Gameplay

A lot of valid criticisms brought up that I agree with. Let me elaborate on a few things that I think need changed or improved:

1. Faction Feud and SD. That's all. It's a weekly rotation between these two events, for the better part of 5 years. Look at another wrestling game, WWE Supercard. They started out with two weekly events and they're up to I think 6 or 7 now? Champions can't even come up with one more weekend event that stays in the rotation for more than an iteration or two?
2. Farming. Or lack there of. It's basically useless after about 4sb or so. No way to get any usable amount of TP or coin when a single move takes 300+ TP to level up or it takes 1mil+ coin per level. 5x or 10x TP or 5k coin simply doesn't cut it anymore. I guess I can get more 2ss tokens that have pretty much no use now?
3. Lack of scaling. I think the game started with max 3ss? Or maybe even 3sb? Either way, back then a health pack healing 10k HP was fine as most wrestlers needed 4 or 5 to fully heal. Now, we've got wrestlers with 100x as much health yet no long-term solution has been implemented. Instead, the solution is just needing thousands or tens of thousands of health packs in case a team gets wiped out during feud. Same thing with some trainers, move damage, etc. Since move damage increases linearly while HP increases exponentially, anyone over about a year old that wasn't top top tier is basically useless. A move that scales up to dong 50k at 5SG might as well not do anything at all. Trainers like Razor Ramon (max +150 purple damage) suffer similar issues.
4. Effort =/= rewards. Every weekly character is basically obtained one of three ways - Lucky bag pull, Lucky Loot pull, or getting 75% of the shards and then paying out the nose for the other 25%. None of these methods has anything to do with actual effort, especially since most contests can simply be completed by spending with no/minimal gameplay. There's simply no way to grind for a character.
5. Unclear long term goals / FOMO. One of my biggest gripes is that I never know what's going on in the game. The calendar is almost always wrong, outdated, or just a copy/paste mess of errors. I have no idea when, if ever, shards of incomplete guys will be available until a day or two beforehand. There's no clear path for getting the MLC chase character, as shards are just haphazardly thrown in events and not revealed until last minute. For instance, some weekly characters might have 50x or 100x shards in a prize wall the next week, others might not have any shards available for months. So I don't know if I should spend for those last 100x shards that I need or if I'll get them for free in a milestone two weeks later.
6. Shard System Overall. It's just a mess. It's basically a trap to get you to pay $$$ for something that has no actual value unless you have enough to reach the arbitrary milestone. Once a character is unlocked, you either get so few shards as to be worthless, or so many shards as to be unusable. 95% of the characters I unlock are from pulls, and half the time once I get enough shards to unlock someone, its months or even years later and they are barely relevant anymore.
7. Loot pulls. The worst of the worst. Completely deceptive to the point of being nearly criminal. Just as an example, I think Typhoon was a "featured" in every loot pull this week. A free character from two years ago. How great would it be to hit that 1% jackpot and get Typhoon? Since we don't know the actual odds of every individual card, there's no way to place any type of value on a number of loot coins. The weekly card is almost guaranteed to be a 1 in a 1000 pull or less. Even the "guaranteed" rares, very rares, or mega rares turn out to be nearly useless shards 75% of the time, or the same extremely common wrestlers at 4sb or 4ss the other 25% of the time.

I could go on and on, but I think that's enough for now.

@The Modfather J In case you were curious, you've got just over 4.3 million excess shards on those screenshots alone. Let's say every one of those was a 4sb pull (about average these days, but generous overall), and half came from free league pulls (also generous). That would equate to approximately 1800x paid pulls. Averaging $2.50 a pull, that's very conservatively $4,500 in pulls that have provided you zero benefit. I'd estimate it's probably twice that, but the point stands. Almost $5k that literally is completely worthless. :)

@The Modfather J Oh, I am aware of how much all that costs, as I'm not immensely far behind. I'd estimate that VIP 11 is about $10k, VIP 12 is about $25k, and VIP 13 is about $50k. I'm just pointing out that those you had in the screen shot are literally the worst of the worst (at least two years or more out of the current meta), and really shouldn't be in any loot past VIP 7 or so, and certainly not in any type of paid pull, and CERTAINLY CERTAINLY not in any type of premium pull. The fact that some are still considered "featured" is just ludicrous. Yet, here we are! :)
