A strong Summoner celebrates another Summoner's opportunity to grow.
As a paragon, all I want is Aegon and crapload of revives.
It’s pretty clear what the “problem is”The majority of the player base are in limbo,..not Valiant or motivated towards progression.That’s why there are “alternative ways to progress”, and why the last banquet and this event have been more structured to lower tiers.I have seen many players quit the game even after defeating the GM and getting Thronebreaker…as far back as a couple years ago.Always baffled me,..but progression and the motivation to do so must obviously be a problem.

This is definitely hitting the nail on the head, It still feels unbalanced because the fun of it is gone for most. I took a 3 yr break and then ended up PG within a short time thanks to the recent massive changes to the game on the quality of life side, and while I commend Kabam for all the changes it feels a little late.I found my own way to enjoy the game again which involves slowing down on the chase and stacking units.
My main account took 2 months for Valiant. My secondary took 10 minutes.
Trying to make the argument that Summoners below you shouldn't get as much of an opportunity to progress because they're a lower progression level, is a losing battle. A strong Summoner celebrates another Summoner's opportunity to grow. Don't be the type of person to climb the ladder and pull it up behind you.
Okay, let's get this all out there, because there's a lot of perspectives bouncing around on this.The facts are, Cavalier, Thronebreaker and Paragon are all grouped in together, yes. Moving beyond facts to inteprepretation/perspective: As I previously mentioned, it's easy to interpret this as "Paragon are getting worse deals because they're connected to Cavalier." However, from the tuning intention of the gameteam, the reality is: "Cavalier Summoners are getting better deals because they're getting deals catered to Paragons." There's evidence of this exact sentiment in this thread when people are saying there are resources available to Cavaliers that they shouldn't need, because they're too end-game-focused.To address this directly: "Paragon offers are potentially being toned down due to the bracket extending towards lower progression players resulting in 'less value for the buck'" - they are not. Again, I understand how easy it is to find this perspective, but as someone aware of the intention in building these deals, I assure you that is not the case.Realistically, the amount of time and energy it takes to create and balance an event of this magnitude is waaaaay bigger than you think it is. It is outside the realm of possibility for every progression bracket to get their own deals. So, again, the team casts a wider net and groups different groups together. In this case, Cavalier are getting better deals as a result.Trying to make the argument that Summoners below you shouldn't get as much of an opportunity to progress because they're a lower progression level, is a losing battle.

For early Paragons who are complaining, those items are still pertinent to your roster.To late Paragons who are complaining, why aren’t you Valiant yet?🤷🏻♂️ I've only been playing the game since November, so the way people talked about the summer sale event had me expecting something, I don't know... different?As a newer player, I didn't have a 36,000 unit-spend solo event on my bingo card, so that leaves an impression.I'm not going to complain, but the hype was definitely overstated.(I did spend a few bucks... But I very much expected to be compelled to spend more.)Banquet spoiled me I guess.
