Roster Slot Sale

Nevermind. I reread and saw you wrote you don’t spend money on HP. So, to me this isn’t a morality or superiority argument at all, because we’re actually in the same boat. It’s legitimately just a bad/illogical argument.

I was FTP 100% for years and relatively recently became a $2 a month player. I’m pretty frugal with my HP and even more so now that the developers are tightening the purse strings. I don’t do daily deals and try to limit my shields to one per event if at all possible. As a 2 dollar a month player a year into fully transitioning to 5* land, I have 28 5* champs and 95 4* champs (yes... that’s all of them). I’m also sitting on between 450-500 Latest pulls for when Professor rotates out (likely 3 more champs there).  So, I think when it comes to “competitive advantage” and resource management, I’m up there with the best of them. 

You know where I’m not frugal? Roster slots. That’s the one thing I will absolutely splurge on whenever given the opportunity. I’m sitting on 340 of them. Why? They are the one permanent resource in the game. Every thing else... characters, covers, CP, tokens, Iso, and yes HP, can be spent or sold. Slots are permanent and you will always need more because there is always another character coming out until the game dies. So to me they are the best investment in the game. I’ve said that since forever. 

Every time there is a 50% off HP sale, spenders are effectively getting roster slots for half the price (assuming that’s what they spend it on) while you and I grind to pay full price. That’s THEIR competitive advantage. When the very rare slot sale drops, it costs no real world money and everyone benefits... but not equally. It’s actually “we” the hoarders, the ones who are smart with our resources and min-max them who benefit most, because we know (or at least I do...) that’s the time to put my resources to work. 

If you play the way you say you do and DON’T want a slot sale, I wonder how much of an “advantage” you actually have over your competition.
