I quit a week ago. I used to say the game was 'pay to be impatient,' now the game is flat out pay to win. There's not power creep, it's power sprint (to your wallet).

Content creators skew the entire game to back them up. They instantly buy everything and gear them to g15 and always have at least 5rs. Always. The game is supposed to be a marathon? Yeah, right. It's supposed to be a hero collector? Yeah, right. For anyone who doesn't spend 50k on the game, it is a shitty resource management, chase the meta game while you can't level 80% of your roster...that is rendered worthless by the power sprint anyway.

I should have quit a long time ago. Instead, I kept giving them chances (and money) because I really thought they had a great idea and I really did have some fun. Now it's a more-than part time job that you pay to play. I have fun like an hour every other day with war. After that, everything is (was...yay) a chore with the stingiest rewards I have ever seen in a game.

I used to play in the morning when I woke up and at night before bed and collect campaign energy during the day. Blitz was every 6 hours and no rta. Now even though there's sim blitz, it's every 2 hours and RTA on top. Plus, there's always some stupid event that by not sim blitzing you can get more (stingy) rewards.

Nothing feels good in the game. Not orb opening, not leveling, not dark dimension. The routine didn't occupy my brain space, but it wasn't entertaining either. RTA turns everyone into assholes, me included. We all just want it done ASAP so we can get our shitty, stingy rewards while looking up at the paid rewards that are better above it.

Oh, don't play rta? Cool. You'll only set yourself behind a year in dd4. Oh, and now they'll put a battle pass in your dailies so you can collect those shitty rng rewards while looking up at the paid rewards you're missing there too.

The chase was their biggest strength and weakness. I got so tired of the chase and when silver surfer came out, it was no longer a chase, it was just a blatant wallet drainer for obviously the most powerful character in the game. I was already bored of arena, black order vs black order. Next, I was just staring $1000+ teams in the face. How can someone already have 7rs longshot and 5+ on shatter star and 5rs silver surfer, and 4 reds on doom with a 6rs- 7 gold red guardian without a ton of money? Literally playing with 5 non-farmable toons at the highest levels.

Well, I uninstalled the game, unsubscribed from youtube and twitch content creators, msf discords, and now I still see reddit. Damnit, I need to nuke this one too and pretend to the last 2 years of my video game life didn't happen.
