I totally agree with you Emitz. I had that feeling a couple of times. Starting, I think, a year ago, I stopped spending 2 or 3 times, but the game got me into it again and again. The only fact that I’m still here is, that I really love my guild and also, like most people, are very in touch with Disney.
You can’t even call this a grind anymore, it’s only P2W, and that for a long time now. (Maybe not for the newest server, but be warned, you’ll agree with us soon…) I don’t have the exact numbers, but I don’t think a F2P player can keep up 15 or even 5 heroes at cap right now, the stamina needed is just astronomical.
Also the fact, that the millions of influence earned by a guild, just vanish in the void without getting any useful perk (the 3% double drop chance is still for chapter 22 and lower, meanwhile chapter 40 is coming soon). I don’t have much experience with programming, but they once added more levels to perks, it shouldn’t be that hard to add some more. Even if it’s them useless war perks, adding 200 armor or basic damage for 1 Million influence lol.
At the end i wanna say, no matter how much you spend, if you stop spending, it’s nearly like you haven’t spent a cent at all, especially looking into PvP. With the stat boosts of badges being absurdly high, and every new hero has like 100x the base stats of firstly released heroes. You can only do well in PvP for about 2 patches, then you are way to far behind.
I don’t even wanna know how many money I spend, having like 80% of the heroes at R11, but can’t even hold up with lvl cap and skill costs, because of the lack of recourses we get for free. (I mean look at sign in rewards, or the fact that diamond crates still drop blue badges)
After all thanks for the great time Emitz, hopefully we stay together for a longer time (looking forward for Diablo IV). You are a really nice and friendly person, I’m glad that I came together with you and a lot of the people in our guild, even if we lost a lot of good players. Thank you for everything Emitz!!
