How much you can save by giving crates that don’t give the highest badges? There are only 3 badges in next rank that are older (= possible to get through presently gotten badge crates).
Meaning about 650 badges that one can get via badge crates in the next rank, anything else will result in badge tokens.
Not accounting the fact wish crates give a decent amount of badges needed for crafting of the badges of top and next rank… meaning the badge crates are even more useless.
If you can freely just max every hero in the game, will you ever spend? The only income would be people that like to brag with top placement in contests.
And even if they spend a lot, they will just have tons of borderline resources lying around and they can use some later.
Overall, not that much to keep the game around for a long time… and still the future of any longtime project is by the profit gain from it, so.
I just refuse to inherently go into this kind of talk. Cause at the end you can choose which products you want to buy and to not buy.
And in the end, those not bought will end up with the companies making them going bankrupt.
Besides, having everything maxed isn’t really that fun and new ranks are basically the only way left to not have things maxed.
