HOW DARE THE DEVELOPERS DO THIS? I've spent 2.4 Billion dollars on MPQ over the past 2 days, and now they are changing the game to make it easier for poor people to compete with me? I quit and will never spend another cent on this game made by unprofessional uneducated bean counters who would rather sniff things than make a good game. This breaks the game & is an unfair change intended to ...

I'm sorry, I can't keep this up.

Sarcasm aside, I have to say that this is a great change. I expect this to really level the playing field and applaud the developers in this change.

    To be honest, this will just turn the game into a giant lightning round.

    I too applaud the developers attempt to fix a problem. I don't know if this is the right one, but I'm glad they are trying.

    This is not the problem I have (I just now have a 3* character with enough covers to level past 94) so I'm hoping they continue to fix issues like this, and the 2* > 3* transition.

    Thank you devs!

    Amen! While I've made it past that hump myself, I can see how that transition has grown more and more difficult over the past few months.

    The reason it is so difficult now is that they are introducing new characters every week or two. There is no way that anyone could really break through without dropping a couple hundred bucks now.

    Personally, I no longer get excited about new characters because I can't develop them or keep space for all of them.

    I dont think the transition get effect much. 2 * team always become the target and 3* team just dominated the PVP. No matter shield or not we are the target....

    No, because LRs don't raise your MMR as you progress. It's going to be way worse than a giant LR
