Thanks Zynga for get my money, you taught me

Thank you Zynga for theach me a lesson today when a I spent money one more time like I do all months and today in this event I pulled a big box of sh*t and a lot more, you Zynga taught me today to never more spend any coin in this game
All my good heroes I’ve pulled with luck and with few pulls or free pulls, but when a wasted a ton of gems I pulled nothing, so… I think the best deal is to continue like that and waiting for luck, my money say thanks!!!

Stay away from spending too much.
So you will not be disappointed.
Even if you pull something hot & popular today.
Remember no matter what, that hero will be outdated very quickly after other hotter heroes comes out!

This is the reason why i completely stop spending any money on our beloved game!

A good motto to live by in this and many other games… Only spend as much money as you are willing to never see again…

I agree but the main problem here is that you spend in a hope and expectation to get at least something and the money you spent is gone anyway

I´m sorry you have such bad ‘luck’ :slightly_frowning_face: (Read: that the system needs you to spend more in order to deliver the wanted heroes to you)

This game is a casino in disguise. The house always wins. In this case, the house doesn´t even care for a moment either.

All we can hope is that one day, a game such as this will exist, run by a different company with a different approach; one that is not so predatory and one that does not take advantage of those, that are battling a serious addiction :pray:

This thread here can help to visualize, just how small a chance you have to find joy in the game: Portal Summons Odds - Visualized

Good luck ahead :four_leaf_clover:

Same here. I used to spend probably about $100 monthly. Now with the super high pace of hero release any heroes I pull are usually outdated by the time I max them, so no more spending for me. Why should I give money to a company that doesn’t appreciate my business at all because I’m not a whale. Whales are always going to whale because they have more money than sense (or even less sense and maxing credit cards), so why not keep your long term mid-tier spenders happy?

I was agreeing with you until the insults… Really not required. It’s a shame because it takes away from the core point of your post…

Not insults, just the truth. If you take it personally, that’s on you.

YES! The core game mechanics in this game are brilliant and I love how it plays. Unfortunately, Zynga has turned it into just another money pit and is ruining a very fun game. I keep playing hoping it will get better, but I have no confidence that it will. I’ve been playing since August of 2018 and IMO the game at that time had a good balance of money generation and fun gameplay. Then Zynga took over and it’s been going downhill ever since. Every good addition they make to the game is now tied down with at least one (and usually several) predatory money making gimmick(s). Now they’re going after the old great stuff (Atlantis Rises). I’ve been done spending on the game for months and will probably be done with the game completely by the end of season 5 with how things are going.

Oh right, no insults at all. Insinuating that those who choose to spend on their entertainment and have the money to spend have no sense just because the company doesn’t do the things you’d like them to do for your $100 isn’t an insult at all. I don’t think you realize what $100/month actuality means to many people, which in turn makes you, according to you, lack sense just the same.

And you are also speaking the truth, if I take it as an insult then that’s on me. I was spending without sense for 3 years then I thought about it, came to some sense about it, and stopped spending. I don’t take anything you said as an insult even though that was your intention. I didn’t have sense, but now I do. Why would I take it as an insult that you are pointing that out?

I’m not insulted by your clear insult. You clearly have very little class and that’s on you :index_pointing_at_the_viewer: :+1:

Sure. If that’s what you think. Anyone that spends money on something they enjoy as entertainment isn’t lacking sense. Someone who looks back and regrets spending because it didn’t work out how they wanted it, does…because they did it without fully understanding what’s happening and setting their expectations much higher than they should have been.

Someone that spends hundreds and thousands clearly has the disposable income. And they do it because that’s what they want to do fully understanding what they’re doing and what’s involved…queue the crap odds and number of pulls needed for that specific hero and resources needed to level it so they can enjoy it immediately. That doesn’t sound like someone who lacks sense.

I’ll tell you who lacks sense…people who spend for a ton on pulls, get heroes, but don’t buy mats/resources they need, and build a back log a mile long then complain about it.

So no one ever spends money they don’t have (credit cards) because they’re addicted?

Oh, they definitely do. While I’ve seen people spend money they don’t have on addictions such as drugs, to fill their homes with top of the line furniture and electronics, cars, property, etc., but in my long years of playing video games I’ve yet to see someone mortgage away their livelihoods on a mobile game such as this. People that have thrown themselves in credit card debt have more than likely done it for reasons that have nothing to do with mobile games.

As soon as you provide any actual evidence of a widespread trend that people have ruined their livelihoods by spending on a mobile game (such as with drugs or actually gambling for that elusive jackpot), you may have a valid argument.

I am at 120+ pulls without Hotm

Can i get some credit to this?
This is my full quote! :laughing: :rofl: :joy:

Oh grow a pair . Of whatever you choose . there were no insults .perhaps ,you are an overly sensetive snowflake.
