Constructive Criticism
I think it's fair to say that MVP wants to remain a F2P app. You can pay but you really don't have to. If someone chooses to drop some money and overnight have a beast team, go for it.
Constructive Criticism: I really like what 'TheVulture' states in the GThor thread as *Gold characters could be an add on feature but how does this work as the character pool is increased? I could see the *Gold feature as simply a boost, only achievable when characters are maxed. This would encourage agents to level all characters and if they dare spend some HP, or Real Ca$h, can choose to *Gold them.
Here's my idea that I think would be beneficial to both parties. The store. You have 3 common pages: starter characters, standard packs, heroic packs. One of the main problems, regarding characters, that I've seen on this board is that agents want certain characters but aren't up to spending the money. So then you, the developers, thought 'ok we'll guarantee them that character, plus all of these other ones.' (ie Hulk Event: Purchase the 10x pack and get a guaranteed character). Why not add a page to purchase specific characters themselves? (The only time I see anything like this is during the Villain LR where you can buy 1 of all 3* villains.) Make it like a QVC special. Say once a day or week, the store has a new page specific to a character that doesn't last long but guarantees you a cover.
Yes, there is already a similar feature on each individual characters bio where you can buy specific covers. But there still looms the problem 'what if someone doesn't have all the covers for that character yet?' Then win some tournaments and hope to win the reward that will resolve the problem. I do this and I'm sure most of the nearly 100k active MVP users do too (stats via Hulk 3.0 event with 4 days remaining)(Notice developers, this is the free way to progress). But don't you, the developers, want my money? Create a feature in the store that allows the agent to buy a specific character.
Example: For 12 hours only, you can buy JUST a BP cover. Even better for the developers over the agents, make it a random cover for that character (ie Yellow, Blue, or Black for BP) What about the agents that already spend some serious cash on this game and could just buy and buy and buy until they have every cover for BP? Two options: 1. Let them eat the cake. You're getting their money. (Agents saying the game won't be fair anymore? Fair goes out of the stark tower window when you're a F2P app and allow people to spend money to progress faster.) 2. Limit x amount. (1 seems plenty) Examples of this are the starter characters as well as when all of the agents of shield collect enough points to unlock a match to win a guaranteed Hulk cover in the Hulk tournament. Now both veteran and rookie agents can be pleased while you, the developers, are getting paid!
tl;dr
Create an option in store to buy specific character(random cover) for limited time. App gets agents' money. Agent gets the character they want.

I really dont think we should be willingly giving the devs ideas on more ways to fleece us of our money, they have proven more than capable of that themselves.
Besides this would remove the main point and fun in the game, collecting the covers! The whole point is that some covers are rarer than others, and sometimes you will go months without even getting one cover (i have been playing for about 3 months every day and only last week got my first Ragnarok, Hood and Loki covers!) But that is the exciting part, the anticipation of opening up your tokens, it may be frustrating to get another MStorm when you have long since maxed her out but i would much prefer that than paying to instantly get the cover i want with no anticipation, no excitement and no fun!0
