Serious Gold Problem Kabam..

If they are acquring more shards than ever do they also have greater access to iso8 they can sell? That is an increase in gold availability.
I just sold 7 days worth of iso8 from duping every 4* and lower plus general quest iso8, got 600k gold. If youre at the level of solely focusing on the high star levels it appears you make quite a bit toward that from just acquiring the previous star levels and still have other auxiliary sources of gold beyond that.
That's not off-topic at all. You just disagree. Which is fine. We don't have to agree.
I understand the concept of SAVING
You don't understand the concept of INFLATION
Unless you plan on spending the rest of your MCOC existence rolling around with 3* and 4*s, you will eventually have to start ranking up 5* and 6*s too, and THEY COST A LOT MORE relative to gold income.
I’m saying that 5* and 6* champions have become more available than ever to the majority of the playerbase. Kabam has scaled up the sources of shards and catalysts from sources like Act V, Uncollected quest, AW seasons, calendars, special events, etc. They have not scaled gold to the same extent, so many players are reaching the point where they are getting more champions than they can level-up, which does not feel ‘fun’ to be limited by gold. That’s the feedback I think most people are trying to give to Kabam here. While some are exaggerating the gold issues and problems they cause, from a design perspective it feels more rewarding to be limited on your catalysts to rank-up a champion than it does on gold - often looked at as a very common resource.
Maybe Kabam purposefully wants players to grind arena to level-up their new 5* and 6* champions, but now those players who perhaps did casual arena before are forced into this situation of grinding arena just to experience progression. Even those who do hardcore arena can be limited on gold based on how they play the game.
Yes, seeing as how I started yesterday, I can't fathom how much it costs. Based on Ranking my 1* Spooderman. I can haz Champs?
I do Rank them. I'm quite aware they cost more to Rank. They are supposed to.
There is no inflation. The cost hasn't changed because there are more of them, or because there are 6*s now. It's not going up because of Interest. The higher the Rarity, the more it will cost to Rank, and the more you will have to work towards to earn and save. Unless you believe they should cost less than Rarities below them, in which case you may not understand. Just because people have more of them doesn't mean their cost should be lowered, or the means to Rank them increased above the design.
Gold is by far the biggest resource problem in the game. I can no longer open crystals because they give me far more resources than I have the gold to use. I would have to sell them before they expire, which makes all of my grinding feel futile. Isn’t the point of the game to earn rewards and get stronger? Sure, we have to use them wisely, but the gold shortage gets us to the point of not using resources at all. It makes all the work feel not very worthwhile. It seems like a lot of people saying that the gold is fine aren’t advanced enough to have the more costly high tier champions. Gold was never a problem for me when I was lower tier because the costs to rank and level up were not nearly as expensive.
Specialty events (modok, BP, etc)are an additional gold source.
Gold scales up with shards by default, more shards is more gold over time.
It’s growing pains and that will pass for players as they acquire more heroes.
On arenas players with more 5s are likely playing less arena to hit their milestones/goals thus reducing thier take from arenas. Used to take them 50 fights to achieve thier goals when now it takes them 25 and they stop there instead of continuing on which reduces the ammount of auxiliary gold earned. Combine that with a huge reduction in arena cutoffs and players are taking in less as they are putting less time in all around.
Idk what you consider hardcore grinding but it is impossible to spend the gold from that.
The game has switched to a 5* and 6* meta at end-game so we have to compensate by ranking more of ours 5*s.
Uncollected monthly are all 6*s. You know what uncollected is, right? Have you done 5.2 yet? 5.1?
Next season of AQ will probably have all 6*s for map 6 or map 7 if they introduce that.
The game is evolving yet our rosters should remain stagnant because gold supply is low?
As the game evolves, our rosters have to evolve with it but were stuck with an outdated gold reward system.
What part of this is so hard to understand. Why do you understand some bits but are unable to make the right connections?
Honestly, sick of your nonsense. 4 pages of "don't rank up right away" First off, SIR. You aren't anyone to tell us who to rank up, or when to rank up. That's our choice. Secondly, why is gold even an issue? It's an important factor in this game. There are people who don't have all the time in the world to grind 6+ hours of arena daily. Just because you can do it, doesn't mean everyone can. People have jobs, I'm sure you don't. Gold should never be a problem, it should be READILY available. All we the community is asking for is maybe a weekly Sunday gold realm? That's not gonna break the game is it, or maybe increase the gold via EQ fights. We just need some form of increase. I recently ranked up Killmonger as a 6* to R2 and I'm done to 2k gold now. I'm not a big arena grinder, because I have school. I can only grind 5 hours, and that's in the night. So stop. Just because i KNOW that you aren't a very high end player, that's fine. But don't tell others what to do, we play this game for ourselves, not for you. We can rank up whoever we want to, whenever we want to. Gold should not be a problem. That's my rant.
