I am a free to play player. Haven't spent a dime. Love the game and am passionate about it. I play 10-20 matches a day. Have never had any problems getting Fortune Keys.
So what you are saying is that this event, which is replacing the Fortune Vault and it's guaranteed 400 ACoins, will only give me at least the same amount of ACoins IF I'm in the top 1% of players? AND I'll only get ACoins if I'm in the top 1.5% of players (I have to be in the top 3 out of 200 players)? Really?!?!?!?!?!????????
Look, I'm truly free to play. We all know that the match making is a little screwy, so if I'm a great player at my hanger level of 3500, I'm getting put up against people with hangers in the 3500-5000 range for tournaments. There is little chance for me to gain ACoins from tournaments. You are taking away the only solid way for me to get a decent chunk of ACoins in a month.
This is a fun game to play. I really do love it and wouldn't waste my time typing this message if I didn't care. But things are not in the best place right now. Lately I've been rage quitting during tournament nights because of too many matches against opponents who are too over geared for me. I can win 60-70% of my matches if my opponents are within 500 power of me, but will get destroyed if their hanger power is more than 1,000 above me. There is no incentive for being a crafty, skilled player - it's all about how big your weapon is, not skill. But still I come back, because someday - SOMEDAY, I will have enough ACoins to purchase better items (when and if the gear hub shows up). And now you are making that someday a lot further out there.
When you take away my opportunity to gain ACoins, or reduce that opportunity to only 1% out of 200, it forces me to ask, do you really want me to play your game? Or do you only care if I'm paying?
If it is the latter, please just tell me. I'll be happy to quit and save myself the stress and frustration of dealing with this and I'll save you the headache of dealing with me.
