It’s hard for me to put on my thoughts together here and explain the depth of our concern and frankly loss over the number of friends and other players that have been quitting right and left over the last month or so. After the new release of the Alliance Quest, I had 5 people give notice but they were going to permanently retire from the game. One of them left after War early this morning and the applicant that I had set up to come into the alliance message me and told me he was quitting the game permanently. The pace of events are taking their toll and we weren’t even pushing top 10 on the AQ we were just playing it for fun.
Between the combination of the pace of the number of events being released every single month, alliance events, new portals, new OP heroes, offers, and worst of all requiring spending of gems to obtain flasks to play the Tower Events… the later being one of the worst things of all. This issue of not being able to compete at a top-level without spending something is just painful, why do that? These people should be able to compete at the top as well. One of my players left because he got into the top 100 on The Clash of Knights and didn’t even get a five-star Aether. Whereas I who scored in the top 13,000 got five 5* Aethers. I mean I don’t know if SG is playing this game or NOT, but that is killing the desire to play competitively in these top players. When somebody spends that many resources to get in there and they don’t get ■■■■, that’s a huge problem. You guys have to do something to fix that. It’s just bad business. Why should people bother to compete at all? Think about it.
I assume that the developers have all the numbers, they have the statistics on people’s playing and spending habits. I mean we’re talking about big publicly traded company here. So this must be a strategy, but what’s happening is people are just burning out like very very fast and very expedited rate here. I know that if the game doesn’t go down the tubes like its seeming to, I can continue to play and spend money here regularly, but with the way things are going I don’t see that happening. And I am definitely a whale. Lol
I implore you guys to please make some adjustments. This is flat-out just sucking the enjoyment out of the game for those of us playing in the top right now.
