Offers only catered for the big spenders...

All we keep seeing is offers catered for the spenders. Where is the 'appreciation' for the MAJORITY of your players? You really think the way to make the most profit is to throw out expensive offers? You will get a lot more purchases with cheaper offers. Having a purchase is better than no purchase, right?

Also - Your 'appreciation' month is possibly the worst/insulting idea possible. Most of us level 60 players don't need gold, experience (that does nothing for us) or BC. Trying to show that you 'appreciate' us by giving us worthless rewards, is really like rubbing salt in an open wound.

    What about the 3* cache a week ago? Was that aimed at big spenders?

    They've actually had a range of Offers lately. Some more expensive than others. Most you don't need to spend money for if you have the Units. Not every Offer will be for everyone. Which is the same idea for Appreciation. When you do something for all Players, it has to take into account all different points of the game. We don't need the XP, but others do. The Pots came in handy. So did the Sig Stones. When you have all ranges of people to consider, you can't just keep the Top Players in mind.
    Not to mention the fact that all of it is just bonus.

    If it was an appreciation offer maybe, however it's not.

    And say they have 100 people who will buy the offer at 100$. For half the price they would need to sell it to twice as many people To get the same amount from the sale. They have the numbers and likely know that selling twice as many is far less likely to bring in the same amount of sales.

    And really if your wages can't support 100$ for digital items then that's on you.

    Thats not true its the opposite i have removed my card from google play and will never spend again cause im the only person in my alliance who did not get the 5x units option with the 4 star crystal and 5 star shard offer. Instead i always get completely useless **** offers. I am in the process of filing for descrimination as they straight up refused to offer me that and its 50000x better then any offer ive had since i started. All because i spent lots on this game every month. Kabam is the shadiest company ive ever seen at rewarding loyalty. Its a true travesty that they punish for spending

    Sorry, I should have been specific. I meant the offers for the top tier players. The players who no longer want/need 3* ****. The 4 star offer that a lot of people would have purchased was the same price as the current 5 star offer, £100. Why is the 4 star offer the same price as the 5?

    I understand that but its either cheap (3 star cache offers etc) or expensive (4/5 star offers). There is no in between.

    I think its more down to people knowing its a game and these are 'digital' items that aren't worth anywhere near the price they are being offered at. Are you saying you think these offers are reasonable?

    Is a dinner you can make for 20$ worth the 100$ it will cost you to have someone else prepare and serve it to you? Is the food you can grow on your own for free worth the 20$ is will cost to buy at market?

    If they sell at this price they are reasonable to the parties participating in the transaction.
    What I think of the offers price point is irrelevant in a business sense.

    A T4 basic offer would be awesome ... and since there was an ascendant crystal offer yesterday, I was waiting for a T4 basic offer today. But ... no ...
    Still hoping they sell 2/3 basics for 900 units again
