I don't want to read another thread about reflect and how fair or unfair it is so I'm not going put people through reading another one. This post is not truly about that topic. No, its really about something deeper.
If you haven't seen or heard by now, the latest wandering boss has some crazy hp. And the thing is kabam easily could have kept it around the same as other wandering bosses or even have its hp reduced so that all could get a better chance at winning the card. Instead they went in the other direction which seems to favor players who have the reflect combo. Hmmmmm.... It got me thinking, maybe kabam wants all players to eventually get that perk. And maybe they are making a point by giving such a benefit first to the players who paid for it and then later to the rest. The combo is very close to becoming totally free with some grinding. The only missing part is a 5* which sooner or later may appear in the summon pool and/or as an easier to gain might reward. So its like maybe they do want all to gain certain benefits, and maybe kabam does care for a balanced game, but maybe they just have a priority system.... But then I thought, what does kabam really want?
Does it really want a fair and competitive game? Well based on my experiences with them and the tone of many of the posts on these forums, I thought about it and it just became apparent to me- kabam doesn't care for the players or the game itself.
No, kabam just wants three thing, and when I say kabam I mean in general, not all the designers or social reps/gms who are passionate about what they do. Those three things are our time, our money and our compliments. And when you really look at it, thats fine because thats how some businesses operate. (I'm not saying its the right way but many businesses get very rich while bypassing the whole customer satisfaction thing). But what I want to say is that even though this app is just a game, it is not a game to kabam. It is way more than that and they are never going to stop wanting that commitment from players. Soon another feature, another combo, another bonus will become available that will give another advantage to players. And its like, if you're not willing to maintain your commitment to them then you will "fall behind" everyone. But its just a game. And if you are willing to make that commitment then do your thing and enjoy yourself. Just do not allow this game to become more than that. I think its important for players to keep sight of that all. If this app is becoming more than a game to you, then you should just stop now because you already are losing. Only when this app is just a game to you are you able to win it. Whether you play for free or not, don't let this game get the best or worst of you. You deserve better than that and even kabam employees would tell you that.
Anyhow, I know that may have seemed dramatic but I'm a thinker and writer and I enjoy sharing my thoughts at times. Good luck to all during the event. Til next time, JBJ God bless
