If they plan to keep on using new 4*s as the carrot to get people to play seasons, people will drop like flies. Nobody can sustain playing seriously in each and every PVP forever. Those 3 months for the three Fury covers is already pushing it. I hope they switch from a cover to HP or something else after season 3.

The tradeoff obviously being that it's less stressful to do your best periodically rather than just good all the time. Anyway, do you think there would be a dropoff in competition if it were *just* more Fury covers? (My guess is it still would be less, but not by a lot).

They wanted people to play the weak PvP system and created the Season thing. I don't see them coming back to a non-competitive system for PvPs. From what I understand, they don't care guys leave, when many more are coming in, with the new and more lucrative system. When the noobs are fed up, and if they don't get enough cash, then they will change the structure of the Season. I don't know for what reason, but if you look closely at the number of new Fans on their FB page, it skyrocketted in the last couple of weeks. Veterans will be fewer and fewer, and these are the ones constantly complaining. They only need to have them out of the game. As for the Hard Core players and whales : feed them with new characters every second week and they will be happy (that's my case).

Wouldn't mind a open-all feature however when you have 100s of tokens piled up. D3 has clearly decided withhold heroes from heroic tokens until most players can max out a character from tournaments (or cash) so these rewards other than fury are kind of silly. How about some new type of reward? *wild-card cover?*

Francky - add another one to the bracket of fun Oh and I saw you lurking with me at zero points at the bottom of sim already Yeah, I'm in that bracket too. I guess we all forgot that losing fights in sim counts as starting the season? At least I meant to wait until a day in to avoid exactly the bracket we all ended up in
