I think you need to get your story straight. Is it an important milestone or not?
If you want to ramp up * requirements ramp up monthly quest rewards. Normal to drop 3* for completion 4 star for exploration. heroic 4 and 5, master 5 and 6 and uncollected 6 and extra 6. Then yes we are moving up, but now for a weeks worth of effort with energy i get a full 3 star crystal for my effort, wow, thanks guys. All the current monthly quest rewards needs to be moved up atleast one tier in rarity for you to say you are putting in a effort to help us grow to get the act 6.
Kabam has introduced the gate system and its pretty backwards, but instead of trying to fight among ourselves on whether it is good or not (especially to that one person who has taken upon himself to prove why this was a correct move), lets look at potential solutions:
1) Remove Gate - Obvious one, but since the company is thinking from a buisness standpoint ($$ playa), it seems unlikely this will happen.
2) Make 5* basic arenas available immediately - This should be a no brainer. Right now, the biggest concern apart from synergies is that the community does not have many questing 5* champion because of RNG. Right now, the only method to get a 5* of our choosing is through the featured arena and that is limited to 150 people. So, at the max, only 300 summoners get the chance to get new champions. The remaining 99.999999% of the community has to either spend units (which is just absurd value). On introducing the basic arena, u allow a percentile of summoners to get champions of their choosing. Let me remind u that most of the 300 summoners that get the new champions are already summoners who have a big stack of 5* and therefore people who actually need them have an even lesser chance.
Some interesting notes:
a) Story acts are the main points in the game where a summoner could actually cover the distance between a high mid-tier summoner and lower mid-tier summoner. This was a changing point in the pecking order (not for the really high 3%ers, but for upper mid tier and lower mid tier players). But with gating, u are only allowing a summoner of certain tier to progress further. U have made the capability to reduce the progression gap between mid tier summoners be completey based on RNG.
b) The most obvious reason for gating is synergies. Any reply from Kabam is not telling how the impact of synergies will be resolved. And this is a big factor. Synergies make or break a champion and Kabam having realized that they have made some over powered synergies and this is the best method to nullify that.
I hope KABAM actually implements the 5* basic arena before the end of this month as that will allow people to start progressing towards act 6. If they are worried about people getting flooded with 5* because of this, make it so that those arenas can be only accessed after getting uncollected (at which point, 5*s reduce their values as 6*s become the new highest standard). Also to some people saying uncollected is also a gate, its a big difference. Uncollected is a milestone of progression which every summoner will eventually reach with equal difficulty. But the hard gate like in act 6 is not a milestone but a RNG based system. Its not gonna be reached equally by all. There should never be a hard gate (or stopping point) in a progression system, especially if that stopping point is based on RNG which the summoner has no control over.
I think Uncollected was quite a benchmark at one time, then scores of people got through it, and that leaves a very large group between Uncollected and this point. Like it or hate it, that's the separating factor they've chosen to implement for the next step up.
So much for that improved communication with the players
Sounds like trouble to me
Or are we believing that an unduped 3/45 Cyclops will be that much more effective than a 5/50 Blade sig 99??
TL:DR - They have every right to make whatever kind of challenge they want.
Make it too tough and non-god tier average champs will struggle, make it medium then god-tier champs will rip through it.
Synergies are just another part of it.
also it is only one aspect of the game that you cant use them.
it is possible that apple would give a refund as they often dont care about reason and will give refund.
however in all cases of refeund/chargeback they inform the vendor. in this case kabam.
so it is possible that if you requested a refund from apple you would get it but then kabam would ban your account for requesting a chargeback (ie. fraud).
