Given the recent PVP changes, who's boycotting Time Season?

I'll play as much as seems reasonable given my schedule and other game goals. I've always been a primarily PVE player, only really picking up doing more than just the seed teams in PVP the past few seasons.

I will go to 900 for alliance goal and be done with it. I will not play double the amount of panthos games for same prize.

I don't know yet. Another fun part of the game is taken away from me. I honestly don't know what I'll do with PvP.

I am undecided. My cp hoard wants me to but my heart just isnt in it

Still way, way, way too early to see the impact.

I consider the previous two trials (both run off-season...!!!) to be the "alpha" test.

This season is the first true "beta" test.  Where real stakes are on the line...

I don't think 40 wins is impossible, but I still think it does increase my effort, and I need to grind in PvP - which doesn't appeal to me.  The first event is a new character, so I will be pushing for T1... will edit my post with the number of wins it took after the weekend.

I don’t understand the other option. I’ll play for my alliance, or I’ll play for CP aren’t really boycotting.  You’re still playing!

Also with this change there really should have been a I’ll play for progression, but not placement option. That’s where many fell before the change and where many more will fall now.

I'm going on a 1.5 week vacation in the middle of it.  Please don't take my lack of participation as a boycott!  LOL

"Screw this! This is TEH WURST IDEE FOR TEH GAEM NOT GUN PLAY well maybe just a few matches...heck I could just get the CP in every event, that wouldn't be too bad..." - everyone

I'll be aiming for 4* covers, if I have the time and it's something I can use.  Same as before.

My alliance isn't T100.  We're usually somewhere around 150-200.  So I don't have that kind of pressure.  I'm not pleased that the ending CP was taken away just as it became a reliable source, but for me it's a binary choice.  If I were angry enough about it I would just stop playing.  Since I still want to play, I'll play what's available until I don't want to anymore.  40 wins is a big slog, though, and I probably won't hit half of them anyway just because of the time investment.

I've probably played more this season already than I have in the previous two years here.

No option for playing more than in the past? I'll be playing, but haven't decided how often I'll do 16 wins for the CP vs. 40 for the 4*, or how often I'll shield for placement.

I will play. I will see how far trapcaking can take me (and it's fun - I am using obscure 3* now ). The goal remains the same - CP for 575 (or 16 wins now - a bit much but I will bite). I guess I might go for 40 wins if I like the 4* a lot.

I'm going to play this season and see how it goes. Will I get the 40 wins every event? Probably not, I'm not sure I'll have the time in my schedule. I've never played Versus that much in any event except the 2 tests. I did exactly 40 wins in the first and 81 in the 2 event season. The extra win was to push myself into top 10 in the second event because I was that close. I don't like the idea that I'm going to have to spend more time to get less rewards........

Hell if I know. I'm not adult enough to plan ahead. As is evidenced by my use of my time and choice of entertainments.

Boycotting? C'mon. Seems a bit much, grandiose and overblown. If the time requirement is too much, you'll play less or the same. And the game will not notice. Play less, the rest of your life may take notice, and appreciate it.

If you're advocating talking to my children, I'm out.

I played to the 575 CP before and I plan to play to the 16 win CP win now.  Given the past several seasons, I suspect it will take the exact same effort as before, so the change for my is pretty much neutral--possibly with the season progression totals being higher than previously, but that remains to be seen..

I hope it leads to an increase in silly teams trading counterattacks, but based on the second test, I doubt this will happen in large numbers...

I am boycotting

I guess I'm boycotting, since I'm not going to play it, or even join a season bracket. But that's not really the word I'd use...more like complete indifference. They made the decision to turn it into a grind, regardless of the feedback that told them not to, and I'm not willing to grind it. I'm sure they have access to other information that tells them this was a good idea...whatevs. Instead, I just champed 4 5*s and took a 5th one to lvl 435, and I'm just gonna take my shiny new toys to Story mode and crush souls with them, and forget the Versus tab even exists. More free time for other games, no reason to soft cap my characters anymore, and all I'm really giving up is a few tokens and 10 CP per event. I rarely went past 575 anyway, I find the PvP game to be boring, facing the exact same boosted characters over and over and over ad nauseam. A net positive for me...overall, no sense being mad about it, it's just a phone game...

I'm making Simulator a priority as feel 74 wins is reasonable for a season event. I'll also aim for the 166 wins ISO on the seasons rewards. I'm not planning to push it anymore than that.

I hit top 10 often enough, but I've never hit the 40 match requirements. It usually takes me around 35 matches to hit top 5-10. I'll either have to adjust my playing schedule accordingly, or just quit and start collecting Pogs again.

If it is like the test runs, I will just do the 10 or so seed teams, play the 30ish matches against actual players (which is close enough to my normal load for a PVP that I won't sweat the difference), and get the 4* every time instead of most of the time (I'll currently miss it on the tournaments that require more than 1-2 shields or lots of health packs).

Why would I boycott anything? If I didn't like the game I'd just set my phone down and go see what was happening outside, or something.
