Do you guys really care more about quitters than us?

I've been thinking about this for a while now, and honestly, prof hoff's new video is the straw that broke the camels back. The offers and even FREE things that players get for not playing for a period of time greatly tower over what us loyal players receive in terms of effort for rewards. Kabam Miike has stated before that these offers are to entice players that played in the past that left to come back, but what are you guys going to do to entice us, the loyal players, not to quit this game in the first place? I'm not asking for anything big. I just want for us to be 1. Treated the same as players that quit, and 2. Given at least the OPPORTUNITY to buy some of these god level offers they are being given. Thanks to everyone that sees and comments on this, have a good day.

In this case goving stuff to guy just downloading the game has no meaning,he wont know or care on how to or where to use that stuff,but someone who quit (and they know why one quits,not being able to complete certain content due to difficulty,not having good pulls,and just genrellly being burnt out) so if a guy like that gets a free stuff after logging in after about 3-5 or months ,will freate sense of 'happiness' and wil try to do some content or quests in turn logging in regularly again and ultimate gettting addicted again and buying stuff finally and moving back to his general **** pulls that he had months ago!
So that's basically it! They wont care unless you quit for few months,
- To reward someone Loyal to you needs a sense of compassion,loyalty and morality which probably Lack so ! People who log in day in day out are just their rgular customers and nothing more!wish it wasnt like that but it is.
well simple.
stop playing.
then come back later and hope you have one.
really the offers are nothing compared to what can be earnt in game by actually playing the game.
it is simple standard business.
You have different tiers of deals in all business.
- Deals offered to entice new customers. normally in the form of very very good but limited time offers.
- Deals offered to entice previous customers back. normally quite good but not as good as it is considered easier to get someone back.
- Deals offered to current customer base. generally nothing too amazing.
- Deals offered to customers who threaten to leave.
That last category however doesn't work in this kind of situation as people would simply try and abuse it and say they were leaving just to get a good offer.
i wanna go out on a limb here and say most people that are complaining are non-spenders or only very very occasional spenders anyway.
it is a business choice that kabam make as they think it is smart for them to entice players back.
i dare say that some players never get an offer.
and the better offers are sent out to those who used to spend a fair amount of $$$$ while they played.
i suspect that a f2p player would not get an offer. but if they did it would not be anywhere near as good as someone who spent alot in game.
I work in B2B sales, and it's basically the same when trying to win back former customers. You have to offer some advantage for coming back as a customer.
So nothing strange about this, it's a commercial game, not a charity or anything like that. Being fair is not the first priority, and there's nothing surprising about that.
As far as community backlash, no. There’s just as many players who understand that the quitters lost out on much more than they could gain with one offer. I don’t see anyone getting so salty over Brenda down the road getting a 30% off coupon at Bed Bath & Beyond because she chose to shop at Target for 3 months. Let it go, there’s no injustice here.
you would earn a hell of a lot more playing for 5 months then any deal they could ever offer you.
even if u never spent in that 5 months.
i would guess if you took that option you would come back and realise you were along way behind others who stayed on board
but if you want a few months of time away why not, try it. you may get a good deal you may get nothing.
On the topic of Prof Hot.. His information is usually inaccurate. There's no reason to trust him as a source of info.
Lots of companies offer things to people to come back. There's no way for us to tell how many people actually sign back and claim them. I'd say a very small percentage and does it really matter? Once you wake up and realize Kabam is a for profit company, you can accept they do things that help them keep the game going. Stop with whiny "poor me, why cant I have it too" mentality. Want those offers? Quit for 3 months.
I would offer this counterpoint to the whole issue: after starting to back off from MCoC before Black Friday, I decided to push again December of last year, partly because old mates encouraged me to participate in the holiday alliance events. I took the brakes off decent offer buying and expanded my playtime.
That continued through February. My result? Other than a slate of mediocre dupes (11 of past 15 with new champs like CWBP, 2099 and Gambit) and re-dupes of great champs I already had at L150+ (Blade and Medusa), the main thing I have to show is a new 5* She-Hulk (who has been saved by the beta) and a roster that still has only one 5* champ released in the past 13 months—despite my ramped-up spend and playtime.
A spate of Aegon FGMCs yesterday (from iTunes cards that were a gift from an old mate) netted me a 5* Juggs and Nebula re-dupe, which is great if you consider the possibility of getting zilch from them. But that isn’t lighting anyone’s roster on fire.
So, in hindsight, it’s at least arguable that I would have been better off just turning it all off for 3 months myself and waiting for a tempting comeback offer.
The point is this: in my opinion, progression, over my last 3 months, has been a myth. I wouldn’t be so fast to hang my hat on all the great things a player could get by being loyal versus tuning out for a while.

i aint gunna try and argue that.
What resources have you earnt during the period however?
cats and the like?
if you quit for say 3 months there is no 100% that you will get offered a deal.
and if you did what are the chances that it is something better than what you have gained?
is a single 5* crystal, a 5* awakening gem and a bunch of sig stones better than all the resources you would have earnt from playing?
i know compared to what i would earn in that time i would say its a NO from me.
