Dupe system and Empowerment
So I understand that the prevailing arguement is that if you arent already spending top dollar, then it doesnt really affect you anyway. But my real question is this.
Why is plarium devoting all these resources creating content for the top 500 - 1000 players. Wouldnt they be better off creating content that appeals to a wide variety of people? If say next year Plarium does the unthinkable and actually focuses on PVP like they said, and maybe even brings in actualy RTA and Draft RTA. Isn't the empowerment system basically saying if you dont spend thousands of dollars on this game you will never be able to compete? Wouldnt more people spend money on this game if they felt they had a chance at being competitive?
Why is RTA Not already in the game. Summoners war NAILIED PvP, guild and regular. They have arena, world arena RTA. Exhibition RTA where u can challenge a friend. They have better socials. They have friends list. You can look at other players champs. You can see all kinds of stuff about other players. They did all of this in about the same time that they were around as raid is now. Why is Plarium sitting on their hands? What are they doing with all this money? Why are they not listening to their players? How can someone spend 5k or 10k on this game and still get outright destroyed in arena or tag arena? Why is CvC Just a huge cash grab? The only thing people spend more money on than gambling is a competition. If CvC Was a pvp style guild battle, people would still be spending tons. If RTA was a thing people would be spending even more. But RTA where one side has all empower +4 units vs a regular non 100k+ spender people are going to be like whats the point.
They have this Faux-competition mindset, "Tournaments" where all you are really competing with is how much you spend. Same for events. They add feasts and barrels again finally and literally hide them behind paywalls in 'summon rush' 3000 for a barrel? 7500 for a feast? Are you kidding? All the 'competition' in this game has very little to do with skill and everything to do with how much you spend. Sad.
RTA would make this game better.
Guild PvP would make this game better.
A fair playing field would make this game better.
Actually listening to the majority vs the minority would bring more players, and more spenders.
I feel like plarium doesnt have a long game. It feels they are squeezing every penny they can out of what could have been a GOLD MINE. Why? Why such short sightedness? I know they look at the competition. I know they look at other games and see awesome game modes and how cool they are. Why can they basically carbon copy pve ie:. Campaign, a lvl 1-10 or 15 or in raids case 1-25 dungeons. Gear stat rolling systems.. BASE arena . A 100 level "DOOM TOWER". Summoning systems, butg they cant copy the awesome parts of other games? They can copy all the BAREBONES basics. It feels more and more like all this game was meant to be was a short term, cash grab And when it became popular they didnt know what to do. Now correct me if im wrong.
Raid did do some things right, and i love the game, but all i see every time i play is wasted potential, and plarium not listening to the player base and it makes me really sad. Everyone really wants this game to be awesome and everyone keeps waiting for it to fulfill its potential. I see it in the hope of players in chat, in guild, on discord, on the forums. I see it with how nice and helpful the mods are and most of the playerbase I Have met in the game.
We see the potential, We love the game, and we are waiting. Don't let us down .
