"It’s the exact same grind as it was before, except now you don’t have to pour 120k+ points over 2 days to get the reward.
That is their fault."
It isn’t, because the point requirements are higher. You don’t need to do multiple rewards at the same time, which is good, but you also put the game in a state of permanent grind that isn’t desirable either.
Yes it is their fault that this system is ultimately grindier.
"And now the events are being strung out 2-3 months, and they allow players to be able to gain all of the rewards with relative ease.
The grind isn’t ridiculous, it’s how it has ben for the last 2 and a half years."
Only if they are willing to play the game nonstop with breaks of only 2-3 days in-between events and having to put in more points. The previous system was bad. This is also bad, just in a different way.
The grind is worse than it has been for the last 2 and half years, and for the last 2 and a half years the grind was already ridiculous.
“To… who? Are you trying to 4th wall here? Or are you on some autistigous main character bullshit?”
I was replying to TheCloop, who said that the person I replied to earlier was “not wrong.” Maybe next time read the post I replied to so you can actually have context.
“All you are criticizing it for is lengthening the grind to make it sellable. There have been changes to make it easier and less intensive, and yet you refuse to acknowledge those and instead cry about the fact that you can’t sell the vehicle with minimal effort.
Being too grindy? Where have you been for the last few years? Hell, not even that, it’s less of a grind than it has been…”
It’s more of a grind because it requires more points. It requiring even more grind to make it sellable is also an objectively worse system because the previous ones were sellable instantly without the need for any busywork. Why should I not be upset that I cannot, in your words, “sell the vehicle with minimal effort” when it used to be that I could always do that? If you have a reward structure in place and then replace it with a worse version of itself, I am not going to be happy with that.
The event quite literally slashed the amount of points you need for 100% reward by 3x. As I’ve said, you no longer need 120k in 2 days to get all of the rewards. You aren’t being overloaded with 3 different grinds across 3 entirely separate modes to get 3 vehicles in 1 timeframe, you’re given 1 vehicle type in 1 gamemode with 1 vehicle to gain for the time being."
You are focusing a lot on the fact that there are no longer 3 grinds going on at the same time, but you are ignoring the fact that my complaint is about how each of those 3 grinds not only takes longer now, but them being spread out puts the game in a state of constant grind with only 2-3 days between them, which is bad not just for people who want to do those grinds but for the health of the game as a whole.
“No, the entire point is to incentivize f2p grinding. It makes resale of the vehicle harder, while at the same exact time allowing people to get 100% rewards with the same amount of effort.”
No, the entire point is to incentivize people to spend money, assuming anything else is delusional. Making the resale of the vehicle harder also does not benefit the playerbase in any way. It makes it harder for people to get coins from reselling vehicles and makes those vehicles more expensive for those that want to buy them.
And like I already said multiple times, it’s not the same amount of effort but you need more points now.
“Can you fucking stop with the false equivalencies? This is an unimaginably easier event than quite literally every other event since they implemented the point-based system.”
Can you stop swearing and argue normally? This event is, at best, the same level of difficulty as the previous events just spread out over a longer period of time. You might see the spreading out of the events as an upgrade, but it’s ultimately a sidegrade, because, like I said many times already, it comes with the side effect of putting the game in a state of permanent grinding.
“Good. That’s the entire point.”
Why is that a good thing? You think people being able to sell coupons for coins and those coupons being cheaper is bad? Do you think coupons costing absurd amounts of money on the market is a good thing? Do you just dislike people who sell coupons? You failed to provide any reason to why that is good.
"It benefits those who seek to get as many limited-time vehicles as possible. It’s detrimental to those who grind these events with nothing but monetary gain in mind.
How is this predatory or “bad” in any way?"
It doesn’t benefit them because it only swapped out an intensive, but short grind, for a more relaxed, but much longer one. In order to benefit them the grind itself would need to have been made easier, not just more spread out. It’s detrimental to anyone who gets the coupon, because whether they are getting it just to sell it, or it being sellable is just an option if they don’t like the vehicle, they are both getting less value.
It’s bad for all the reasons I already mentioned. It’s a harder grind with lesser rewards whose only true upside, the events no longer being as stressful, comes with the caveat that now the game is always in event season, which creates problems of it’s own. If you want to “get as many limited-time vehicles as possible” now, you will have to play the game the entire year, essentially non-stop, or pay higher prices on the market.
" As I’ve said, you’re about 2 years too late to the party. If you’ve only decided to cry and whine about it now, then spew out false equivalencies using your metaphors as the only backing to a “bad event”…
Get the fuck out of here."
I was complaining 2 years ago, and if nothing changes, I will be complaining 2 years from now. I don’t care what nonsense you use to try and discredit my arguments or how you feel about me complaining. I am not leaving, and I am not going to stop.
Also, being disrespectful to someone you never met before and who has tried his best to be as polite as possible to you makes you look like bad. Tone down the arrogance.
