I’m not really sure what specifically to reply to.
I wanted to say, first, that I’m glad you’re back. I was wondering where ya been
You’re such an excellent foil to my irrational saber rattling. I feel like Yin without yang when you’re not around
You know I’m thinking about this a lot. I enjoy the game. And some of the things I enjoy sorta lead back to the crappy RNG. When things come up rosy you really feel great about it.
And it’s kinda like life. When you know that death is coming, living is so much more important right? Without death, how would we appreciate life? Weird comparison, but that to say:
The failures in summoning make the successes that much sweeter.
The problem I have as a C2P player is, when I do plop down some cash, to get essentially nothing. Well. If sucks. I don’t like it.
I think as a STRICTLY f2p game, there is a lot to offer. You will not have much in the way of HOTM or event heroes necessarily (unless you’re extremely lucky… or play a very long time), but you’ll be able to get a lot from TC20…
As C2P the ‘feeling’ is I would be better as F2P. I spent $5 last event, and with those 3 summons got all 3*. I had been saving my EHT and saved a month of VIP gems. So did 8 summons and got all 3*… for me, that just says: stop spending.
I’m happy enough with the game as F2P. I just got to TC20 this week… so no need to spend. It makes me happy to think that when VIP runs out I’ll let it stop and “take $5 away” from SG. They made a good game, but I think they’re exceptionally greedy, even within the context of mobile gaming. And ya know. We have talked about this in other threads I think, but it isn’t all on SG. It is just the state of mobile gaming that this sorta model is the norm. I hope it’ll change one day… but to expect SG to be on the forefront of that is probably silly. But a girl can dream…
Anyway. Full acknowledgement that this is an awful rambling mess. The truth is I am very conflicted about a lot of the summoning stuff. I know that lower rates makes hitting the jackpot feel better. I guess I just personally think those rates are too low to be reasonably affordable to human people. Like you said,‘they are meant to be rare’ … I think … they’re meant to be profitable. But potato potato I guess.
Anywho. Glad you’re around
