Sorry Hound, can you explain this one please? I assume he means having points based AND win based progression.

HoundofShadow said: I rarely heard or come across employers raising wages to keep up with the cost of inflation. But I do hear and read about news about companies laying off employees, implementing some other cost-cutting measures or passing the increase in expenses to consumers when operation expenses are increased.
HoundofShadow said: Basically, it can be summarised as asking the dev to give more resources without forking out additional money or time for those increased rewards. Is this possible in the real working world? And is there an English term for this request?

But I do hear and read about news about companies laying off employees, implementing some other cost-cutting measures or passing the increase in expenses to consumers when operation expenses are increased. You’ve really never heard of people getting raises? Or heard of wages increasing to keep up with inflation? Yikes. The above chart shows how minimum wage has increased over the years. Notice how the red line is going up? That’s raw dollars a person makes. Notice the green line that’s all over the place? That’s raw dollars adjusted for inflation. Like I said, a dollar 30 years ago does not have the same value as a dollar today. There was a time when $2 an hour was enough to live off of believe it or not. That’s not the case now, so wages have increased. People make 4x that today, but aren’t working 4x as hard. Whether you’ve heard of it or not, I have two real world examples in the working world which is what you asked for. The developers still think a 4* today, with over 80 characters in the tier has the same value as it did when we had half as many. That’s a problem. We all agreed earlier that champ rewards (which include feeders) were the last big “minimum wage” increase we had. If wins based is your first and only example as to how the developers have sweetened the pot beyond that, then that is saying something. Many people myself included can hit 1200 without wins (I also do it without coordination), so not really a raise in rewards for many players. And FYI. We used to get increased rewards for pop up ads. The developers were nice enough to remove the ads, but removed the rewards as well, unless you were willing to pay real world dollars (these are the shield intercepts you get for 30 days after any purchase). Idk if this was before your time, but it was already a thing.
HoundofShadow said: The devs doesn't force all players to watch 15 to 30 sec ads while in the midst of playing the game, nor do they pop-up all of their current offer(s) in the players' face every single time they log-in to the game.with that overkill of ads i have a hard time imagining the game wouldhave a fraction of the playerbase. pretty sure I would delete mpq after 2days.btw, editing quotes is hard...

I've been playing this game on mobile for 4+ years and never saw an interstitial ad, let alone one that gave something as good as CP (even only 1 or 2 adds up).What era of the game did this happen in? Was this another one of their A/B test?

Was this another one of their A/B test? God my memory sucks these days. Let me think, it was in my early days of playing so maybe like late 2017 or early 2018.
HoundofShadow said: Anyway, I wonder what challenging alliance event the devs is going to come up with? The last one gave up to eight LTs. Maybe they could bring back MPQ players-based alliance or raid event where progression rewards are based on MPQ universe's progress as a throwback. They could modify the difficulty.
