Hello Lu! 

I'm sorry to hear that you don't like the game. We have a lot of events and Daily activities to develop the progress so every player can find something he wants. Also, we are currently working on many new features to make Mech Arena more interesting. Regarding matchmaking and pairing, we are also working on it and in the nearest future, I hope we will make it more comfortable. 

We get credits on credits and loads of pilot marks and implant parts. Of course it still isn't quite enough but it's all much closer to enough to keep up with our time investment than the rewards we get in a-coins which are getting tighter and tighter through f2p methods and more abundant to p2p. This effectively renders our other resources useless. Our progress stalls. It's effectively held hostage to a paywall. I raise this issue time and time again. And you always apologize for our dissatisfaction. Never apologize for the changes. As if the problem is how we feel about them. And continue on just making it worse. This game is impossible to play f2p anymore unless your hangar has lopsided SP. This is so ridiculous. Who do I have to talk to to get this to stop and why can't I talk to them? I'm not even f2p. I spend a little and I'm still having trouble. To actually keep up with your own time investment, you have to spend an unreasonable amount. Make the resources more available f2p or I'm refunding every penny I've ever spent on this game.

Correction:

I started another account with no money spent. This game is impossible to play f2p. Remember the post I made about power creep? How about the one about Orion? Well I don't have an Orion on this account.

Orion is the biggest staple of power creep. Most support and scout mechs want HP really badly. Orion though has significantly better HP than the next highest HP support mech (MD) and 50% more than the next most used one (Zephyr). It's faster than all the other ones too. That means 50% more than killshot. Killshot is one of the best f2p mechs. But it's a fly in current META. Orion doesn't have that problem. Zeph fell off since surge buff because of its low HP and Speed. And Orion has more HP than surge even. Surge is a great mech since the buff, but it's far down the progress path.

I hope that "new system of acquiring content" is a priority because I'm getting tired of waiting. PAYoff events were a not so cool distraction. And I want more progress path mech buffs too.

The game is definitely getting stale.  They keep introducing items to buy, but no new maps, not fixing issues with game balance or bots doing NOTHING during the game.  It's a skewed game.  Plus, they charge so damn much for everything.  $300 doesn't even keep you competitive. Now the clans?  Another unnecessary aspect that could be spent improving fundamentals. 

idk how long ya'll been playing, but i found this game about 2 months ago and i haven't gotten bored at all. 

I also don't spend much. like, almost nothing. 10$ for battle pass, then every once in awhile i'll pickup a 2.99 deal.

I got an EM16 rifle in my first month of the game by winning it in the research event.

yesterday I won an Orion in a research event. If you understand how those events work, you can easily win them, without spending cash, because most people don't seem to get or care how they work.  But anyone dropping 50 bucks on an item in this or any other game clearly has more expendable cash than I. so I guess YMMV.

Maybe people spending hundreds of dollars to win the game are finding themselves left unsatisfied. i don't believe that is the fault of the gameplay; its a result of having more cash than you need, and a system that exploits that cash flow.

Furthermore, I don't expect as much from mobile service games as i do from PC service games (MMOs for insteance), because imo they're casual. Meant to be dipped into and out of for short play periods. Idk. I used to play War Robots and literally you cannot progress in that game without spending  cash regularly. 

This game allows me to make meaningful progression without spending more than 20 bucks a season. To me, this is a fair service. 

I imagine things are different in the highest tiers of play, of course. if i ever get that serious about the game, to the point where i'm worrying about metas and shit, i hope i have the good sense to move on to something else tbh.

a lot of what I said still stands, imo, but I did recently come across a post on another forum, that listed all the bot names, and well. I figured there were a lot of bots, but wow. did not realize how many there actually are, even in div 1

like 90% bots.

I'm assuming at some point this changes to more human players, but they're all pimped out with p2w gear, and that's where the fun stops.

tbh, realizing how many bots I fight every day has made it less fun even now.

Boring,  not really.  I have differnt bots that create differnt game play.  I am a little concerned about the P2W aspect, and power creep that comes along.  

WHen you can buy a bot that outclases everything in the league you're in,  thats bad.  There needs to be something to keep that in check. 

Can you progress without paying,  slowing,  sure.  Nothing like War Robots, or Battle of Titians.  WR is garbage now,  and I don't want to see MA turn into that.  I am seeing somethings that are dangerously close

So once again payrium doesn't want to talk about p2w concerns and is gonna pretend they don't exist.
