A not so appreciation post of new SQ event

I think there is limit of monitizing the game

As if monitizing Sales,exclusive champs ,Bg,wars,nightmare raids this year wasn't enough someone in kabam comesup with the idea why not earn money with a monthly SQ also ?

I don't have any problem with rank rewards of this new SQ
( Whales gonna whaling for high evolutionary anyway )
My friend who is only moderate spender already reached 100k in just 2 days which make me feel how much whales or ultra whale gonna spend to score for top300

But the real complain Abt this event for me is putting recruitment rewards also behind 50% playerbase weekly
Can I ask why ?

Haven't we playing Sq from years which sq required us to spend 20-50 energy refills just to get mid rewards from milestones by putting us in top50% weekly ?

Why was it so hard for u guys to put the recruitment milestone rewards in the same clash event rewards just to know that where we need to stop using our energy
Or
Do u guys think that a 1to2 gem ,1k awake shards & 10k titan shards and some sigs are so game breaking and require playerbase to spend 50 energy refills atleast

It's understandable that u guys putted attractive rewards high evolutionary in rank so that u guys can earn money but putting recruitment milestone rewards in weekly 50% is a BIG GREEDY L MOVE in the face of ftp playerbase

SO PLS STOP PRETENDING LIKE U GUYS MADE A NEW EVENT FOR FUN AND CHANGED SOMETHING

TELL US TRUTH THAT U GUYS MADE THIS EVENT TO GET AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE IN THE FORM OF REFILLS FROM THE PLAYERBASE BY PUTTING EVEN MID REWARDS BEHIND 50% WEEKLY RANK PAYWALLS

LITERALLY THUMBS UP FOR SALES TEAM OF KABAM WHO CAN COMES UP WITH AN IDEA TO MAKE ANY EVENT PAY TO WIN AND STILL CAN PRETEND HEY WE ARE WORKING HARD FOR U GUYS IN BRINGING NEW EVENTS

The main side quest rewards come from reaching 10k points. The leaderboard is only for whales as always. I'm also pretty sure that top 50% will not be as crazy as you think, so many players don't even know what they are doing or have already dropped the mode with only 10-20k points.

Buttehrs

Majority of players will stop after they get the last milestone. Shouldn't be too hard to get top 50% each week with just a small amount of extra effort.

But why is the need to put those milestone rewards behind rank paywalls

Even if u saying the cutoff will not be high there is no surity and u also know that

I asked non spenders even they putting above 20k,30k why is need by kabam to give mid milestone rewards behind rank paywalls ?

Buttehrs

Because they are simply rewards for those that go the extra mile and do more than the minimum.

BringPopcorn

Test your FOMO, i decided I rather use my energy to farm units in lower EQ

MrSanguini

Because those are bonus rewards outside of the usual side quest rewards. All the mysterium milestones are the usual side quest rewards we get every month. Everything in the recruitment event is extra, both the ranked and milestone rewards.

When have you ever seen a monthly side quest with 20 7 star sig stones, awakening gem shards, and nexus exalted crystals as a milestone? Yeah, me neither. Those rewards are simply a bonus.

You just know someone is literally losing sleep over this... I'd say "stay hydrated" but the truly obsessed aren't going to read the forums anytime soon.

Why you fear competition?

Demonzfyre

How is Kabam getting money from this event?

Gamer

Stop calling this pay whale it not.

Gamer

The energy i assume

RoyalRose1510

We did previously lots of Sq

U will get it after u know the cutoff of top200

RoyalRose1510

This is not paywhale event ?
U dumb or what don't u seen how many refills u gonna require to be in top200 & all those refills will not come for free to u as compensation

Bruh I am already started seeing scores of 300k in first 3_4 days of players and yet u saying this is not paywall event ?

Wait until event finished and top200 cutoff of 1million pts u will see that how is this money grabbing event from kabam

RoyalRose1510

There is no problem in competition

But competition for 20sigs,1k awake,1to2 gem,10k like seriously we reached at this stage where we have to compete even for mid rewards every week ?

These rewards are availble in just finishing 15 saga zones or daily super event 10 days or even was free last month in war event

But now we have to compete for 1to2 gem and have to use refills just to compete with 50% playerbase every week

RoyalRose1510

Than why promoting it everywhere that SQ as an Update ? Haven't u played SQ before how many refills u required to complete them tell me 1 event
Yes those rewards are extra but tell me is it worth to spend 20 refills for those rewards ?

