Events and Tournament Rewards
It would be nice if events and tournament rewards were more achievable. You lock most the epic and legendary tomes behind these events but push them out of reach for f2p and medium spenders. I have spent about 400 bucks on game and been playing for 2 months and I think maybe once I unlocked final reward in an event. And I think it was an easy artifact event. Champion rushes and training events are not realistically achievable for most players unless you have been saving up for a long time. Example one tournament after I bought a crap ton of ancient shards I was finally able to finish after leveling a crap ton of 4 stars I had been neglecting and it was close. Wasn't sure i would have enough. Sadly I am tapped on what I'm willing to spend on this game until I can see a shift towards balance. This game is alot of fun. But it leans heavily on the pay to win aspect. I don't see many f2p players having a remote chance of even competing with p2w players. Which to alot of people kinda ruins the game for them. I got a few friends to start playing and they quit before reaching level 30. I asked them why they quit and their reply was game was to focuses on money than creating a fair eco system. I don't mind that that p2w has a slight advantage. But not sure how f2p is supposed to compete against players with legendary faction guardians and fusions. I just got my 2nd legos and I'm 400 bucks in and that one was free. I have to constantly refresh arena to find players I may be able to beat. Most people I'm matched against in tag team are 70+ and even the people under 70 seem to have way more legendary than they should fully geared.
I've been making best of what I got, but I'm starting to get discouraged that even with my best effort and Medicare spending habits I will never be on level of most people with higher spending limits despite playing a better game. I have fun, but game is starting to lose appeal only able to get half way on most events. I imagine if I saved up everything for an entire month or two I could complete 1 or 2 events or maybe final reward on legendary tome tournament. But not looking good for the moment. I understand p2w brings money for development and helps game grow. But medium spenders like myself also add to life-force of game and their are many more of us than there are whales. So maybe making some changes that favor lower spending may help retain much of your player base. I could see people like myself just giving up after a while as it's hopeless. I know for every event I don't tap all rewards on, I will have to compete with those that did.
