Post-banquet sentiments (KABAM SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE)

It's been a few days since the banquet event ended and everyone got their rewards. Some people may have forgotten what the event was like when it started and ran its course, but I did not.

The banquet this year was THE WORST banquet ever in the 10-year existence of MCOC. F2p, top, and mid-whale players alike all felt that this event was such a huge disappointment, a waste of time, and an outraging result of KABAM's incessant reluctance to heed the community's call.

When the event started, a lot of outrage poured. People who literally spent months and even a year grinding for units revolted over the EXPLICABLE HORRENDOUS crystal rates and their rewards. And despite all the clamors for rectifying the disgusting outcome that this very much long-awaited event of the year produced, KABAM chose to respond poorly--all while providing a very stingy and intellectually bankrupt rationale of why the banquet this year was like this.

Their in-game response? Put additional milestone rewards for those who will go beyond the maximum threshold for spending points in the event. Kind of stupid and ironic how they said that the reason why this year's banquet is the way it is is because they do not want to widen the gap between free-to-play players and whales.

If you inspect this argument clearly, it makes no logical sense to players in MCOC: f2p and whales alike. Whales have been waiting for months and years to have their first r4s, and regardless whether they like it or not, the game structure of gacha games dictate a very simple rule: THOSE WHO SPEND WILL OBVIOUSLY GET MORE THAN THOSE WHO DO NOT. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A DIVIDE. DULY SO BECAUSE THESE WHALES HAVE BEEN SPENDING THEIR MONEY. IF I WERE A WHALE I WOULD ALSO BE DISGUSTED IF I PAID A LOT OF MONEY AND DIDN'T GET ADVANTAGES FOR DOING SUCH.

It seems like after the momentum of the uproar and collective clamor of the community, KABAM has yet again silently discarded this issue aside. After several fuck-ups they have committed to this game and its community, are we really going to let this slide? Are we going to let this issue die down just because "it has passed"? I don't think so.

KABAM SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. They are greedy. They are tone-deaf. They will continue to do this to the whole community--f2ps, whales, content creators, and the like--until we demand what we deserve for playing and spending on the game. AND MIND YOU, THESE ARE ALL DELIBERATE ACTIONS ON THEIR END.

If you ask me, what should they do to compensate for the crappy event? Well, aside from a PROPER admission of their screw-up and apology for such, all players who contributed to the event must be given enough compensation. Something even better than what was doled out during Christmas. This is what the community deserves. This is what we deserve.

DO NOT FORGET. MAKE THEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHITPIECE THAT WAS THE BANQUET EVENT. LET THEM KNOW THAT THIS ISN'T LIKE OTHER IN-GAME ISSUES THAT WE WILL PASSIVELY FORGET.
