I, for one, am glad that some players do pay to play/win (though I am never sure what you 'win' as such?) or we would have no game at all. I really dont play to win/play - but I do love the game so I do buy stuff from time to time when it suits me. I know I will never be top 3 or 10 even in arena or gauntlet as not got the time to do manual play a lot every day to the extent you seem to need to - I will leave all of that to the hard core who go for it...hats off to them, it takes commitment!
What's disappointing to me is that there is not really a "micro" payments system, it's all "macro".Quote:

There is basically nothing on the micro scale here. Yeah, the 2.99 daily SOT deal is fairly cheap ("deal" is debatable), and the 9.99 Ironite is a good deal versus the other Ironite purchases, and occasionally there are some reasonably priced deals; the 9.99 packs triggered by dropping 5* characters come to mind.
Many of the available purchases are at least the cost of a full AAA title's monthly charge, and some are substantially more than that, the cost of the game and multiple month's subscription.
For some reason, it's just not smart to have 100 people buying $3 items twice a week, it's far better to have only 12 people buy a $50 item every week.
Ya know, so there's fewer players around sucking up server resources.
I only "like" those that buy large amounts of event soul packs to try getting the event character. Especially if this char isn't even worth it.
But I really don't like that NF once in a while gives the chance to have a super advantage over other players by releasing extremely powerful Talismans only for real money. For those who don't remember or do not play long enough: Destiny Talisman (yes the one >95% of players use in their teams) was a pay only in the beginning and this advantage lasted for months! Redemption and Avenger are similar examples.
In my eyes it is a deliberate distortion of the conditions on the battlefield with the insidious intent of stoking people's fear of missing something.
But because IAP, Micropay, LootBoxes and the like (the DLC policy on computer games as well) have become so "normal", most people seem to accept it. It stinks!
If you need to complete with 10 power abilities, use those that require 3 power. I used horus with energy, and run to the hills with echo. After i was up to 12 power, i kept using his future power ability, which only requires 3 power (use to be 2) all while granting me an extra turn. Rinse n repeat until all power abilities are met, then finish the match with a stronger eddie like doomsday. After that, replay the match with the same characters but instead of run the the hills, use doomsday
Another useful one is Vampire Hunter Eddie - 3 power, marks the target and gives extra turn.Quote:

I dont have an opening for a trooper at the moment. When an opening occurs I will send you a request.
welcome to my world :)Quote:

I did it with Crusader Eddie, and Grimmy and SSE as backup. As Troopers I used Aset and The Alchemist. I could imagine that the Corrupt General could work also nice stunning them to oblivionQuote:
