering” what most end game players wan’t.
That’s all i’m saying,..i however do agree with you that there isn’t any big conspiracy by kabam to “drain our units” before 4th of July deals,..as proof from the offer being discussed lol .
…so maybe i should be grateful,..thanks Kabam 😀
First of all before analyzing game deals you have to think of the main idea, they are selling pixels. There is no cost to sell them. Yes there is devs and time used; but its not like they are selling you a potato that took a whole season of harvesting.
