Heres a list of reasons why I decided to be ftp one year ago and why I havent played anymore after playing for 2 years. These are not in particular order:
- money grab development features are the only ones prioritized, 4 months in this year and not even news about gaming experience improvements nor QoL
- gap between ptw and ftp is getting worse
- no listening to feedback/player base
- power creep (Power Creep - The Trouble with Expansions and Time - Extra Credits - YouTube)
- ninjas and ninja tower are simply ridiculous, OP heroes and worst designed event ever
- goblin balloon was a slap in the ftp face
- even getting already old S2 heroes is way too difficult, no development of TC or other such features in years
- lack of eht (insanely difficult to get for ftp)
- lack of old summon coins (Atlantis, Valhalla)
- surplus of iron in endgame
- no real rewards of being loyal to daily playing, latest chest addition to pov is a joke
- no actual chance to get the hero you have always wanted, ofc lots of money would do the job
- tournaments. Should a player really be able to buy back in? No
- I have 15 5* S1 heroes laying around. 0 luck in HA10 since the beginning, HA10 is not a solution to anything
