Why did you buy the original if you think it's a bad deal? If you thought it was a good deal, then you got what you purchased.
Are they not allowed to make their offers better?
Read the room bro… nobody said they regret buying the original offer. But for it to be the same offer jsut 3 days later with a much better upside? Feels predatory…
What exactly do you mean by 'predatory'??
Kabam releases and offer, not enough people buy it, they make the offer better.
What exactly is wrong in that?
The longer they wait to change it, the more people there will be who will say "nooo why did you change it"
Predatory in that you are selling on FOMO.
The “better” offer is not an upgraded offer intended for everyone as you suggested in your reply. I’d venture to believe that wasn’t the case. It’s for valiant, on the webstore, with a purchase limit.
I would be more inclined to believe that those that bought the $50 offered from Friday feel bad after opening their crystals and now feel even worse seeing this offer with the key, had they waited 3 days.
Right here man lol
Got it when event came out.. since “value wise”
10 crystals alone already is steep at 3k units
It’s crazy they actually did this AFTER the backlash

They didnt "make a better offer" it was planned since the start except no one knew, you think they're at home on holiday making offers? Some ccp members told us to chill on buying cause there's more but kabam themselves never said anything

Fingers crossed we here something haha, so unfair for us that bought some before this deal…
Did you submit a ticket
I submitted a ticket with a link to the forum post. Hopefully Kabam does something about It... It's not right for them to play with our money like that.
I think everyone can agree how great the christmas gift was, but i do hope that doesn't cover the cracks of this event, im in the same boat as you guys who spent £100 before the keys were added. Scam comes to mind

Except I’m pretty sure the bundle in the store last year ONLY had the 7*.
They should have had included the keys from the start, then they can sell it again together with the christmas deals. They should give keys to those who purchased the initial deals. If it was announced I would have waited.
I know it’s frustrating, but they do say check web store first for better deals! Thats why I always go there first before buying. I’m sorry it happened, but you can’t blame Kabam!
Even on the stream they say check the store! Once these bundles come out, i go straight to the store. I don’t really buy the bundles in game unless i have to!
You should have checked the store first when bundles came out! Everyone sounds like those crazy Black Friday shoppers. Things happen, things in life are not perfect! So don’t blame Kabam. They always say, check the store for better deals!

Yeah and many did, but: 1)there weren't any track bonuses at the start of the event so you'd be missing out ; AND 2) the main point of this thread is that the offer at the start was different(and worse) than the one released 4 days later, it's not like on the webstore it's been the same from day one, and you saying stuff like this feels disingenious and frankly ill informed
TL,DR If you don't know stuff if you can't avoid saying something at least don't act like you're better than others and possess some sage wisdom

