    I don't think I ever saw someone say "gee I wish PVE would take longer, but rewards stay the same", but of course I could be wrong.

    Well, it IS a little too easy for me right now...

    You could try doing your SCL10 with only 2 stars

    Yeah, but in like a week or two, all those guys will be 5*.

    I'll take harder PVE, but I'll want better rewards for it.

    The rewards are the same for all PVE events (3 day events, 4 day events etc) even though they aren't remotely close in terms of how difficult they are. So it's hard to see why you'd get more rewards if they changed the 2* Dark Avengers into their 5* counter parts as long as you still had to do the same number of clears as difficult ones like say Simulator.

    Sure.
    Let's bring back roster scaling why we're at it.

    As a softcapper you know I say Yes Please to that. But we both know that's not going to happen.

    On the other hand, they just sold a champed 5* for like $10 bucks (1->5 Iron Man) which virtually any player will be able to level up from 450 to 550 in short order (400 covers should be a few months time at most). I won't be surprised if more 1->5's are sold for $10 bucks.

    So way more players are going to be able to handle CL10. Plus players have long asked for a freshening up of the PVE enemies and they've mentioned making changes to CL10. I imagine getting ascended versions of the existing characters is on the horizon. It's the most no-brainer thing they can do.

    If they’re overhauling PVE, then I wish it was progression only so that I could try out fun new teams without being penalized for going slower. Plus, I don’t have to schedule my real life around a game!

    I don't know if dollar is so strong but I'd say the offer finishing in about a few hours is 20 bucks.

    You should have a lot of discounts. For me it's exactly 19'02 euros exactly

    I don’t have discounts, but I think you’re paying the Apple tax, which has become horrendous lately. I’m playing on Android.

    Really? It's £12.69 on Android. That should be illegal - it is more than 50% more. I bought the 1st level of the Shang Chi offer with the difference in price.

    For a time I played on my Android phone but also on an iPad. The day I saw the price difference I went "what the...?"
    Not buying anything Apple now. But I guess that’s off-topic.

    Or... you could just make the more generous rewards permanent?

    This is the only way to be fair to everyone.

    KGB

    Actually, no, it would be unfair to those who jumped on the occasion to ascend all they can instead of slowly maxing everyone. I’m afraid that’s a case where there’s always someone who will feel cheated.

    Treating everyone the same would be unfair? The only fair thing for everyone is to treat different people differently?
    I don't get it.

    It comes down to which opportunity works best for somebody, the ones who chose not to ascend with a non-maxed character were doing it to get a full set of different rewards prior to moving onto ascended rewards, whereas others chose to go for the other option.

    If you give that latter group the opportunity to gain all the regular rewards in addition to the elevated ascended ones then to be fair to all you would have to offer the early ascender group the option to break up ascended characters so that they could also get both sets of rewards too, which would add an additional degree of complication to the whole thing.
