Exclusive offers for whales ?!?!

I just came back from a recent video of Lagacy showing exclusive or hidden 1000$ units bundle in the store and more ridiculously low units price offer of 10 units for t6b and t3a. I don’t question the offers but why are they hidden to us more common players and why exclusively to huge whales.
Isn’t it unfair to offer especially catalysts at such low prices and reinforce the p2w gap between summoners?

    Exactly so what is it then…? I didn’t spend enough in their eyes so I’m not worthy to get that offer? Just a “little” more out of my wallet as you so graciously put it behind a deal they happened to not advertise no matter how close I could’ve been. Just try to break down the thought process behind it you apparently understand genuinely curious, cause at 12k I too could be dealing with item overflow
    Yes

    Don’t know about you but that offer would be helpful to me in doing some rank ups faster. The only problem I have with it triggering that high makes it seem like some who spent like 12k’s money isn’t worth as much as someone who spent that 18k
    For sure it's Unlucky for you.
    Cutoffs have to start somewhere, it was 1 Million points for this.

    How many people scored 1M+?
    I'm just curious.
    30? 60?

    That offers shows it doesn't have T6basic & T3alpha shortage - while whales get that offer

    Other also deserve that be it a higher price 🤷🤷 make it 30(super daily event price) that's 300% higher than the whales get (which is 10 units) 🤷🤷

    Because mega spenders have a ton of t6cc sitting in their overflow due to the money they spent, and no way to use it without basics to go along with them.

    Why does everybody feel so bloody entitled to everything?

    Spend $20k on the game next banquet, I'm sure you'll get a similar offer so that everything in your overflow doesn't expire to.
    Because 2 factors matter for a game . How many people spend & how many active players 90% players base don't spend much 🤷 & t6b -t3a droprates were bad

    Those people can endlessly just open Odin after Odins…

    How about us in the middle that spend but nothing to crazy, I spend within means and was able to get myself got into 1% but didn’t even pull anything worthwhile, majority a lot through the website offers.

    There was only really 1 good offer the 10 sbc + key but the rest of $50 offers don’t even compare to it.

    Yall even had a $1,000 odin offer

    It would of been nice after 50k, or even 100k+ points there was reward for scoring that much or offers something to compensate scoring that much of a score

    Vs than just catering to the mega whales..

    First thing that comes to mind when I read this defense: Stockholm Syndrome.

    Second thing: I think you are thoughtful, and I also think you try to be reasonable in your approach. Offering special dispensation to players who wind up with so many cats they cannot use them—presumably all adults, who have the capacity to understand the terms and conditions of the game—is understandable and defensible from a profitability perspective. I’ve played the game for a decade, and I’ve heard plenty of pieties about balance and sanctity. Ultimately, I believe money spent overrides all of that, and it’s fair to expect that to be the explicit subtext to any and all pieties expressed.

    I think you understand that, whether you admit it or not.

    Money itself is the balancing factor. Aside from the gross inequities that life has, like starving people and families below the poverty line, money is an inherent balancing factor. That has many imbalances within the overall, but it also means that not everyone has enough money to be dangerous. Let's be honest. There are some people I'm glad don't have an infinite disposable income.
    In any case, I have a tendency to wax philosophical. The main point I'm making is the game has some semblance of balance BECAUSE not everyone has that much money to spend on the game. Some do, and they can advance their Accounts accordingly. The number of people who are spending tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars on the game is sparce in comparison to the overall.
    Balance doesn't mean equal distribution.

    Hello. I'm working on a lengthy Banquet post-mortem for all of you, but I'm just going to go ahead and try to head this one off at the pass now.

    The reason the Banquet crystal was unbalanced was 100% on me. Our Live Ops team produced a perfectly balanced tuning for the crystal in which this wouldn't have been a problem. In reviewing it, I counted all T6B/T3A drops as filler, and in an effort to reduce the amount of filler I moved some of those drops to other resources. For most players this wasn't a problem. I personally put up around 100,000 points and finished ~1500th, and for me the imbalance wasn't perceptible.

    However in monitoring the event over the break, we realized players at the top were going to put up more points than we expected, and for them it was going to become a real problem. So we did something quick and dirty to help them correct the imbalance. If I could go back in time to before the event I would have thought of something else, but I'm pretty sure players wouldn't have liked the Banquet event more if it had included more T6B/T3A in the crystals.

    I personally don't see this as a fairness problem, as I can tell you the difference between my account and these accounts has nothing to do with T6B/T3A. And I don't see it as these players getting to buy T6B/T3A for 10 Units, I see them as getting to buy T6B/T3A for 750,000 Units + 10 Units, which is what somebody had to spend to unlock this offer.

    The thing is just tell us the grand banguet would be god with tier 6 stuff but basically now you telling us we wouldn’t like it what that’s none sense my feedbacks was especially told if the drop wasn’t one 10 percent it wouldn’t had ben bar but you did not only get f2p a slap one the nails but your just made me realize that while whale is great for the game never forgot this who plays who doesn’t hav the money and don’t forget this who’s drop 400 dollars ect it literally just said sorry we mes the banguet up

    Want a sum up?
    The trash crystals had too much T6CC, and now the whales are short on T6B and T3A to do R2 and R3 rank ups... Oh no...
    Yes the crystal was the most trash i would had love if there had removed the 10 percent drop and made it half but kabam crashed just told me we wouldn’t had like it more I not to sure if i agree with that’s