Love it when I buy these bundles on Saturday, no word about a key, then guess what!! They put a key in the bundle now!! Wow!! What a waste of money. @KabamDork can we get a key sent to use for those who bought the bundles or something? This is BS
I have a feeling kabam are purposefully ignoring this and won't do anything about this and they'll wait until the event ends so they will have an excuse for scamming us. "Event already ended we can't give out keys"
I've tried to create a new discussion on my account for the past 3 hrs and I've tried over 5 times but kabam has blocked me from doing it and it has ALL been sent to pending so I'll just say this here instead since the mods do not want me to freely speak.
I came into this banquet with one goal in mind. MEDUSA. I convinced myself the only thing I was after was Medusa and if I got her, everything else would be a bonus I was ready to excuse the UTTERLY RIDICULOUS SBC crystals as long as I got a Medusa. I SPENT ALL MY UNITS. 3 box keys NO MEDUSA.
I was upset but it was okay, everything I got from the banquet milestones were pretty good and I started to see where kabam were coming from when they said the SBC'S TRASH REWARDS were useful for 7 STARS. EVEN IF THOSE MINISCULE T6 CC shards made LITERALLY NO DIFFERENCE. However, I wouldn't have been able to take up my champs without the ISO'S and gold gotten from those SBC'S so I thought they were somewhat valid even tho THE DROP RATES WERE UTTERLY WORTHLESS.
Today, I decided to just go for it. I was READY TO DROP $150 FOR MEDUSA as I had a cosmic gem, glorious gem and resources to instantly max her out. I was left with 3 champs so that equalled a max of $150 for medusa.
Obviously I wanted to get her on the first try as the first try would get me to the r3 realm event gem. I DID NOT WANT TO GO FURTHER BECAUSE IF I GOT THAT TITAN SELECTOR MY BLOOD WILL BOIL BECAUSE KABAM cannot be serious with that TRASH reward. HOW COULD THEY MAKE THAT THE MAX MILESTONE REWARD. NONE OF THOSE CHAMPS WILL BRING ANY VALUE to ANY ACCOUNT.
I bought the first banquet bundle, NO MEDUSA INSTEAD they REWARD ME WITH THE WORST PULL YOU COULD EVER RECEIVE FROM THAT CRYSTAL, A *SENTRY* . I said to myself, that's fine, I had a budget. I was going to try again.
COME TO FIND OUT, YOU CAN ONLY PURCHASE THAT BUNDLE ONCE!!! And if I wanted to try again I had to drop $100 for an ODIN TO GAIN 1 JUST 1 KEY which could STILL NOT AWARD ME THE CHAMPION I WAS AIMING FOR.
THIS IS JUST CRAZY, WHY COULDN'T THEY MAKE THE CAP FOR THE VALIANT BUNDLE 3 KNOWING DAMN WELL THAT WAS ALL IT WOULD TAKE TO MAX OUT THE CHARACTERS. INSTEAD THEY CHOOSE TO MAKE IT DOUBLE THE DAMN PRICE.
HAD I KNOWN THAT I HAD TO SPEND $100 IF I DIDN'T GET MEDUSA ON THE FIRST TRY, I WOULD'VE COMPLETELY BACKED OUT FROM THIS IDEA.
I JUST LOST $50 AND I GOT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OF VALUE OUT OF IT.
"why didn't kabam make the limit 3"? I'll TELL YOU WHY BECAUSE THEY'RE SIMPLY GREEDY AND SELFISH. YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CARE ABOUT YOUR PLAYER BASES SATISFACTION AS LONG AS YOU KNOW THEY'LL BUY WHATEVER YOU GIVE THEM.
There is also no reason why BUNDLES or DEALS for champions should even COST THIS MUCH because this is literally HOW MUCH YOU SPEND TO BUY A PS5 GAME IN FULL. But for some reason they've succeeded in RAISING the PRICES FOR THESE DEALS and we the players just Go along with it. That's what keeps the game running.
HAD YOU ACTUALLY HAD A BIT OF COMPASSION AND WEREN'T SO DISCONNECTED FROM THE AVERAGE PLAYER, YOU WOULD'VE PUT THAT VALIANT BUNDLE LIMIT AT 3 INSTEAD OF 1. You choose to make it twice as expensive SIMPLY because you just can.
It took me 5 years to realize what your players say about you because I have always looked up to and trusted this company even in their controversial decisions. Now I realize you're nothing short of greedy. And this doesn't matter to you because I am just 1 PLAYER.
BUT I SWEAR, AFTER THE EVENTS THAT TRANSPIRED TODAY, I WILL NEVER SPEND ANOTHER CENT ON THIS GAME. Have the day you deserve.

We're all going F2P together after what kabam did to us mentally lmaooo. Kabam not giving us a banquet key after adding a key to the new banquet bundle was the melting point.
@NONYABIZZ you could have just said "I didn't read and now I'm gonna whine about it" without typing the whole novel. That's a you issue for not reading, not a kabam issue, my dude. 🤣

I guess it's easier to blame Kabam than himself for his lack of reading and comprehension skills....

Also yeah adding the webstore track thingy halfway is crazy people already spent a ton😭
Yup all of us who got it feel ripped off, sucks but the banquet event was already a fail..
And spending 3k units for 10… already rip off lol especially these rates and pulls
