Dont blame kabam to much for bad offers!

BrudixTree · June 2019

Hey guys,
i am playing mcoc since a short while now, and since then i have seen terrible pay to win offers, one of the worst: 900 5 star shards for 100€
This is bad, i guess. So the question is:

I am currently also playing one other game, i wont mention its Name now...
This other game i Play is having p2w offers that have a great value in comparision to their Prices. These offers contain tonns of important ressources. The Problem is: with one offer with a value of only 5 euro, you can gain more ressources than you would only get by playing 6 months constantly......
And this is the Point i want to mention: Kabam, your offers are weak, yes! People who want to invest in this game have to pay lot of Money to get only medium good offers. But on the other side, you give every Player a fair Chance (excluded the nameless thanos this month xD ) to get rewards by playing constantly!
I am addressing this discussion to everybody who says, kabam should make better offers: I agree with you, 900 5 star shards for 100 bucks is way to exaggerated! This is something Kabam should work on. But pls dont blame kabam to much, they are doing really good providing a good game with a lot of content with a faire Chance to win good rewards for everybody!
And as allways: Feel the epic Sax guy

The offers do get a bit outrageous. Yes, I'd love a 5* AG. Will I pay $70+ for it? Probably not. Here's why: You don't get to choose which one you want/need. I actually fell for this gimmick twice. Both times I got a skill when I needed a tech or a mutant AG. Give me a choice and you'll get my money everytime. Another commonly heard rule throughout the MCOC players realm is to never spend units on crystals as the RNG isn't very generous. I like crystals. They're fun and the excitement of "what if" is addicting. But will I pay $30 for 850 units to get 2 crystals that most likely will get me a couple 3*? Again, probably not. The amount of units you get for the price isn't a good value. I play another game and $100 gets me a ton of useful resources whereas $100 in MCOC gets me next to nothing. I've been saying for years that the player base that keeps the option open to spend is overlooked. The offers aren't geared towards f2p or the middle class but the whales.

Too many are for too much. I’d pay five to ten for some stuff. Good items run 30-100. No way I’m paying that.
They would have a ton of sales if they did things like .99, 4.99, and 9.99

Kabam is greedy and charges what they do because whales will pay. But they'd make more players happy by making more offers like the $1 hero crystals or deals where $10 will actually help you rank up and get through content. I don't believe for a second there pricing is to keep people from paying their way through the game. They still want you to, they just want more money for that luxury.

@Shin0638 I 💯% agree! This game is for whales. It was so different in the very beginning. So different. Offers weren't greedy either. It was affordable and easier to get resources and champs were less complex. F2p is dead in this game which is why I only play 10 minutes a day now. Grinding is a burnout and no "deals" are worth it. It's really shifted a lot

I’m free to play and am very happy in a gold 3 ally

i spent $30 on units for some offer i forget and $30 for the Star-Lord outfit plus dance AND the fishstick skin. Suffice to say I'm getting a lot more enjoyment and mileage from the SL/fishstick skin purchase...

I'm actually rather amazed at how few players actually express this opinion. A significant percentage of my lols come from responses to posts expressing a similar idea.

I'm both pleasantly surprised and thankful for the fact that the monetization in this game is something the vast majority of players find to be of poor value. Some people see this as evidence that you have to spend ridiculous amounts of money to get anything of value. But I see it as evidence that you don't fall very much behind if you don't spend, and the person that spends twice as much doesn't get massively farther ahead. It devalues cash relative to time spent playing. A good arena grinder can get farther ahead than someone that buys a couple Odins a month. That's not a bad thing: that's a fantastic thing for an F2P game. Very few are willing to exhibit that kind of restraint.

Thank you for putting my nonsense comment into words xD

You know, I have to agree with that statement. The fact that there is that much of a complaint shows on some level that people are earning enough to turn their nose up at the prices.

No no. You used Path to Lab instead of Road to the Labyrinth which got me thinking.
