When my Gold hits zero, I will....

The solutions the clueless are giving all have significant draw backs.
If you conserve gold by not ranking up, you hurt your SA score.
If you drop out of your alliance and go to a Map 3, you hurt your progression
If you grind the arena and hit all of the milestones for a month, you will only get 3M in gold. It cost 3.2M to rank up two 5* champs, forget the other star levels and donations.
They are suggesting everything except that Kabam should make some adjustments to gold allocation rates. Which is all most players are asking for, that’s it.
It isn’t even about lack of avenue to acquire gold, it’s a combination of the current gold quantum and rank up requirements that’s choking players resource.
Did I grind? Sure I did. 45k PVP per annum past 3 years.
Did I cash in my BC on regular basis? Duh...
Did I sell unused materials or expiring ISO? E.v.e.r.y.t.i.m.e.
Did I buy gold crystals occasionally with glory? I really do not wish to end up hanging on life support.
Did I run gold realm when it’s available? Look forward to it all the time
Did I open crystal shards regularly for additional gold? Sure did.
Did I rank up selectively? Sure I did.. I can count with my ten fingers how many 5* rank ups I did in an entire year. I can even count with my nuts how many 4* I did in the same period. Even to R3.
Did I play less resource demanding AQ? Sure I did. AQ5 is free (no)?
Did I play AW actively? Wait... you mean they give you a lot of gold? Millions maybe, no? Hundreds of thousand, perhaps? Still no? (I rest my case)
I have 31M gold 12 months ago, and yet I still end up with 18M as yet yesterday. Maybe (just maybe) I’ve been a poor resource manager.
And guess what? I’m more wary about shortage of ISO in the nearest future. At least I can farm gold. ISO? Pfft....(roll eyes)
I think it’s time I start opening my 7k+ stashed up quest crystal and use those iso lvl1s to lvl up maybe 2 lvls out of 25 of my newly acquired 6 Star.
Wait... lvl up needs gold.. fml....
THis is the best advice I've ever seen on the boards.
kabam should increase gold you can earn.
-Give 50 more gold in erena for every fight won.
-Give more gold each time at end of won match
-Lower cost of matchup in arena.
just a few options to consider
I have the roster to compete in any arena my friend. I already mentioned above. If 2 6 stars, 40 5 stars and 80 4 star is not a good roster what is it???
Wrong. I have been focusing on 5 stars for more than a year. I rank 2 per month to rank 3. That is why I have 20 at rank 3 or above. 4 4/55. 1 5/65. And 2 6 stars fully leveled to the first 25 levels ready for rank 2
The moderators will take care of it, flag and move on instead of trying to argue it.
It will be nice to have the gold realm weekly buy it is not necessary. Stop being greedy and manage your resoucrs better.
People whinning because they cannot rank up champs as soon as they get them? How is this even relevant. Cry me a river.
Work towards your goals slowly like everyone else or grind arena
Stop whinning!!!!!!
OP has 100%ed Lab and Act 5. He is end-game. You don't know why he is running out because you have no idea how end-game works.
I'm in a top 0.5% alliance and many alliance mates are feeling the gold shortage.
Gold shortage is real, so please stop shoving your opinions and suggestions down everyone's throats until you experience what it's like in end-game.
I'm hoping you start realizing why you're wrong and why not just anybody can lecture about anything and everything in this game.
End-Game means people get lazy to grind arena, or they feel entitled to rank every 5* in a single day. Period.
If you had as many 5* and 6* as the closer to the top players in the game who don’t spend tons, then you’d understand. Although, it’s not even just that. I’m not saying it’s impossible for someone not in that position to understand, you just choose not to. You could empathise and realise that as people get further in the game you need more gold. That’s not an opinion, it’s a fact. It’s half a million gold to press rank up for a 5* rank 5.
