You’ve been playing for about as long as me. You know, then, that if players are willing to spend very large sums of money they can summon repeatedly until they receive the HOTM and event heroes they want, can buy feeder troops for levelling purposes at great expense, and can purchase flasks to improve their chances of placing in events.
Some players do these things and they have advantages - E&P has always offered that. But the cost is very, very high. A spender like yourself has never had much of an advantage over a skinflint like me. That’s good for the game, I think, and the silly cost of emblems maintains that balance.
The difference has always been the bottleneck of ascension items. This is slowly being eroded. THAT will make a huge class separation, and thus kill the game!
SG have always worked hard to monetise their game. Seems most likely that the offers we’re currently seeing have been in the works for months. Perhaps their potential even contributed to the sale price - who knows?
What is clear is that we’re now speculating on matters about which we have no knowledge and no way to gain knowledge. So yeah, derailed.
To spend more than 100 $/€ per month is “insane spending” category.
I hope for SGG they find a way not to loose the player base. Events and a pile of emblems for money are dangerous.
The amounts of emblems as we see in the current offer are not gamebreaking for F2P but borderline…
Yes, I agree. I already feel stupid to toss 15-20€ per month.
If they keep going like that, only those whales will remain and play the game amongst themselves.
Have fun big boys.
Ascension items are available for purchase like anything else - if players are willing to spend the stupid amounts necessary to overcome the RNG. I’m not sure what change you see there. I haven’t seen any way that spenders like you can suddenly get vastly more ascension items that tramps like me.
It was the one way that i thought that i would have the advantage over the big spenders, they wouldn’t be able to outwork me. Small Giant seems like the state of California they can’t help but screw up every idea they come up with even with all their “good intentions” . Well time to start actually paying attention to Mystic Vision.
Let’s face it, players buy a lot of stuff in this game from heroes to mats, items etc, just take a look at threads and videos of 70. 80,…100pulls. Irrespective of the odds,
And sometimes they buy AM too both directly and indirectly.
So I wonder why Emblems would be any different, this game will not die base on this, rather it will keep thriving, more so on purchases.
If the emblem packs remain like the one currently in store, I’m not very worried. Rumours about upcoming content that will be behind a paywall on the other hand, is extremely worrisome!