EIYHER STOP PRETENDING THAT WE UPDATE SQ FOR PLAYERBASE AND START SPEAK TRUTH THAT IT REQUIRE TO BURN UP EVERY REFILL U GOT

THE SQ IS ONLY A UPDATE FOR KABAM SALES AND THEIR BANK BALANCE WHICH U WILL SEE INCREASE A LOT AFTER EVENT FINISHES

THE IDEA OF MAKING THIS DESIGN OF SQ HAS ONLY ONE INTENTION IS TO GET AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE FROM WHALES BY PUTTING RANK REWARDS AND SO CALLED COMPETITION

EVEN THE RANK REWARDS WASN'T ENOUGH FROM KABAM THEIR TEAM DECIDED WHY NOT PUT MILESTONE REWARDS ALSO BEHIND 50% WEEKLY RANK SO THAT NO PLAYER HAVE IDEA OF WHERE TO STOP AND WE CAN EVEN GET UNITS OR MONEY FROM EVEN MORE PLAYERS WHO MIGHT HAVE STOPPED AFTER GETTING THE MILESTONE

Literally better rewards are availble in 15zones of saga incursion & valiant gauntlet (which still require lower energy than This SQ )

Mysterium Store update is a scam nerfing down mysterium qty and still getting almost same mats from the store after update unless u think extra 150 7* shards is a big thing

RoyalRose1510

My only complain Abt this event is putting the recruitment milestone rewards also behind rank paywalls

Kabam simply could have putted the recruitment milestones in further pts in clash event milestone but they didn't bcuz they know that most players would have stopped there
& If players will be stopped there will be less competition which again resulting them to earn less money

i would take it extra 20 milestone pts even those require me to use 10_20 refills but there atleast should be clearity that after using 10 refills I will get 1to2 gem instead of rank paywalls

But yeah putting in milestones this would result in kabam being at loss of money and why would they do that ?

Demonzfyre

No. I want you to explain it to me. How is this a whale event?

Demonzfyre

Do you know what a paywall is? Because it really seems like you found a new word and just want to use it to use it. The sigil has paywalled items because you have to pay to use it. There's nothing in this new event that requires you to pay to get it. You can buy refills for energy with units. Units are free in this game and you can get tons with arena.

So many of these people have tons and tons of refills in stash because all the content is done. Before this event started, I had 36 full refills in overflow. I've been selling expiring refills for years. I don't remember the last time I had less than 20 full refills in my stash.

Kabam doesn't earn money, their parent company Netmarble does. This isn't a paywalled event. This isn't a money grab. You're just upset that you don't have the time or the resources to compete with someone who has those things.

We're already getting more rewards per week from this side quest. We're getting 7500 7 star shards per week along with tier 7 frags, valient shards, t6cc frags, etc. Obviously you're going to have to use more energy to reach the 10k points to unlock all of this, but its worth the bonus rewards. The milestones are not behind a paywall, you get 1 energy for free with time and have a week to do this. You can also get energy refills for free for quests like the weekly alliance summoner advancement.

Yea the rank rewards require a lot more effort to unlock, but isnt that how a competition works? The only true 'whaling' is people who spend money/units to go over and above on earning points, but thats what it's like for every ranked mode in this game.

This event is very free to play - the only 'pay to win' is ranked which it has always been. If this event was truly pay walled, they would have made a new form of energy that can only be refilled through money/units.

Buttehrs

How is it not? To get the top ranks, you'll need to spend units on energy refills. Guess who will be able to get the most? Whales. But, it makes sense considering the new top prestige champ in game is the grand prize at the end.

Demonzfyre

Whales have tons of units already. Arena grinders have tons of units already. We just had a spending event where the deals were built into unit packages and anyone who spent, got units. I can't fathom a single person who already has units and would be considered a whale, spending for this event.

Gamer

don’t forget the red guardian.

Voidnull

You are forgetting titan shard, t4 alpha,which we were getting

Will3808

It’s really hard to take your complain seriously if you’re going to disrespect the people who respond and yell. Yes, the top 10ish% of people will have used lots of units for energy refills. The vast majority of the player base won’t have though. Judging off of the statistics from the last few realm events, around half of players will login, do the side quest till 10k points, and ignore it till next week. Everything past that is extra and truthfully doesn’t give that meaningful of rewards unless you’re in the top 10%. So either you spend money to get the high evolutionary or you don’t and you get good rewards for a side quest. You can’t expect for kabam to be giving out a new 7* that’s supposed to be good for minimal effort. That’s how it’s always been, and that’s how it will stay. At least we get the other nice rewards along the way.

Buttehrs

And you think whales don't already know people have units stashed already? If it was any other champ besides high evolutionary, then there wouldn't really be a discussion about all this. But since he's the new top prestige champ, well, you know how it goes.

Sean0333

Yea exactly there's even more rewards in here than a regular side quest - if someone's complaining about spending more energy to get all the rewards, then just dont go for all the rewards