I literally couldn’t care less that someone doesn’t take the game as seriously as me, that is entirely your choice. The fact is, and what baffles me, is that you consistently deny that there is an issue when there clearly is. I’m not trying to say you’re wrong because you don’t have as an advanced roster as others. Im saying you’re wrong because you are blindly ignorant about the problem, for no reason other than to bait people into “account shaming” you.
Gold shortage is a narraritive put forth by a few who want to acquire everything in game with the least ammount of time invested.
Grinding 25m points across all arenas every week is barely enough to keep afloat if at all.
The game has progressed to 5 and 6 stars yet we're in a reward system that was designed for 3's and 4's.
If you don't know why end gamers rank up every 5* they have, then you don't understand end-game period.
The gold shortage is real. You can't increase the rent, increase responsibility, and have wages stagnate. It doesn't work like that.
It does, look at the world going round and round!!
Unless you are are one of the billionaires, get ready for the real struggle.
Also, 25m points mean nothing, can you please break down your inflow and outflow? That would help narrow down the problem.
The gold shortage is false, you cannot willingly move into a higher rent district and start shopping at more expensive retailers while thinking you can maintain that lifestyle with the same “wages” you had in the past. Get a better paying “job” ornwork harder at the one you have.
I have 4 paths done in Labrynth of legends. Game end player lmao. The gold moaning is ridiculous at this point.
P.S. I hate arena, partly because I don't have time to grind 3 hours a day, but mostly because it's a bore. I realize this will spawn tons of "you want the rewards without the effort" comments, but I look at it as the one aspect of the game that's always there that I don't particularly enjoy is now a must for progression.
Thanks.
Since the game has shifted from 4s/5s to 5s/6s, the overall costs have gone up significantly for end game players while the resources needed have stayed the same. It's called inflation.
End-gamers don't decide the 5* and 6* meta, Kabam does.
"Work harder!" isn't real advice if end-gamers are trending towards gold bankruptcy.
If your advice is to grind 10 hours a day or move to a map 3 alliance to maintain gold levels then that tells us there's a gold shortage.
the problem with lot of people is they think whatever works for them works for others too.
A lot of this can be alleviated by adjusting the gold reward amounts for EQs. Currently, Master and Uncollected award much less gold than much easier fights in Act 4, and there is not a good reason for that. Gold rewards for Alliance/Solo events also need to increase to keep up with the game's 'inflation' of rank-up materials. The rare mats should be the bottlenecks, not the most basic resource.
Selling ISO should be extra gold, but not something expected just to maintain pace.
A monthly Gold Realm would be nice, but I think a correction of rewards to match speed of the game would go a long ways in helping.
I don't think it's reasonable to expect to be able to rank a new 5* straight to 3 or 4 as soon as you get them, but the reason you can't do that should be cats, not gold, especially since it's the cats that are the reward focus for many parts of the Game (obviously not all).
Yup and they should play accordingly rather than moan about being “victims of the systems”
Ok play smarter then it wasnt the only option but the easiest to implement if you just moved into more expensive housing and started shopping at more expensive retailers.
Well if you cant afford to pay the rent and cannot put in the effort to do so its best to downgrade, just sayin as if you dont you go bakrupt...
If end game players are told to move down to a 200k summoner level alliance to make ends meet, that tells us there are big issues with inflation and things are out of balance.
And if the best advice is to play map 3 or stop spending altogether, there's something seriously wrong with the game. If progression suddenly gets inverted then this is no longer a game.
We saw what happened last summer. Everyone was saving their 5* shards for 6 months for sparky because the 5* pool was trash. The meta at the time was, "don't open any crystal for the next 6 months". The game was broken then and it's still broken now.
They don't get it.
"Don't spend, don't rank up, don't do anything".
What kind of fun is this?
It's the same thing we saw last summer. Save your 5* shards for 6 months for sparky. It made sense, but it took the enjoyment out of the game.
"Don't rank up, don't anything" might save your gold, but it's no longer a game anymore.
