About necessity, and questions I need answered

I'm getting sick of plarium playing games With their answers. I'm going to put this the best way I can. I need this answered. I meed you to know I won't take that this can't be answered for an answer. Should the team refuse to answer, I'll consider it a sign of disrespect to the community. I'll tell you why before I ask the question so the team knows why this is important. So I need this message communicated to devs, and I need their most hones, straightforward answers. I need questions answered in full. I'm asking this here so the community may see the answers.

The biggest names in the AAA gaming industry would have us believe they couldn't deliver fully fleshed out, quality experiences without dlc for a long time and even without micro-transactions sometimes pay to win most recently and that's on $60 titles or sometimes $70 now. Both Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3 proves that's all BS. Now I know mech arena is constantly updating. So let's consider dlc to be the equivalent of say, pay to win micro-transactions. Now devs should know why it's necessary I get a good answer.

So devs say It's necessary to charge us to change our implants. Why is that so? So devs say it's necessary to eliminate the 400 a-coins entirely from the objective rewards for that vault blitz replacing playoff event? Why is that so? Could it ever be considered necessary to remove all the equally accessible ways to earn a-coins? Could it ever be considered necessary to remove a-coins as rewards for events entirely? Could it ever be considered necessary to remove the ability to remove a-coins entirely?

I need all these questions answered completely honestly. The answers to each of these is "yes", "no", or "it's not ruled out". In addition I need a why. Should I not be answered according to my requirements, I'll have no choice but to assume the team thinks the community is stupid. Should I not be answered the assumption will be the same.

Hello! You've provided really interesting information. However, we can't compare Elden Ring or Baldur's Gate with Mech Arena as they are simply different. The mentioned games are single-player titles for desktops and consoles. They were developed in different ways with different budgets, and they bring income to their developers in another way, so actually, everything about these games is different.

The mentioned changes were needed as the game didn't meet the balance we wanted to keep developing and updating. There are no plans to exclude all the ways of getting A-Coins.

Once again you didn't answer if it could be considered necessary to exclude all ways of earning a-coins and you didn't answer the other questions. I already accounted for the fact that mech arena and single player titles are different. That doesn't make them incomparable in any way. We're talking about necessity. If you say something is necessary in mech arena and won't tell us why, just that it is, then there is a similarity to single player titles for consoles. To say otherwise is BS.

If devs aren't going to answer, I have some unkind things to say to them. It seems they think the community is stupid. So I ask one more time, give me full answers. "Yes it could be considered necessary to remove all ways of removing implants or "no it couldn't" not "there are no plans to remove all ways to earn them. "Yes it could be considered necessary to remove all equally accessible " or "no it couldn't". I don't want to see the team trying to get around this question or arguing with my comparisons. I WANT REAL ANSWERS, NOW!

The answers I've already provided are set in stone right now. I can't say whether it may be changed in the future or not as the development is changeable. You didn't get my point about the difference between AAA single-player projects and Mech Arena. "The mentioned changes were needed as the game didn't meet the balance we wanted to keep developing and updating." - that's the reason and it definitely goes in an absolutely different way for the mentioned games.

I'm going to need an explanation of the balance you want to keep developing and updating. Just what does that mean? Why does it necessitate making it harder to earn what's often going to be less a-coins.

I hope you and the team understand the response you've provided so far on the difference between AAA single player titles does not change the commonality of unexplained or partially explained necessities. And as I said, turns out supposed monetization policy necessities for single player AAA titles aren't actually necessities. So you and the team should understand why I'm skeptical of supposed "necessities" in this continuously updating, multiplayer mobile title. I already addressed the differences. I understand they're different. That's besides the freaking point. I don't want to hear another word about the differences.

Also I hope you and devs understand you've just told me you can't answer whether or not mech arena will go full pay to win in the future. Which means you can't guarantee it won't, and that it's possible mech arena could become entirely pay to win. That's disappointing because I had previously seen devs state they are committed to making mech arena not pay to win.

My friend, you already have your "non-answer" answer, which should tell you what you need to know. They are not interested in transparency

Really encouraging to see the team give a non-answer, try to argue with me, and promptly ignore the thread when pressed. You ban me for how I act when I'm upset, but keep doing this infuriating bullshit. I NEED F***ING ANSWERS GOD DAMN IT

Hello! Explicit language and offensive behavior are prohibited on the forum. You will be banned if you still violate the rules.

Asking your question, the game has its economy and balance standards. To meet them, we are always experimenting with the Awards and stuff, so that's why the mentioned changes may be implemented or removed. Currently, you can earn A-Coins by:

  • taking part in the Events (both in-game and Community ones)
  • completing Objectives and Achievements
  • joining Tournaments, move through the Progress Path

Besides, there are always affordable Offers and the Mech Arena Store

So I thought the team had said they would be better about transparency but will for no good reason keep hush hush about why they decide to continuously make the in game economy worse. Just call it necessary and move on.

