Boycott the VIP

Leadggb

The devs have had poor communication to the community that has been far too loyal to them. The latest PVE test has shown that they simply aren't listening to us. This VIP system is the latest example of them not addressing the major issues of this game. I propose that everyone boycotts the VIP system until they at least recognize that the following issues exist:

-The ISO shortage is more extreme than they will admit (an extra 10k ISO over 28 days is a drop in the bucket, and advertising the 2* max champ sell boost as a huge ISO gain, when it is still a net ISO loss to rechamp them is a joke. An extra 1800 a day from alliance participation was nice, but it is still a drop in the bucket. It takes ~300k to level a 4* so they can be usable the week they are buffed. The limiting factor on progress is ISO, by a large margin, it doesn't matter how many covers/tokens/hero points/command points the players earn at this point) giving the VIP members an ISO multiplier would be a HUGE step in solving this problem (instead of the incredibly small band-aids they have been putting over it.

-Players are punished for progressing their roster in pve. As your team gets higher level, the enemies also get higher level, and you play in more competitive brackets for the same rewards. There needs to be something to address this. This is how RPG's work: your characters get higher level, defeat tougher enemies for better loot, repeat. There needs to be a system where PVE enemy levels and ISO rewarded are directly correlated.

-Players are punished for progressing their roster in pvp. The increased MMR means that a superior roster cannot hit other players that are unshielded at the same point value as them, in their own bracket. If they can not play against each other, they should not be competing for the same rewards. It has been shown that rosters softcapped at 375 have an easier time getting to 1300 than rosters at 425 or 450. This is counter intuitive and needs to be addressed.

I'm not saying we should boycott the VIP until these are addressed. I just want a dev to at least acknowledge that these issues exist and that they are working on solutions, which they have refused to so far. They have decided we don't get communication, and I say we vote with our wallets until they show us they are listening.
