Let's talk about the problem with weapon X...

Weapon X is a perfect example of what this game does WRONG. Now, I already know even before I start explaining this stance that the people who were lucky enough to pull him from GGC's will disagree, and they will only disagree because they pulled him.
Let me begin with a simple question; why do we play this game? At the core, why did we want to download and play this game?
I would wager that for 99.9% of us it's the same reason; because we are marvel fans and love the idea of collecting and playing with our favorite characters from the marvel universe. Which brings me to weapon X.
When I found out he was being introduced into the game as a playable character, I was ecstatic, because I have been a huge wolverine fan since he was first created and appeared in incredible hulk #180 (I have this issue). I would gladly trade any 5 of my top champions to have him. Then I found out that he could only be acquired via an act 7 legends run, which I knew I wasn't blubbery enough to accomplish. Disappointed, I held out hope that at some point kabam would make him obtainable through some other means.
Then the gifting crystals were revealed.
Now, I'm far from a whale, and only casually spend on this game when a really good deal drops. A peasant, if you will. However,when I found out he was in the crystals and started to see all the posts on the forums and the videos from the content creators pulling him, I decided to actually invest what I could to acquire this character I love so much.
Long story slightly less long, 50 crystals opened and my only noteworthy pull was regret. Now who knows if Kabam will ever make him obtainable for average players, or if he will stay locked behind a whale wall. All I know is that I remember why I downloaded this game, and this ain't it.

I downloaded this game in 2015 for my then 5 year old son. He really wanted iron man so I played it till I opened enjoyable crystals to pull him. Well by then he had lost interest and I was hooked. Never read a comic, never liked or disliked marvel.
I enjoyed the simple mechanics of the game. That grew I to loving the rank up process. Then collecting them all.
All of that can still be done no matter if they released rank 4-5 6* gem. Or a 7* weapon x.
Sounds like you and I spend around the same.
What do I care what a whale gets? Out of my league anyway 😂. Won’t be up against them in war, as we comfortably sit at tier 9-12.
I kind of understand why they would add that gem. Spenders make the game goround. Why not add something that will make them spend more for that chance.
Just like your crystals you opened and didn’t get weapon x. That was the point of putting him in. And it worked if you opened that many. I opened max 25 ish. Didn’t get him, was after 5/6* shards anyway.
It doesn’t affect us personally, why complain. We still get to enjoy the game we are all addicted to.
It also throw the future of legend runs into doubt. Will they continue the same system? Or maybe keep a new exclusive champion?
Lastly, you stated that the people who pulled him will disagree with you, but at the same time you made all efforts to pull him, and the only reason you made this post is because you couldn't.
If you want a guaranteed 5 star trophy do 100% Labryinth of legends you get classic Ultron who is decent.😉😉
This was a 15 minute span of time.
Hello @gannicus0830. Thank you for sharing your opinion on the game and Weapon X in particular. I moved your topic to the feedback/suggestions board where it matches more.
