this game is HIGHLY geared toward $$$ spenders. while FTP may be possible for lvl 10 and 40 on doom tower, lvl 50 is VERY difficult. I still cant beat level 50. i have now tried mutliple hero's, multiple gear sets, and still cant kill him.
I have spent a little bit of money on this game, but will spend no more. i spent the money to do the Raid Card to try to get more silver and xp. the problem. if you cant devote hours and hours to this game every day. the raid card is crap...
I have a few good champs, and many crap champs. what's the difference? gear, masteries. While keeping in mind that not all hero's are created equal. a GREAT hero is complete and utter garbage without gear and masteries. So how to get gear? farm. how to get masteries, farm. to get silver, farm. farming takes time.
i have a full time job and a part time job. Neither of my jobs are RAID. i cant devote hours to this game everyday as it needs. therefore i cannot advance. therefore i will not spend money.
but here is my beef.... doom tower on normal should not be near impossible. doom tower, hard, ok, make it harder. go for it. i completed Normal last session and couldn't pass hard stage 6 with my current champs.
with all the negatives of this game, grinding for this grinding for that, grinding for grinding. The lack of energy to do what is needed in this game. the slowness of the battles, even on 2x, the bad rewards and now the conflicts with doom tower, i personally know several players that have quit this game because the devs take too long to listen to the community.
removing the daily login reward that people were happy with and replacing with stuff people are not happy with, causes several more friends of mine to quit this game. Several more are on the fence with quiting over the new doom tower bosses.
so, while FTP may be possible, people dont want to spend all their silver, they've been saving up to build out a new hero, to re-build a current hero, only to find out that it wasn't enough to attain a victory.
MAKE GEAR REMOVAL FREE, THEN PEOPLE CAN TRY ALL THE GEAR SETS/COMBOS THEY WANT. but to removing gear from a hero is WAY too expensive.
