I worked really hard on this Palarium, are Events really only for paying players?
Hi
This is the first time I have really tried hard for an event, as FTP for over a year I knew it took time but now I beat all levels dungeons, Gold 5 Arena, NM Clan boss daily, etc. The champions in this event looked good and I read the news saying there were 140 fragments for each Epic which is good because weekends are for family and not for chain playing games.
Well, Plarium. I worked really hard and got everything done, the summoning took all 40+ Epic shards I had saved up. I even got in the top 3 -5 for tournaments and got the clan mission done. I missed the top drop in the dungeon event because I had a kids party and gardening to do. Now I have just seen the shard event, which I was hoping to skip after the summoning, but now I see I need 3k points or 6 Sacred Shards !!! When i look up more about the event I see that there is really no way to get the champions without this event.
Not only was the "140 shards " completely misleading, but looking at the numbers it seems like you have actually designed the event to be unavailable without paying, leaving everyone else with 95 shards for life. Now I know if I actually send you the feedback you will say all the ways you can get free shards... I get 1 about every 2 weeks from clan boss and when I progress a bit more in hard Tower I will get another couple. Maybe it is possible to get 6 for every event.
But you recently took away the Sacred shards as a login reward because you said you wanted them to be 'Special' awards for achievements and not just a currency. Well, here in events you have made them into a currency because they can be bought and traded and their value is what they buy you at an event and not the possible legendary rewards. Why else would people spend them in an event with no 2x reward to increase the chance of legendaries?
Now even if this was the case then I could accept it, if there had been some way to know this before the event started. But how on earth was I supposed to know that I would need 6 Sacred shards? I did not know where the shards would be distributed in the rewards table. You made it seem like with 140 shards I could actually miss an event if I was busy. Could you not have just been honest about it? Like
Plarium
"There will be a total of 140/100 shards available for each champion"
Translation for family guy
"hey, these events give very special rewards, but look you need to be end game to participate, or be willing to spend a bit of money. We know that is a bit tough, but we need to pay the bills and in return you get great new content in a few months. If you arent end game with plenty of shards in the bank then just work on your progression and don't waste resources on Friday and Saturday, just hang out with your family instead... thanks for understanding"

PS.
Like I really believe the reasons you took away the legendary shard from login rewards now!
