And after last weekend's moment of hysteria, I thought I would regret selling 60 4*s-20 R4s & 40 R3s

As one of those who actually wrote about NOT SELLING CHAMPS as one of the Cardinal Rules in this game, after selling 60 4*s last weekend because I was upset pulling 6* Karnak, I'm not really feeling any much different in my account except I can no longer grind for as many points in the 4* arenas. But I don't really spend much time on 4* arenas anymore as I put all arena time in the 5* arena to get the 12M milestone. I can pull almost 1.5M points just from my 5*s and my R5 4*s maybe contribute a 100K or so on one run.

This got me thinking either something is wrong with me or something is intrinsically wrong with the game design that selling 60 4* champs isn't really a big deal for end game players. What gives? The danger rooms introduced to put 2*s and 3*s into use (again) after finishing Act 1 and 2 years ago is probably a good start. And I dare say that it's probably a great idea to have danger rooms for 4*s as well.

For some strange reason something deep inside of me is yearning that I should regret deeply doing that crazy move. But being that the only real negative consequence other than losing 130K rating and dropping from my region's position of TOTAL BASE HERO RATING of 87 down to a pathetic 200ish. So what? I use 5*s for AW attack and defense and AQ attack.

There should be something in the game that will make it a real bad reason to do something as extreme as I did. Yes, one might argue I used some of those 4*s I sold while getting to where I'm at right now. Actually, that's not true as well. From the time I got to around 150K rating three months into the game back in December of 2016, the four stars I used were Thor, Black Widow, Guillotine, Ultron and Vision (AoU) I used to complete Act 4. Then I used an R4 5* unduped Magik to explore Act 4.

Just thought I'd drop this really sad thought before I forgot about it.

Should there be something in place that will make players have a more compelling reason to keep their 4*s once 5*s become their main tools in clearing content?

    No, it just hasn't been enough time since selling to feel the hurt. At this point in my career I have almost all my 4*s at max sig so nearly every 4* champ I get is 550 5* shards.

    Aww, I sorta want 6* Karnak, cause I’ll never rank up the 5* (and I like that armor break on Medusa’s heavy).

    Don’t ever sell. Not only you get more shards if you dupe, but tons of ISO and gold. As @RagamugginGunner said, you just haven’t stayed long enough to feel the aftermath.

    Not to hijack the post but it’s relevant to my questions follow up lol. Duped my Starlord after selling 3 4*s last week! Was 2 tech cats shy of my first r4 (after my first dupe!) and sold 9 science cats.. I now have a r4 Starlord and no regrets haha

    I sold over 100 plus 4s a year ago and still paying for it . My only issue is iso and seeing the shards i miss from pulling people i use to have.I have all the Champs I want on this game as a 5 or 6 and could care less about vs anymore after grinding for 3 years. Jus depends where u are at in the game for it to really affect you . 4s mean nothing up where I am in master bracket. I ended up getting some of my best Champs from selling . I'm at 64 5s atm and the selling process probably gave me 8 of those for over 100 4s. Not really worth the trade out now since 5s come rolling in but back then it was to help me advance in the game quicker and helped a lot .

    I really enjoy my 6* Karnak. With my DD and Medusa, who is about to go to R5, my 6* Karnak does really good damage. I’m glad I pulled him cause I don’t think I would have ever R4 my 5*.

    Also his true strike ability is really valuable with some of the champs that have recently come out.

    I never sell. Ever. Unless I am feeling oddly bored and want more to do in the game; then I sell all my 1*s except Spidey Iron Man and Wolverine. I was glad that I didn't sell the 1 and 2*s when the 1/2* Arena came and I got an easy 5* Crystal. I am hoping the new Class 2* Crystals that rotate weekly are a permanent addition.

    To use Churchill's words: "Never sell. Never. Never. Never."...unless (and OMG if you do this Kabam I will go effing postal) they decide to institute a Champ Inventory limit like there is with Item Storage. If only the statement "Kabam will do the right thing...eventually" was also accurate... (BTW, Churchill never actually said anything like that)
