How do you stop including Valiant selectors?

Dear Kabam,

Hi, it’s me, the standard valiant player. You seem to have forgotten my personal progression level in selector rewards lately.

First, you came out with monthly deals based on progression, but you forgot me. I thought, “Okay, but I’ll see it soon, nope that still hasn’t happened.

Now, you come out with weekly super event, but again, I’ve been combined with Paragon players.

I understand that valiant progression has been around for nearly 2 years. However, I would think that would make it more likely to have a degree of separation than to be continuously shafted for my hard work.

At 11 7R4s, how am I only allowed the same rewards as someone with 3x 6r4s, maybe you just forgot about that extra star.

I’m just saying it would be nice to have my own level of rewards that I have worked for instead of the progress I achieved what feels like a lifetime ago.

How you can forget the progression level that likely contributed the majority of your revenue is quite surprising.

We will ignore the fact that you should’ve already introduced a progression beyond valiant… that’s for another day.

I Agree with this so much. Rarely is Valiant granted rewards befitting our station.

I remember some words that sounded like "people should celebrate others getting more stuff", except they left out the part where the getting stuff was set with their bar and not the one people deserved.
Some fancy words or terms have been used too, like "player retention" which only means shortening the gaps and not make them feel left behind...which probably also has something to do with the "all or nothing" monetization we are seeing. You whale you get what you want, high casual spending not so much.
The game "economy" is worse than a 3rd world country's economy after defaulting to the IMF...

I stopped calling endgame players, Valiant a very very long time ago. It doesnt make any sense.

New progression will come and it's going to be p2w for first 2 months. And most of us peasants will be grouped with whineliants. Smh

Valiant was promised as exclusive and we would want to obtain.

The only benefits have been Monetary Deals (sometimes - remember the Monthly Deal you could get 2x but it stopped at TB and now is just gone LOL) and to have the extra point/objective when the Pain events were happening; though that was only to replace what TB did previously.

Kabam doesn't care to help Valiant players unless it's to give them more money. I wish it wasn't true, but look at the data and you can see it's true.

Surprised Kabam hasn't come out with a VIP mechanic yet.

It s funny how Kabam is all "we try to push players to progress for better rewards" and they actually do the exact opposite.

This should get pretty entertaining. Looking forward to karatemikes spin. Can we group all of the threads regarding the garbage alliance event together so its easier to enjoy?

They keep saying rewards are “progression based,” but all they really do is tweak the numbers just enough to look different between Paragon and Valiant — without actually giving you what you deserve. It’s like Kabam’s way of pretending to reward progress while handing out the same old scraps. Meanwhile, hard work gets boiled down to a tiny gap in rewards. Now, that’s too much to ask. Just another way to keep players stuck grinding for crumbs.

There was major drama when they announced Paragon, making that 10k unit deal essential and screwing it up.

They launched Valiant, and forced whales to buy cyber deals + 1 necro run.
For f2p it was behind 100% necro, which was still not a easy task but far better than Paragon launch.

Can't wait for next progression and see what fun controversy comes with it.
It's been 2.5 Years. It's time.

This is still a question I’d like Kabam to answer.

There really should be a valiant option. There’s probably 50K valiants in game on a conservative estimate. To continually get lumped in with paragon is really frustrating for the effort that’s involved to get here.

And it really should be 5% of a T7 for the top selector for a weekly event… considering that a week of solo collection is 4.4% of a T7.

"We have noticed some handful of summoners asking for Valaint exclusive rewards, we as team have collective agreement that there are Valaint rewards to purchase with units and money deals,
Also additional note that top war Alliances have no problem getting these rewards, so you guys are over complaining."