P.S. - Mods, you keep deleting other people's post, which isn't fair at all. You've got 4 pages of arguing, see to that first. Thanks.
Why are you so against getting more gold dude? It's not gonna hurt anyone and it's still gonna benefit you. It's like every time someone comes up with an idea to fix aspects of the game you stay shooting them down for no reason.
I'm not against people asking for more Gold. When they start claiming there's a problem with the system and that the cost has changed because there are more Champs, that's not really accurate. They're not taking their own actions and spending habits into account. People are free to ask for what they like. If they're spending all their Gold and not taking time to generate and save more, then the problem isn't exactly with the system. There's a difference between a want and a need. Anytime that's mentioned, it's met with the argument that it's the demand that's changed, or that people should decide who and when to Rank. Fair enough. Rank who you want, when you want. Just as long as you're aware there's a cost, and that cost goes up the higher you Rank. If you want to Rank and go for broke, that's up to you. It doesn't mean the system is flawed. Perhaps the problem isn't Gold at all. It's the increased access to Champs. Somewhere along the lines, people forgot you have to work towards Upgrading Champs.
Ask for gold, propose ideas, but when someone disagrees or has a counter point that does not mean you need to go on the attack. Do not make **** up to support a narrative and think it will go unchallenged.
I never went on the attack. Idk how you got that from what I said. I said what I said because people always make suggestions and someone like YOU shoot them down. No need to get your panties in a bunch over a comment. Never said you couldn't disagree. What not you gonna do is come after me like I ain't ish. I don't play that. I don't do disrespect. Also this was an A and B conversation between me and Grounded. You could've read and not commented. Get on with your day and leave me alone.
I see what you're saying man. Just some increase would be nice since the gold payout has been basically the same ever since the game came out. I save my gold all the time from the quests and arena and wait to rank up but I still need more. Most of the community feels the same. I don't have time to grind arena because of School and Work during the week and grinding on the weekend just doesn't cut it for me. A solution is needed for players like us and with the solution everyone could take advantage. I see it as a win win for everyone.
You're way out of touch.
Brian Grant is end game, plays arena nonstop all day and he has 5m in gold right now. 4-6 months ago he had 10-15 million.
You don't know what you're talking about.
He no doubt went through it Ranking a bunch of Champs. It will replenish if he holds off on that. Unless there's some kind of leak in Gold I'm unaware of, outside of spending it.
I've been free to play for awhile now. I have 2 6*s. My prestige is 7120. I have lots of ranked champs. I hate arena, though I do some milestones and grind at times when I can find the time and ambition. Currently I have neither and haven't touched arena for days. Always have around 11 million gold. I have guys in my alliance with tons of gold and guys with none. Having said that, I currently have 4 t1 alphas. Never have enough. Maybe if I did I'd be short on gold. All that to say it isn't true that only hardcore arena grinders, spenders, and nubes have enough gold. I am none of these and am never short on gold. What is clear is that a low level resource is a bottleneck whether it's alphas or gold and that as many end game players have completed all content, waiting weeks to rank champs which not much else to do in the game is frustrating. I'd like to see more gold and alphas available in the game, though I don't think it needs anything like a weekly gold realm like many have called for. Hell, I'd be happy with alpha shards being available. Almost nothing I do in the game gives T1 alpha shards anymore so I am forever stuck with 3/4th of an alpha.
Its actually you who do not know what you are talking about.
1)BG does not play arena non stop, he mainly plays during is streams and has said as much on stream and in videos where he says he averages 2-3 hours a day or less. He is also slacking somewhat in arena and hasnt gone for a featured champion outside of 5* Bishop.
2)In January BG did his 5.4 legend run and during the run he ran low on potions/units so he made deals with multiple members of his alliance to trade potions for BC donations to the treasury. It took him almost 3 months to pay off the BC deal during which time he opened no arena crystals for gold yet was able to maintain donations for 6x5 while r5ing Medusa and r4ing LC along with other champions. He also started trading his gold for donations to the treasury.
God tier words right here!
