I actually like ads in a game for rewards if they are worthwhile. The rewards they have come out with are not worthwhile. Ads can make it so f2p players can be competitive and still make the developers some money. You don't have to watch the ads they are voluntary to watch or not watch. 

That you do need them to be competitive is fucked. I can't think of anything more annoying and particularly dystopian than watching 5 minutes of ads every day just to compete in a game when simply playing should get you everything you need.

I love how new people don't even listen to our warnings about the game especially from a person ( Me) who had a 6,500  sq. level I have some of the highest level shit you could get, and yet I could see how the game was ripping off people back then.... and I've seen.. it's gotten to ridiculous brazenness to just flaunt all the brand new shit to people who you just destroyed their hangars. Platinum , have you no shame....I already know that answer. You had a game that if you hadn't screwed everyone in the game (p2w and f2p) you screwed everyone, and worse now, appeal with the cartoon ish crap appealing to the bratty kids to bug their parents to buy your lame shit... so glad I quit this game.. it'll never ever change... once you brought in pilots ( which NOONE wanted, then now you have a implant for everything, pretty soon you'll have a implant so a mech can take a crap.. just like this game ..
