Kabam Out of touch or simply ignorant?


I am honestly annoyed seeing this every month. I don’t think how valuable they think a 6 star awakening gem is now but the days of 6 star items being a coveted reward is behind us. The focus has shifted towards 7 stars even for those below Valiant and Paragon, 7 star rank 3 and 4 are becoming the new meta but the reward is seemingly stuck on a time capusle. I have no complaints with the rewards below the final milestone but instead of having something useful as the top milestone they just seem to copy-paste the same thing every other month. This is even worse than a 6 star crystal cause at least that gives some 7 star shards. Don’t even feel like getting the top milestone cause it’s just another nothing burger to throw in my pile of nothing burgers.

The problem is that Kabam has gone from overly complicating side quests to overly simplifying it. The SQ instructions were becoming a thesis and we complained so they simplified it to these 3 opponents plus boss format. Then they decided that easier to understand means easier rewards. Now we get mysterium and 6* AG everytime!
Why not provide more complicated defender + node combos or limit the roster like the annual champ list series but give more diverse rewards for each path. I wont even mind a unique reward per path plus mysterium at completion and no top reward. So many options that will not be excessive - 5k 7* shards, t2 primordial dust, 6* relic shards, t6cc fragments, t4a fragments, etc.
Who just became paragon or Valiant ?? Who doesn't have 6* AG to aweken there champs ??
Or u just expect game yo resolve around top players ?
But…. We’re all still using 6-stars here and there, the 7-star ranks going up is progress enough.
pretty much soon the Paragon Gauntlet will be the Valiant Gauntlet and 7-star dupe gems will be likely follow.
7-stars have got at least 2 more years of viability.
Besides that, people pay quite a lot for additional 7-star loot, handing it all out for free or jumping straight to 8-stars a month later would be like ripping them off!
You can trade it for a 7* sig stone.
Problem solved! 😎
In my view they are both out of touch AND ignorant. Items in the game economy have always been widely over valued (sig stones I'm looking at you too)
The weird pacing of Valiant made the game really awkward in the past year. No Valiant EQ, and most of the times not even a Valiant SQ means that many players don't even bother with EQ and SQ anymore, and to compensate for that Kabam has pushed out a lot of Endgame Content like Crucible and Epoch which is targeted towards the high-end Valiant players. Thus no matter what piece of content Kabam announces, there is always a huge amount of Valiant players who either don't think it's worth to do if it's something like a new SQ, or a different group of Valiant players who think the new content is way too hard if it's something like Epoch.
The elegant solution would have been a Valiant EQ and SQ many months ago with rewards that allow Valiant players to close the gap faster, while also launching a new title in the next few months for those endgame players.
