Thats for the grinders. If your casual chose a few champs and just rank those.
If you dont play arena you dont need many champs ranked up anyway
But the fact is gold is there for people to get. As i showed a few hours can give a lot.
If people put in effort they get it.
If they dont they dont.
Simple.
If kabam make gold easier to get. I dont care. I am not saying dont do it.
I am just saying i dont think it should be done or needs to be done as there is gold on offer.
And if you dont play arena you just cant level everyone up.
Arena allows you that benifit.
Gold resources need to be improved upon everywhere else in the game other than arenas. It doesn’t not change anyone’s gold stash. It doesn’t hurt anyone. And it wouldn’t unbalance the game.
Edit: and I do all dungeons
I am just saying i dont think it needs to be done.
From my experience those who arena have gold and those who dont arena have no gold.
It seems like a perfectly balanced tradeoff from where i stand.
If everyone could just get enough to rank anyone whenever then where is the benifit to those who put in the hard work?
There needs to be an advantage to grinding.
That is gold.
I see time as the fair trade off.
Running top level aq is an expense i get that. But i think maybe that is the problem. Aq is too expensive.
I do map 5 and now it costs almost nothing.
Its great.
Getting 200-500 gold for a fight/win in uncollected eq is just annoying. Kabam could easily increase this amount of gold just from uncollected eq and I won’t complain. Every where else seems to be okay for gold. Except in monthly event quests.
Edit: sorry not trying to direct that all at you because you already said you don’t care if they increase it. You’re more understanding of the situation then others on the thread.
"3 hour of a chore for only 130k! Nobody in my roster is worth that. I'd rather do the dishes and take a nap, then maybe my wife will leave me alone long enough to stay up and play an extra 20 minutes later tonight. With 20 min of uninterrupted game play, I could start working on act 6!"
Any content that requires more than 10 min or so at time has to be scheduled for a later time.
I know that for some inexplicable reason you are compelled to defend Kabam at every turn, but even you have to see that this is a problem for anyone who doesn't have more money than sense or more free time than they know what to do with.
15 matches in arena over 3 days for the first 3 milestones is time consuming?
Act 4 is not a problem. That's exactly how they set out to make it.
Gold is available, and there are many of us that have Gold. The misconception is that we tape our phones to our hands and Grind on a loop. Not at all the case. That's what I was speaking on. The fact that there is ample amount of Gold in the game, evident by the fact that many people have it and manage it. I even gave a method I use for farming it.
However, I also said that part of that is spending habits. That's a reasonable assessment. They have increased ways to acquire Gold in the game in the last year, and people still run out. They could add a Gold Arena or Halls of Fortune daily, and some people would still run out. Reason being, they spend it all. That's not contradictory or spiteful. That's logical. If you want to have Gold you have to manage it properly.
What some people need to try to do, is not give everyone a hard time if they find themselves short of a resource even after doing everything everyone says to do.
I have less then 1 million gold...
Arenas - yup all the time
Dungeons - haven’t missed one iteration
Monthly eq - all difficulties
Sell iso - yup
Sell extra catalysts - yup
Limit rank ups to solo level up goal - yup
Make deals with alliance mates to cover gold - yup
All my catalysts are full except for t5bc, t2a and science t4cc. My last two rank ups were 5* spidergwen and 5* she hulk to rank 3 from rank 1.
So please tell me where else can I make more gold?
What you can do is, make a Prudent Reserve. A bare minimum amount that you will keep for emergencies or to stay afloat. You then hold off on spending unless it's absolutely essential, AQ for example. Save the Prudent Reserve, and don't spend anything unless you go above that.
It's just basic Financial Planning applied to the game. You have to take stock of what is coming in compared to what is going out.
The argument that people will still complain is to illustrate the point that spending habits account for some of the problem. If some have Gold and some don't, it stands to reason.
Now personally, I’d never say no to an increase in gold payouts via arena, quests etc. Preferably quests as I enjoy running them than doing arena and imo there’d be no harm in just increasing gold pay outs from arena and questing by 25-50%.
But, at the same time, you’re right, grinders should get the benefit of being able to rank who they like, but whatever, all anyone (grinder or not) needs to save gold is a nice patch of unbelievably bad rng, and vice versa.
Now if we could all just be nice and remember, different people have different responsibilities, some have little free time for arena (or prefer watching paint dry with their free time), others do grind arena but have such good rng the gold can’t keep up, and others have the benefit of not having to pay donations for their AQ so they’ll be picking up an extra chunk each week there over those that do Map 5-7.
Reading through this thread, tho, I have to wonder. Every person who said “no” and offered an explanation, became very defensive & self-righteous, and single minded. “A non existent issue, grind more arena, anyone who said yes has a ‘motivation’ problem and are not being honest about it.”
I find this odd. Most of these responders ALSO attempted to draw real-world economic comparisons. Most went so far as to all but intimate the classically austere mindset of, pull yourself up by your boot straps. A problematic mentality for even just the Real World.
I do not believe this argument holds any water. It just sounds like, “I did it, why can’t you, you must be flawed in some way or another.”
This game is not really the real world, though. Stay with me for a minute as I extend this metaphor.
If it was analogous to the real world, free to play players are the Homeless Population. Everyone else, and keep in mind this is a fallacy, because the real world is not black and white, adopts a venture capitalist / stockbroker / investor / 1% p.o.v.
This type of thinking is quite imaginative, though, is it not?
In the “real world,” there are things like welfare, unemployment, bank loans. There are not really any analogous elements in game. The closest thing I can think of holds a tenuous connection at best, and it’s pretty abstract in its lateral-ness, and that’s the ability to sell champs/resources. But this is kind of like a garage sale, at best. Certainly not like a pawn shop, or any number of potential real world comparisons.
It is for this reason that I do not agree with most who say “no.” I think the logic behind most of their defenses is not sound.
Just my 2 cents, no pun intended.
One thing about this game and community that definitely IS just like the real world, is that there’s rampant name calling, self righteousness, arrogance, and “I only care about my own lives experience with the game” these kinds of attitudes get nobody anywhere, in real life or the game. We need to work on mature dialogue, all this derisiveness is too exhausting.
