15000 per hero? Hello month of tedious grinding. | Forums

It is for people like you that are willing to pay for everything that these company milk us...

15k is way too much, it is a marketing strategy to force people to buy season pass and make it look like a good deal!

15k is too much? Right... People pay 15k steel for outfits. 15k for a non-base character is not that obscene.

As I said above, steel is very easy to earn if you actually put the effort into trying and (surprise!) you don't have to pay a cent of real world money to get them!

Yes, I did buy the season pass. But even if I hadn't, I still would have saved up my steel and bought the Shinobi for 15k steel when it was released.

Folks are complaining for nothing.

I play 2-3 hrs a day every day and I do all the orders all the time. It takes a week in this way to save 15k. But I also want the new execution. Steel is never enough because they find a way to tempt you in different ways, champ status, execution, emotes, new characters.... the play time to unlock them is so high that you are constantly tempt to buy. It is a proper marketing strategy and people fall for it.

We will see this Trend increase and increase if we don't try stop it.

Try to stop it?

They have already increased steel gain from completed games, daily orders and contract orders not too long ago to increase people's ability to save up enough steel faster. They also do community orders that often grant a 2k steel reward that you can get even from not logging in during it before it finishes. *AND* they gave everyone a free 12-day champion status at the start of this season plus 4 scavenger crates.

They also significantly lowered the cost of upgrading equipment at the start of the season.

I guess the old saying "You can't please everyone" is true.

I cannot believe you do not understand. It is behavioural economics at its best. They make it look like you got a good deal and you do believe you got a good deal...

Steel is not a currency, if they give more steel it is not like they are doing me a favour. if you want a ranking game, then steel should only be gained by playing, and not by real money. In that way you have a sense of progress.

If you can buy it with money, it is not to give a sense of progress but it is only for profit. Clash of clans is the best example. They are a very small company with the highest profit in the mobile games.

Ubisoft moreover opted for peer to peer to reduce the running cost but still get the money from steel therefore have a constant income.

They milk us and they are good at it, but if you let them milk you, at least be smart enough to recognise it and not to act as it it the most normal thing in the word
