They won’t, because they’ve abandoned this game to just be a passive income stream. I choose not to participate.
Burn E&P Starterpack:
Zero spending (no VIP, nothing)
Zero summoning
Zero raiding
Zero chest filling
Let farms and mines rot
Never click Mystic Vision (esp. now that you have to watch 3-4 ads in a row just to get a reward)
This comment was so spot on a year ago and the whole thing is just much worse today. I’m a C2P and I think of myself with a fairly decent main defense team (Heimdall Rafaelle Telluria Sif Tyr - not Tyrum lol) but on raids I get with teams that I can’t even possible imagine how someone can have them…Friga, Odin, Red Purple and Blue Ninjas. Having one or two of these I can comprehend the odds but all?! How many pulls one has to do?! It’s insane. Is not about me being patient and wait and one day I’ll be able to face teams like this…I just won’t. Because even if I get some of those ninjas… By then there will be 300 new more powerful heroes those teams suddenly have.
Empires and Puzzles is not one game anymore. It’s at least two, split between budgets. I would almost prefer they would create a top league for the big spenders so us peasants could pretend they don’t exist. XD
Saying that I definitely need to find a mechanism, an app to block EP from my Google play and cards. There’s really zero point about putting more money into this casino.
Different raid tiers
Different level alliances
3*, 4* and 5* tournies and events
Different tier titans
Some of the rewards differ… or.did you mean A league competitions and D league competitions with exactly the same rewards?
No no, add more to the current tiers. They could have better rewards. What I’m saying is there’s a massive gap between low diamond and top 5000?! Something like that. Create a higher arena . Super exclusive. And let all those with the impossible teams fight each other.
I do agree with this. An arena for 2700+ cups
The common Empirical Whale has been known to migrate as far as 1000 cups away from their home territory in search of warmer waters in search of lower level plankton in order to fill their chests, before making the long journey back home to the Diamond Sea…
While it is uncommon for Killer Whales in captivity to attack their human caretakers, it does happen occasionally, and usually with devastating results…
As competition for limited food sources in the open sea grows fiercer, many deadly sharks have been seen migrating to shallower waters where they are not normally found, resulting in an alarming increase in local shark attacks on unsuspecting tourists who are new to the area…
While rarely ever spotted on the ocean surface, reports of deadly giant squid lurking in the deepest ocean depths have been confirmed, and further verified by numerous dead whales washing up on local shores, covered in numerous large suction cup shaped bites.
Too good. Too real.
Incredibly spot on. Could SG address things like this instead of creating new shiny toys all the time?
Years ago I used to know a guy who would bet on two flies crawling up a wall and everything was a competition. I accused him of being a compulsive gambler and he responded with, “I’m a winner, A WINNER!!!”. His wife was almost in tears but he just HAD to win at any cost.
Agreed but any business owner should already know that, I don’t think they care much about what the players want it’s more about building new seasons instead of expanding the land etc. I used to spend a lot of $ each month, now I won’t, at least 16 5 stars waiting to move up and never ever enough materials to do it.
Actually at the time of this post this was an undercount…
Classic 15
HotM 36
Atlantis 9
Teltoc 5
Grimmforest 5
Wonderland 5
Avalon 5
Pirates 5
I get to roughly 85 discrete 5* heroes and know there are more… I haven’t counted seasonal heroes or Myztero for example.
There are probs a 3rd more now when you add S3, Ninjas and the HoTMs from last 12 months.
Complaints about the lack of decent 3* and 4* heroes are justified when you balance against the plethora of 5* heroes in the game.
I think someone pointed that out to me at the time. There were over 150… How many now? Don’t know, don’t care. If I turned my total spend on this game into the number of 5* heroes I have, each one has cost ~$300 AUD each. SG can get ■■■■■■ as far as I’m concerned at this stage.
This table shows clearly how the money with E&P is made. It shows that the diversity of heroes, in my opinion one of the keystones of this game as it is now, is greatest at the 5* levels. This means that we are kinda forced to need such heroes if we want the fully enjoy the game, since in the end this diversity and resulting new possibilities of team combinations are the motor, which keep us going. Otherwise the game really lacks depth. It is - might sound harsh - simply boring! One of the pre-posters has stated this so nicely:
This is so absolutely true! This is exactly what I think! Obtaining shiny new heroes is nice but (over)focusing only on new heroes is insufficient especially in combination with the current pulling rates. Instead, we need more events with higher outcome for the time and resources invested, more game balance, more in-game communication and so on. I don’t have to write it here, since these very good suggestions are all over the forum. Players think about it and suggest ideas - we all want this game to be the greatest of all - this is our intention but:
SG. is. simply. not. listening. 
Dear SG staff. How can you just not see how valuable it is to have such a community? In a business apart from video games you would stand no chance if you would treat your customers this way. Even if your product is great. But here it works since we still see the potential of this game. We all believe in you - how can you ignore that? How??? I don’t get it. If you are not able to value this you should seriously look for a better manager during these modern times. Except you anyway have given up the game.
In this way. Keep us warm and close. Instead of diluting the chances to receive heroes by more and more portals with an excess of new heroes, make the ones already out there more available. At least the older ones from S2 and S3. You might still keep the newest season for the wales - I don’t care, you might as well keep the HoTM (who needs them anyway?). But just increase the odds to receive AM and older heroes, which are anyway reduced in their use in the game to regularly give us something new to play with. Especially for the FTP and CTP players.
Cheers
