With a Heavy Heart I'm Quitting

I've absolutely loved MCOC from when it was first created . I loved the storylines. I loved the playability. Loved the Alliance banter. Loved that you had to think tactically, BUT I'm quitting for the following reasons:
1) Bugs - biggest reason - the lag, the constant crashes, the freezes have made this game unplayable. You're in the middle of a War fight, the games lags and you die. You end up letting down the Alliance. Despite numerous reports by me, and by people, the bugs still remain.
2) Lack of Customer Focus - Kabam is a profit making company - I get that and they have to make money on this game, but some of the deals that come up periodically are ludicrous. They don't represent value for money. Also drop rates generally seem to have dropped considerably.
3) Nerfing - If it ain't broke, don't fix it! - The last "fix" on Mystic's made no sense. Ok, in the past fixes on very powerful characters like Scarlet Witch I got, but the nerf of the masteries really made no sense. I get Kabam have to balance the game, but they need to realise that player spend a lot of time on characters , not only on the masteries , but learning to play them, and to nerf the masteries at a stroke like this, with no real compensation is not really adequate.
4) Cheating - people using addons to cheat in war. Kabam's focus is on piloting which really is not cheating. Sometimes I play on my sons account, is that piloting? Kabam need to focus on real cheating i.e. addons and not things like piloting, which in the bigger picture evens itself out. Moving another players character in war if they are stuck in traffic on the way home is really not a big deal. Speak to the community, they will all say the same. This also applies to point 2 again.
5) Overpowered Obscure Characters - It is exciting that Kabam is bringing out new characters , but some of them are so over powered. I don't get how obscure characters like Domino can be so strong and one of the most powerful character Jean-Grey is so weak? This is really poor design and Kabam need to focus more on the characters as they are in the Marvel Universe. The game should reflect their Marvel status.
I really hope Kabam will take my comments seriously and not think they are an attack or anything like that. They are meant to be positive. I love this game and I want it to grow. I want my kids to play it as well, but because of the above, they too have lost interest. I know I'm a small voice and just another customer out of millions, but I really do hope I can return one day when the game is fixed.
Adiós and All the best

@Mediumunwell Agree my friend . The balance seems to have gone. We need to make the game welcoming for newbies. Make some of cash purchases affordable. Have a look at drop rates.
One of the gripes I didn't put up was to do with Gold, i.e. we all seem to be struggling with Gold. That really should not be the case.
I totally agree with your point about bugs. might quit as well if they won't fix damn bugs next update
They Should Not Affect The WHOLE Alliance, Just The Cheater.
From @RyanTDM
Why dont you leave the alliance?
There were no crashes prior to v18 but after that the app went crazy.
I haven't quit completely, but am just doing story. I will never dedicate the same time to a game that doesn't respect it's player base.
@Aleor - Hmm not sure about your Dormamnu example, he's pretty dammed powerful and in the comics, he is defeated (as in the film)
I take your point n piloting, and I'm not saying it isn't bad, but compared to other types of cheating, it's way down there, yet Kabam made it a priority. Just like nerfing and new champs is a priority over bug fixes.
@rockykoston I dunno what Kabam are thinking. They have a cash cow and they appear to have broken it.
It is one of my biggest frustrations as well (who doesn't?). It would help a lot if Kabam would admit this and as a good gesture, remove the time-out penalties such as AW and AQ, at least until the bugs are fixed.
As a mainly F2P player, I ignore these deals. What bothers me are obvious money grabs like Goldpool. Nobody asked for that made-up champion which was nothing but a cash cow. It really violated the spirit of the game.
Strangely enough, I blame Kabam for not nerfing enough. Obvious recent additions are gamebreaking - Domino, IMIW, Emma Frost - but Kabam fears the backlash since so many people invested in those champions.
Piloting is a form of cheating. If you can't move, then you can't move. Simple as that.
I absolutely 100% agree. Rather than two new champions a month, I'd rather have one new and one rework.
As for the piloting. Yes you shouldn’t be able to run war with your best player but you should be able to move your buddy who is on vacation with his family for the week. This game consumes you everyday life, it shouldn’t consume your vacation life. Yes I will be tagged and say “leave the alliance and come back” that’s not a solution. Recruiting is tough, and you don’t recruit for a week then kick and bring back. For the guys who have NO LIVES at all, not enjoying your vacation is cool but for us guys who have wives, others with kids and large families deserve the away time.
@Werewrym my Alliance is pretty chilled out. There's no real pressure. Easily make the donations. The banter is brilliant and that is what I will miss.
All I'm saying is, I played this game near enough from when it first came out, and I have noticed a drop in the overall quality of play and service.
@Panchulon21 I think with drop rates I should have added things like Gold. It's so tough to get, even with a solid Arena grinder like me.
Ok, I can understand that. I guess for me, the fun I have with my alliance is one of the main things that keeps me going. I'm not sure I'd wan't to leave them even if the quality of the game wasn't as good as it used to be. I just got the iPhone 8, (upgraded from the 5c) and I have noticed a huge jump in the performance of the game. I am actually enjoying the game a whole lot more now that I have a better device.
Why not go to an alliance that does not require donations? Donations may seem like a small amount, but you don't realize how much it really is until you don't have them anymore. When I moved from a map 5x5 alliance to a map 3 alliance the amount of gold I was able to save up quickly was amazing.
@Werewrym
I don't thing for things like Gold we should have to grind as much. We never used to have to. T4 Cats and above yes, by all means, but not Gold.
@Werewrym
I got an Nvidia tablet, probably the best Android device out there , but it is old tech now, but Iphone 8 would probably have been my next step (or the tablet).
I agree completely. I hate arena which is why I don't play it. I don't think we should have to grind in arena to get gold. So I just save mine and only rank champs that are worth it. If I had to grind arena, I actually probably would quit. I think arena grinding is about the last thing I would ever want to do. What I dislike is that they release new tiers of champs or higher ranks are available all costing much more gold than anything in this game has cost. And yet they have done nothing to increase the amount of gold we earn anywhere. It is a real problem. Another reason why I am in an alliance that does not require donations.
@MrTicTac19992008 I think if Kabam maybe said, "look the game doesn't work now on devices older than say X years" I'd get that, but they don't.
@Leiva_dark - it's a dammed shame because we spend so much time recruiting people, getting them to play as a team, then they feel they have to quit because of game lag.
@Werewrym - I forgot about that. The new Tiers cost astronomical amounts . I think for my Blade 5 star it was 1000000 gold to go from 3/5 to 4/5. Just crazy.
Let's enjoy life bro
@MikeHock just read your tag. Love the name fella!
@Akhilxcx I'm in the middle of a war so will quit after that....but yeah get your point!
