Kabam needs to stop acting like they’re “hearing our feedback” and stop making terrible changes

I mean this game has been out for a decade, how could we be constantly fumbling this much so often? Obviously these energy changes are awful, and the new event and side quests were marketed for months for being an improvement over the originals, but they still suck. Literally the only solo content worth doing now is main acts, and even then the rewards for the majority of those are still so dated it’s ridiculous.

They’ll say ‘we hear your feedback,’ but - the only feedback that actually makes them move is revenue loss. No forum post, no survey, no wall of text hits harder than numbers dropping on their end. That’s the only feedback they truly value.

Hearing is one thing, actually doing something about it is another. Look at World of Warcraft who didn't do anything for years. A lot of companies don't change to help their players and it hurts them in the long run. Pride is a dangerous thing.

How are they going to compliment our passion and dedication otherwise?

I'd almost argue that Kabam is following a WoW model. I loved WoW 15+ years ago, but as the game continued to progress it became less challenging, gave more shortcuts to new players, lost its sense of community by ineffectively merging servers, and added a bunch of stuff that you could purchase.

Kabam doesn't know how to make a game challenging without making it frustrating, they give endless shortcuts to new players to the point where those players don't actually have to run progressing content, the sense of community is being lost as they've given up and let the forum provider have their way (plus many players opting to no longer do alliance content), and of course every month is a sale for the whales to get ahead.

Biggest glaring difference though - WoW was always pay-to-play, but never pay-to-win, so when they added cosmetics, mounts, pets, etc., that players could buy, it was just for fun. The options to buy things aren't frustrating because they don't put you behind if you pass. You get out of the game what you put in.

Kabam, however, is the opposite. Kabam has always had a pay-to-win aspect, but it has always been palatable and under control. Just in the last 6-8 months we have seen the gap between paying players and poorsies explode to insurmountable heights. Players that don't want to or can't pay can no longer make up the gap by putting more time into the game, and there's no real hope of a FTP player that hit Valiant today being where a whale is now, but a year from now. They won't get close, and by then the gap will be even worse. And to add to that, Kabam is now actively moving towards a pay-to-play model by limiting resources that allow players to play as much as they want whenever they are able.

WoW shot itself in the foot by being too friendly to kids, but paying to play the game was never the issue because everyone paid the same to access the same. This game is being far too hostile towards anyone that doesn't want to, isn't willing to, or more importantly isn't able to spend and as it moves closer and closer toward PTP it takes the spending gap that already exists and begins to ask the players "how would you like to pay to play a game you have no hope of ever being competitive in?"

Kabam is on a bad path and they just don't seem to care. Mr. Krabbs must be running the show these days.

I agree with all this. Honestly I have to wonder whats going on at KabamHQ rn. So many terrible or misguided decisions in such a short time.

They are too busy planning the live summoner fest, its like their own Woodstock.

Would be funny to see a picket line at their entrance on the day of the event

I mean Blizzard just needs to snap their fingers, make Warcraft-4, announce that WoW disaster happened in different timeline altogether,

Pick-up the storyline of warcraft-3, make Arthas actually rule, illidan redemption against demons for destroying the nightelves for generations and such, archimonde wasn't killed at great tree he was just vanished from mortal world, somehow Sargas returned 😭

In an instant Blizzard is back and hot,

Kabam? 🤣🙏

Pack it up bro, no redemption arc,

Unless MCoC-2 😳😳

At the rate they're going, the game will be lucky to make it to 2027, never mind 2030
