No. They'll get what they're looking for.
If someone needs to play BGs 10 hours a day everyday, I have no issue with Kabam requiring them to pay extra for energy.
But for normal people with lives, this change is sufficient I think.
Now what I would really love as far as energy and QOL is to get rid of restrictions on AW and AQ. Everyone completes their paths and no one uses units to buy refills, all the energy requirements do in those modes is make people want to quit alliance because of the need to log in multiple times a day instead of being able to just get it done in one sesssion.
The community just showed we have a voice to change unfair aspects of the game. We should absolutely ask for more. Paywalled champs that were free as 3, 4, 5, 6 stars for 10 years is unacceptable (I'm actually fine with dark phoenix because she was designed and introduced as a paywalled champ).
I'm celebrating this as the win it is, instead of continuing to dogpile on kabam, but there is still more to be done to change the direction the game has headed the past year. Call me entitled if you want.
I think this was the right move. If you own a Casino, you want easy access to it, you want cheap low cost alcohol and food, you want to provide every comfort so public doesn't need to leave…ever. They are not forced to play and spend money, but the longer they stay roaming and watching the bigger the chances they are they start spending.
This game is a bit like that, so putting barriers for people to stay in it, it was a bad business decision in my opinion.
Sounds like a standard negotiating tactic to me. Present something horrific as your decided end point. Then backtrack to a position you expected to reach that’s still more advantageous to you than the previous one, but it makes it look like you’ve listened and given big concessions.
I thank @Seatin as much as anyone for this.
This is Kabam, not Art of the Deal.
You're giving them way too much credit for all the flip-flopping, and also being delusional about the playerbase being a part of any "negotations" when it's just a matter of complaints followed by handouts.
