Rankdowntickets (RTD) are bugged since the last time they are given Out for moleman.
So many people used it on him. But he purifys them and even today Most moleman are at the same Rank as before the use of the RTD.
Game Team is likely investigating what went wrong 😄😄😄
My moleman actually went 1 rank up even though I had used rank down ticket on him
Weird stuff
It is difficult to believe at this point that there exist players who a) are aware that rank down tickets exist but b) don't recognize that they aren't getting them just because they want them. But for the record:
Rank up decisions are meant to be irreversible. You are not meant to be able to rank up something today, and then change your mind and get a do-over when the game changes and better options arrive. The game makes you decide, and then live with your decision. Allowing people to rank down both trivializes rank up decisions and breaks the economy in many ways.
Rank down tickets have been issued in the past for what were perceived to be extraordinary circumstances. However, in every case where that was done, the extra ordinary circumstances were themselves addressed to eliminate the need for rank down tickets in the future. For example, one argument for rank down tickets was when Kabam made adjustments to champions after release. The argument was that it was a reasonable expectation that ranked champions would not change substantially. However, that argument has been nullified over time by the evolution of explicit champion adjustment processes, so that while champions are still adjusted, the "reasonable expectation" no longer exists.
I believe that there was one time they were either given out or made available to players as a one-time thing as well, but that was also a one-off.
And because there is such a prevalent belief that players deserve them, and every time they have been used in the past this has only caused people to use those situations as "precedent" for asking for more of them, Kabam is extremely reluctant to issue them in the future. Players simply don't understand the concept of "extraordinary circumstances" and cause too much of a commotion whenever they decide that the extraordinary is something they deserve regularly.
3* Gorr + 4* Gorr = 7* Gorr 😉
Don't ask how I know.
Agree with everything you mentioned but I have to to counter one point. Why is a trivial thing like rank up of a champion in a game is "irreversible" " got to live with it" "if something better comes along can't change your mind and get a do over".
Picture this - You are in a casual relationship or good friends with someone, it gets serious, you start going around - think of it as a rank up( r1-2) . Then it gets more serious, you start living to together (r2-3) , then you get engaged (r3-4) , then marriage ( r4-5). But later in life maybe you drift apart and there is no love left in the marriage ( stop loving the champ and don't play with it) or someone new comes in your life and lights a spark ( shiny new 7* or new featured champ).
So if the marriage/ relationship is not working out would you continue with it ?
So if the choices you make in real life are reversible then so should the choices we makes in a video game.
P.s - I am definitely not in favor of rank down tickets
But since it isn’t, here's an alternative offer, for those wanting to basically shift all the resources over into newer/better champs now.
If there are Rank-Down's, they would only return the “today's equivalent” of those original resources back to you.
aka, Cats/ISO/etc are say 3x more readily available than what they were when you originally ranked up that champ.
So if you Rank then Down today, you should only get back 1/3rd of the resources.
Think of it as adjustment for “Game Inflation”.
And maybe also, specify that you can only utilize those recovered resources for alternate Champs that had actually existed in the game at that original rankup time.
I still remember 4*s being hard to get let alone 5/50.
Pre-12.0… good times.
I mean, you can ask, but the answer is going to be no. And in the real world, most of the relationship rank up comes from effort, and there's no one to even ask for a refund for effort.
