Will this mess up Black Friday sales?

After the last few weeks have been rather disappointing and frustrating, and now the announcement comes that there won't be any difficulty adjustments for Elder until early next year, I wonder how much this will affect sales, especially the upcoming Black Friday.

I'm not having much fun with the current changes anymore.

As someone who invests around $3-4k in the game annually, I don't really feel motivated to spend any more money this time.

I'm certainly not the only one who feels this way.

What do you think?

One of two things will happen - Kabam will have the worst Cyber Week sale in the history of the game as a result of both sale fatigue and the game's performance over the last year, or the offers will be so good that people will become blind to what Kabam has been doing and feel compelled to spend more than they'd be willing to admit.

so w. you bro, I've dropped grands this year. Spider Woman was the straw that broke it. Not because of the nerf but because of the lies and deceit. I'm done spending. I probably would have dropped several more thousand this year between cyber & banquet ,, but

NOPE

Kabam just lost my revenue

They’ll probably sell more than they did last year anyway. Too many people held out for the overhyped “best banquet event yet” and now they know better.

I used to buy July 4 and Cyber weekend sales, but stopped a couple of years ago when Kabam’s attitude towards its customers started to change for the worse. Obviously, that has not improved and September has set a new low in that regard. Not sure what they can do at this point to convince me that I can trust them with my money.

This SW “balance” is just another in a long line of examples that no money you spend on this game can be considered an investment, because Kabam can, and often does, destroy the value of your “investment” with post-sale “balances.”

It wouldn't surprise me. The FOMO is real considering how much they continue to build a wedge between FTP/moderate spenders and the big guys. Missing a sale now puts you multiple R4s behind the competition, and given that it's cyber week it will probably be several R4s.

Tomorrow's comp package will likely also have an impact in either direction. Unfortunately them saying it's a good package means nothing, but if they're saying that in the sense that they feel like they are giving more than they should, then that may also win some players over before the same. Wouldn't be surprised if that was part of their comp calculations

Exactly. Kabam saying the comp package is good just means it’s more than the standard 3 revives and energy refills lol

I would traditionally spend a few hundred dollars, but the recent changes have put me into a spending freeze. I would consider spending on the game again, but the recent decisions and massive drop off in interesting content have me thinking that will not likely happen any time soon, if ever

Here's the thing...I don't care. This past year (including last year's sales) have convinced me that they're not worth purchasing and Kabam absolutely has not earned my money.
