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.

OJSP said: My personal feeling is, this type of people won't be satisfied with anything anyway. People can be hard to please or overly critical for many reasons. Some people can even find tiny faults in everything (so they could be very good at certain jobs).Having said that, feedback is feedback, as long as it's constructive and reasonable, the developers could still use their ideas. Being too negative would just put them off from reading past the first few words.
Daredevil217 said:To the people saying, "we now have control! Waste is 100% preventable!" that was true under the old system as well. Old system = just don't BH someone with 5 colors. New system = just don't ever pull Classics, spend in pop-up stores, or target anyone with a feeder. Both are restrictive. Just because this fits your playstyle it doesn't mean other people's reactions to this are invalid. I feel like all feedback needs to be heard. HoundofShadow said: 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. Also, I need to point this out because it goes on far too much. I don't see anyone here acting like the world is ending. Many people are upset, but within proper context. We all know "this is just a game" and I don't see anyone equating their anger toward these changes with the world ending. You keep throwing out "the players assume this", "the players say that", "the players behave like this", when you don't really know. And these hyperbolic statements like "choose to behave like the world is ending" actually add very little to the productivity of these threads. If you are going to make these global, dismissive statements about "players", then please give some context as to where your own assumptions are coming from.Aside from these types of assertions about others, all I'm seeing is feedback and suggestions. If it "feels good" we call it "positive feedback" if it "feels bad" we call it "negative feedback", "criticism", or even "attacking". But at the end of the day it is all just feedback. If it goes beyond that, that's what we have Mods for.As Hound likes to point out, the devs have data and metrics that none of us players do. It is possible I am in fact in the minority. Maybe I'm one of few 5* players who thinks Bishop is a problem, one of the only players who thinks communication around here is awful, who wanted supports to be reasonably attainable, who likes character re-balances, pop-up stores, Bonus Heroes, and all the other cool things The rockett mentioned, that players seemingly loved that were taken away. It could be just me and a handful of others. Or... maybe the ways in which they collect their data often misses things. Or maybe they think they are solving a problem for the majority of the players, but don't realize that in doing so, they create new ones. So to all the people who defend the developers, say they feel sorry for them, and tell other players how they feel, why they are frustrated, and what they are assuming, it would be way more productive to say what YOU like and dislike, so they have that data rather trying to invalidate the opinions of others. MY assumption is the developers are full-on adults who don't need people holding their hands or fragilizing them.

Daredevil217 said:So if it were me, I would try to make the game more friendly for newer players (increase rewards) since many in the end game can “keep up” as is. But I understand it isn’t an easy problem to solve. Edit: it might be helpful for their data to ask WHY people spend. I know tons who will spend even if they don’t NEED to (no choke point) as well as those who refuse to due to perceived bad customer experience, even if they are at a choke point (me currently with Hero Points).
crackninja said: OJSP said: If a 5* character has some shards already while a feeder is announced for them, wouldn't it be better to continue until we get the cover? Considering we'd get a steady stream of covers from the 4* feeder, I'd argue we should continue until we eliminate any left over shards. Then, we could move on to the next one. I understand it's going to be a very slow process, but recycling a 4* or building a duplicate 4* is an option if we play long enough and we will get more 5* covers from the champion rewards. That one cover for the 5000 iso from lvl 452 reward could be what gets us faster to the next LT. What I think is ultimately going to happen is we will.be getting some quantity of shards for all 5*'s from rewards. So we will get value from these shards eventually. It will feel like a waste to see shards we purchased or got from opening tokens get lost in the ocean so to speak, but it's a sunk cost at that point and for me it will really just depend on how close to getting that cover I am. Most likely I'll cut bait, because my one and only goal at this point is to champ them all.

If it were there since the beginning then it wouldn't be a problem. I'm not complaining that it wasn't. Growth is necessary. This is actually pretty good for newer players.. sort of. See my post above about roster slots.Sadly, for the 5* tier, and the 4* to an extent, with new characters always coming, this will always be a grind and there will always be concerns about who to sharget due to perceived wastage.
Kahmon said: I've been a VIP since the program began. At first it was a great value, but as I've progressed to the point of earning rewards faster, the value has diminished. Still, I didn't mind contributing $10 a month to a game that I mostly enjoy... until now.Between the annoying new UI needing twice the clicks to open packs, twice the clicks to save a cover, and now making us deal with fractions of characters, I feel MPQ only deserves a fraction of my money.My VIP runs out around the end of the month and for the first time I will not be renewing. I intend to only get the $2 hero points each month just for the intercepts. This alone won't affect their bottom line, but it sounds like plenty of others dislike the changes even more than I do. If others do the same they will have to realize how bad this is.
The rockett said: I hope they come up with a better way for you to manage and look at who is getting shards. Maybe it would be a drop down, like how you select you * for the characters. This would then list who all has shards on your roster.

Yeah but when you would pull a bonus hero in the wrong color, it's more of a aw shucks moment. Now if you pull the 13th when you have 300+ shards in a cover it's more of a what the "tiny kitty" moment....

So I am very curious about this and others that talk about 5/5/0 or whatever type of 5* that have feeders. I have seen many people comment about this but I question if you were BHing their feeder. Like Shuri, was she BHed? I get that you would need one at 360 and a dupe at 330 to champ just by the feeders but i still wonder about this.
