So yeah....
Season 2 rewards drop. My alliance got bumped down to the top 10 of gold 1, missing platinum rewards by about 400k. It happens.
What shouldn't happen though is all the drama and nonsense. Just since yesterday, 2 popular YouTubers, a member of one of the top 3 master alliances, and a bunch of members of a plat1 alliance all received 7 day bans. The YouTubers both confessed it was for buying discount units. It's safe to assume that the plat1 alliance members were also guilty of this considering one of the YouTubers got theirs while in said alliance.
I'm not here to discuss bannings or punishments. I'm not here to call out those involved. I'm here to ask kabam why.
Why would we (the hard working, legit players) even bother to continue trying? Those alliances ahead of us are spending an astronomical amount more units to get through seasons. Turns out a bunch of them are getting them from other sources at discounted rates.
The rich are the ones that get richer in this game. It's been that way since day 1 for me. I get that. I'm just a tad salty knowing that with all the shady dealings this season, for me to miss plat3 by so little, while master groups are rigging wars for each other, or running 2* defense to maximize points, sending skilled players devices to not get caught piloting, even chatting on 3rd party apps in matchmaking groups to pick who they play!
It really seems like there is little to no chance of any casual spending players, even if highly skilled, to get anywhere past slightly above average on anything ranked.
Is this the competitiveness you wanted kabam? Guys lowering themselves to shady dealings to get ahead in your game? Is this the fun and interactive you were looking for? Only interactiveness going on is in line chats keeping the top groups on top. I'm glad you listened to the community and reversed the diversity thing for season 3. I think it's thanks to the use of the word boycott more than wanting to keep your customers happy, but whatevs. You have a very salty group of summoners right now, kabam. For guys and girls in any suspicion of cheating to be getting highly sought after rewards over the hard working, fair spending, it's literally a slap in the face.
I'm done giving you any of my hard earned money. I'm going to 1 star rate the app because of the way things are going. I urge anyone feeling the same to do the same. Only you kabam can make things right. Do away completely with the cheaters, and reward those that earned their way. Otherwise, there's really no incentive to play legit. Thanks for reading