I hope they didn't think they could stop at the mention of a procedure and not explain it.

Also didn't I tell you "there are still ways you can earn a-coins and you could try spending" is a tone deaf response? I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT, I JUST COMPLAINED YOU KEEP TAKING AWAY WAYS TO EARN A-COINS AND I'M UPSET BECAUSE IT SEEMS ALL YOU'RE TRYING TO DO IS TAKE MY MONEY! ENCOURAGING ME TO SPEND JUST MAKES ME MORE CONVINCED OF THAT ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU WON'T BE TOTALLY TRANSPARENT ABOUT THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS HERE

I'm getting fed up. I said I need answers. I explained why I need answers and why I won't take a simple "these changes are necessary". I need full transparency here so the community isn't in the dark about why earning a-coins. I already explained why withholding information is disrespectful. I already explained I take the avoidance of the topic as disrespectful. Now we can add attemptjng to argue, which I thought the mech arena team was past, as well as repetition of tone deaf responses.


So how about this? NO RESPECT FOR PLAYERS FROM THE TEAM, NO RESPECT FOR RULES FROM ME!


I'll have you know, nothing really keeps me bound to your rules. I said before on another account that got banned, I'll just create another account. The only thing that kept me from blowing a gasket up until the point at which vault blitz was taken away as a source of a-coins was what seemed to be mutual respect and I felt I had a steady stream of a-coins while we still got it from vault blitz and the daily ads. But the thing is, not everyone got a-coins from them so I was being naive. If I hadn't been, I'd have the account just  banned, as well as probably 5 other banned accounts in the past 5 months. Because it seems you'd sooner ban players than be transparent at all. The only thing that can keep me from doing so now is mutual respect. We as players have never had that from the whole team. If there is mutual respect, it is between us and the community manager. Otherwise the respect goes one way.

I'll add that this team didn't respond to inquiries about changes in available a-coins at all for 2 whole years AT ALL, like the issue didn't exist until I threatened to take issue with the whole team. Now, I'm not getting responses on this topic AGAIN since I refuse to take "it's necessary" as an answer especially after 2 years of nothing and supposed "necessary" monetization in other games actually happens to be not necessary, and I wasn't going to let the team try and just say "well it's different for mech arena because it is" when I've already made the contrast and asserted my comparison is still valid. I'M ANGRY!

You mean to tell me there's a procedure for (supposedly) balancing the in game economy without telling me more? I thought plarium just squeezed the players when they thought they weren't getting enough revenue from sales. I mean as far as I know it could still be that, because I still don't know what's going on with this supposedly "necessary" continued reduction of available resources. And as far as I'm concerned, it shouldn't be necessary.

But the balance is so very very very very very much in Plariums favor. Your mechs are way better, faster and cheat outrageously. Yes you've stated before that mechs can't cheat, however as I stated devs can by programming them to never miss with any sniper weapon. They can't be dodged or run from and in many cases you're shot through a solid wall or an opening so small no human can ever do it without constant practice. 

You have taken away most means of earning acoin and are the most unethical ruthless, soulless, company I have ever come across.

Shame on you Plarium.

Shame on you Plarium.

The behavior of the bots has been described by me on the forum several times, and I guess you've seen it. Long story short: bots are powerful in that they are not real players, so to make them competitive, they may have way too good equipment and stuff. We are working on improvements to make the bots more human-ish and less powerful.

You are still able to take part in the Events (both in-game and Community ones), complete Objectives and Achievements, join Tournaments, move through the Progress Path, and stuff! Besides, there are always affordable Offers, and Mech Arena Store https://store.plarium.com/en/mech-arena/

Okay, I just wanted to find out why it keeps getting harder and harder and if according to the procedure if it might ever get easier.

I'm never coming back to MA. I'm just going to stay under the assumption MA is a cash cow for plarium and that's all they see it as and that's what I'll tell everyone else too, along with don't play MA. I'm not even going to call it a game, that's too dignifying. Since I don't know the procedure, I'd ask if there's a chance the amount of regularly available a-coins earnable by everyone would go up in the future but that never happens. It only ever goes down.

I'm done with this bulls**t. I hope plarium sees player count tank. I hope plarium sees MA gain infamy being considered a FAKE GAME!

Thanks for letting the community know MA team doesn't respect us and just thinks we should be complacent and accept the constant tightening of the in game economy as always necessary without question. I hope plarium gets infamy for being extremely greedy, it's deserved.

yet another kick from behind, and they don't care about the community. simply this., THE DECLINE IN PLAYERS HAS IMPOSED THE ELIMINATION OF EVENTS WITH MOETE A-COIN as a prize. to ensure that those who remain spend more and above all, do not accustom new players to having too many A-COINS as gifts, to ensure that they spend impulsively.. this is the answer they don't want to give you.. The game falls, it's in bankruptcy, they cling to the new ones, the old ones are kicked...
