BS aside, I feel them. I wouldve felt the same if I were still uncollected.
We didnt have this issue last year. I remember ranking my first r5 from those cash offers. Coz i couldnt explore Act 5 nor 100 every UC event for the t5b back then. Several quests and bundles later, my second r5, then r2. Good times.
It was game changing for me but not game breaking for everyone else. Given a choice, I’d allow the same bundles offered to each and every player. Just my opinion.
Uncollected, buy when I feel like it.
Does it suck that there is a difference between the offers based on your title, yes. Is it unfair, no. If you adopt the view that the different titles are like different tiers of membership, it makes sense that you would grant your highest tier members access to better deals/rewards. It is a "reward" for those that were willing to spend more, whether through time, effort or money (or a combination). Whether all members/players money is valued the same and therefore has the right to the same rewards/deals is inaccurate. The fact remains, that those at the highest membership tier (Cavalier) has earned the right to better rewards/deals.
IMO, this system is needed in the game. I have seen it over and over again, where players rosters expand faster than their skills due to increased rewards. They end up steam rolling through content without acquiring the necessary skills to go along with it. Eventually they hit a wall, where roster alone cannot get them through content, usually Uncollected EQ, and then hit the forums ranting cash grab, poor game design, etc. Going on the Cavalier deals, a new player, with $300 can get 3 x 5* champs and a 6* champ. This new player will steam roll his way into Act 5 in no time at all, bypassing the need to learn basics like parry and dexterity, etc.
The simple fact here is that the game rewards those that have "put more into the game". It doesn't matter whether it is time or money. How is this unfair? There will always be a "wealth gap" between those with more and those with less, again, it doesn't matter whether it is through time or money. If you want to have access to the best, you have to work for it, you have to earn it. Everybody is not automatically entitled to the same rewards/deals, we are however entitled to the same opportunity to gain access to these rewards/deals. In this case becoming Cavalier.
2. Uncollected are not that far from Cavalier in resource needs. I have 100% act 5 but have been saving units before finishing 6.1 so I can get the R5 gem. I was going to get the $100 offer to get more units to finish it. I need 6* shards and t2a just like Cavs, and I don't need t4cc just like the Cavs. I have 3 R5 and a lot of **** 6* champs. The cutoff for this was bad. Perhaps Elder's Bane would have been better for the top tier.
3. I would expect that a company that makes this much money would have a marketing team that analyzed these decisions beforehand. If so, perhaps they think that making the Cavs feel entitled and the others inferior, eventually sells better.
4.They lost out on my $100, increased my disatisfaction with them as a company, decreased my desire to play, etc. It is obvious that I am not the only one. Hopefully it was worth it in regards to their business model.
Therefore, I won't be spending on this deal.
It is not about making anybody feel entitled and others inferior. The deals are clearly structured around certain progression levels (albeit averaged out). Therefore if you feel you would be better off having been able to buy the Cavalier deals, it should be an incentive for you to become Cavalier. In this regard I do feel Kabam slipped up. Even though they have said that progression tiered deals would be coming out, they could have given advanced notification. They could also have given a rough estimate of the difference in the deals. That way, players could have decided for themselves whether they want to push hard to get to the next tier, before the deals came out.
If we are paying £100 with cash, we should get the same, I’m pretty sure your not even Cavalier, so I’m surprised you aren’t annoyed. I am, and it’s even annoyed me.
A shop cannot give someone more for X amount of money, and then less to the next customer who wants the same thing for the same amount of money. You might get loyalty points or vouchers, but that isn’t cash, that’s like Units in this instance.
Plus it’s even worse with the RNG side and 5* above champs only for act 5, people may not be cavalier due to terrible RNG and luck.
You say “rewards” in your argument, these are not rewards, they are cash offers, which should be equal, and like I said, I got the same as the others, I didn’t get the rubbish deal, because I’m at a higher level, but I still think it’s pretty shady for it to be done.
Same reason Seatin thought the whole 5* above for act 5 was ridiculous, it clearly didn’t bother him for his account, but he still spoke up, which was right to do.
Would love to know @Seatin thoughts on this, I would like to think he would agree, with me.
Ever since they introduced these quest point titles, parity and value of offers has just gone to pot. Time of service and Level are meaningless. Champs amassed and ranked are meaningless. Just one single solitary determining point decides progress and value of rewards. Dumb.
Might as well charge lesser players an extra 1000 units to get 5* vision then by that logic. But no. It's the same price for everyone.
So your explanation is pretty much not valid. Questing milestones get you access to better crystals with better rewards. Them also deciding that those milestone titles are the only reference to determine progress is just ridiculous. Add to that, it now decides players should pay the same amount, be it units or cash, for offers that are not equal and have significantly less value than other offers of the same price.
The argument that a lesser account doesn't need those better rewards is ridiculous. Might as well go to the complaints when people say they have too much gold, too much iso and so on. You will need it at some point. What's wrong with getting a head start then by buying offers that will help you down the road? Heck, I'm still one full t5b away from an r5 5*. Giving me basic shards just means I'm 9 months away from getting that 2nd one as opposed to 14 months. Loosely speaking. So I don't need rewards that give t5b shards?
A younger account could have bad luck getting the same class of t4c to the point it could r3, 4 and 5 a 5* if they had the other cats. So it's wrong they get access to the t2a and t5b needed to get there because they're not uncollected or cavalier but willing to drop the units or cash?
You are paying $100 for 3,100 units, everything else included is a bonus. You can argue that the only reason you would buy the offer is because of the add-ons, but that is irrelevant. The fact is 3,100 units are worth $100.
No matter what tier/title you fall in, you are still getting your 3,100 units. Therefore it cannot be argued that lower tier/title players are not getting their $100 worth. Everything else included in the deal is added extras. It is only the extras that are determined by your tier/title.
My main is cav and I dont want them on there
