Essentia, my 2 cents
Hi! I had to make an account just to complain about this new Essentia system.
First things first. The rewards suck for it being completely brand new. T7b, 7* sigs, and t4a isn't too bad, but that's 3 out of the entire store.
Here's the thing I want to complain about entirely though. The fact Kabam made raids a P2W event. Let me get this straight.
1. You can either spend units to get raid tickets
2. You can spend Essentia to get raid tickets.
It costs 12600 essentia to get 180 raid tickets. Buying all the essentia with the currency conversion gets you exactly 3230 essentia. Considering you can get 3230 once a week because of the weekly cooldown, that's about 12920 monthly.
If you put it together, 12600 of the 12920 Essentia is going to be used for raids tickets, assuming you have none. You're telling me you only have 320 essentia A MONTH to spend on the rest of the store? Really? How on EARTH do you manage to make raids P2W? You either spend a fat bit of money on raids tickets, you spend all your resources on Essentia to be able to participate in raids, or you don't do raids at all.
And to top it all off, Kabam made this change a week before raids start, now we're stuck with almost every alliance not being able to participate.
Way to go!
