Agreed. Free is free. No game will give away enough to a f2p player for them to rank No. 1. Even playing 24/7 365 you won’t be no 1 as f2p. What I’m disappointed with is playing for 5 years, and seeing other players who have played for two months surpassing my account. It is what it is.. and the thank you gift was nice, but it doesn’t make up for the years spent grinding and spending to have a two month old account be better. And they’ve only spent a fraction of what us old school have spent. Just my 2

Timewise, I agree these new super accounts have not shown the dedication or loyalty to the game as a 5yr grinder, but then they do spend a lot to build that OP account in 2 months, which is essential not only for F2P to be able to play, but the game to continue on. So in the end you have to decide where you fit into the equation and not be upset because someone decides to take the quick route by financially supporting the game. My personal pet peeve is that the packs provide so much resources that it is not necessary to play the game, which is not good for anyone.

I like the way you think. I think the same way. I’m new to this forum but I’m a big spender. I won’t say how much cause it doesn’t matter, but I’d say more than these new accounts have.. before we got a gem bonus. That’s just crazy. All shard heroes eaten, to feed heroes no longer relevant. I still love the game, and I’m considering buying lavanica, but I know how it’s gonna go. So I’ll wait till it’s skelly now. As far as the packs you’re right. It’s making the game less enjoyable long term. Instant gratification equals no sense of achievement.

Oh btw I haven’t stopped spending smh I have all heroes except Dora Boog and Lavanica, all heroes 5/9 talent or better (including 2nd talent for skins) All skins but 4. And two of them are SB and Artica. Not a priority lol. don’t know if you’re a Mod but you should be
