spidyjedi84 said: Like I said, anyone expecting vast amounts of shards coming from the developers, look back to what we got with supports and RISO. Notice those amounts of RISO never flowed at the promised levels from D3 for those of us who bought into the concept of Supports.

Might just park it at Hawkeye to get the 20 Kate covers I need to finally champ 5* Hawkeye.It used to be I'd just select whoever gave me the LT or 4* next.And the irony is not lost on me that I'm using 3* shards to earn a 4* to get 5* feeder covers instead of directly sharding the desired 5*. Not to be all negative but.. how disappointing will it be if you pull the 5* Hawkeye you need and now those shards sit unused on the 3* and 4*? It would surely be disappointing, but it would also be impossible. I don't pull from special new release stores except for the earned new release tokens and I only pull from Latests. Ain't nobody got time for classics dilution. You don't pull from the pop-up stores with 3 older 5s? Nope. An extra champ level on older 5s is not worth the CP investment. I need all of my CP for chasing Latest 5s.The only time I broke this rule was with the Carbage store since I had neither Goblin, nor the third 5* champed. Can't remember who that last one was because I never pulled that third character's cover. I went 3 for 43 in that store with no 5* BH and 3 4* BH. Fairly garbage pull rates overall.

abenness said:Overall, I'm disappointed and frustrated that there is so much negativity in this and the several other threads. It's fine for us to express our opinions, but I'm not finding it helpful to see the same thing over and over. MPQ has changed. Now it uses shards. Please can we be a bit patient as the rest of this is rolled out, and we see how shards get integrated into other parts of the game?

HoundofShadow said: Last year, the devs already predicted that players in this forum will have problems handling partial information. They will be unhappy.
HoundofShadow said: If the dev didn't post any updates or the plans they have for the game, they get accused of ignoring the players' feedbacks, remaining silence, have poor communication skills, doing nothing to solve problems or repeating that the game is shutting down.If the players here can't behave rationally and choose to behave like it's the end of the world, then I think it's much better for the developer to keep quiet and post only when they have the full details of updates to come, rather than giving partial updates.I think it's a mentality and attitude issue.

Maybe but that doesn't answer my point in any way or form? If the Developers know that certain behaviour by them will be received negatively on the forums and have this advance intel...why did they go completely against it? What result was expected other than the one that you say they had already predicted? Isn't there a quote out there about something to do with learning from the past?
The rockett said: abenness saidMPQ has changed. Now it uses shards. Please can we be a bit patient as the rest of this is rolled out, and we see how shards get integrated into other parts of the game? I have an issue with this statement, and this is why. Supports had potential, yet they walked away from them. Support Circuit has potential, yet they walked away from it. Alliance Rush events had potential, yet they walked away from it. 5* Feeders had HUGE potential, yet they walked away from it. Updating feeders in 3/4* tiers, yet they walk away from it. Rebalancing broken characters OR buffing older ones, yet they they walked away from it. Boss Rush had potential, yet they walk away from it. Gauntlet was a fan favorite, yet they walk away from it. Bonus Hero’s was a huge release when they brought it out, now they change it to shards in part to make money on it. Costumes to be “earnable”, but they walked away from it. Costumes in VIP, yet they walked away form it. Updating Lighting Rounds from 3+ years ago, yet they walk away from it. Saakar Lighting Round event got a huge response, yet they walk away from it. Making the Anniversary and huge and special event, yet they walk away from it. Please explain to me why I should put blind trust into the Dev team when they in no way layout a full game plan for where they are going to introduce shards into the game? This isn’t negative, this is the truth and their history, not ours.
Chameleon said: I'm concerned by the repeated use of "the players" as though we can all be lumped into one pile. Also, I don't personally view anything in this game as "end of the world". I am giving feedback. If it were the end of the world then I certainly wouldn't care about a mobile game. I'm perfectly able to walk away from MPQ.

We are all interested enough in this game to play it and post about it on an online forum.Beyond that there are a ton of differing opinions and variety of player desires on how to change or improve the game. Which I'm sure is the same with the people making this game. But we always lump them into one entity of the devs.

But we always lump them into one entity of the devs. Here is but one direct example of what I was referring to when I voiced my concern:"... the players here can't behave rationally".There are many more examples of this but I'm far too tired to go seeking them all to copy here.
I would normally agree with this 100%, the only thing that makes me think that the Developers do use this forum for enhanced customer feedback was the end of "Tapping". I couldn't even have told you what tapping was without the forum and I have been playing this game nigh on 4 years. I mean if the Forum represents a tiny percentage of active players then the percentage affected by tapping must be barely a blip. Yet it was addressed. Maybe this was on their radar anyway, dunno but there was a fairly active and regular campaign on here against it.
