You have a great point here. I'm in a top 10, these stats aren't doing much for benefiting my growth as a player. like I would like. I agree as you upgrade your building you should be able to get a more superior item each time the level of the building is raised.
I bet the 'commercial' viewpoint here is that it takes time to design a separate weapon for each upgrade which is what is needed if we want a more powerful one per upgrade. This is what used to happen. I dont know if this will work but perhaps 6 x this unique weapon is on average more powerful than 2 x weapon e.g. average for 6 x weapon is 50k att while while 2 x weapon is 24k att.
The other consideration is we have to ensure the right stats are being applied so it could get messy from Gree's pov. Alternatively why cant they use existing weapons handed out in previous events.
I propose first 5 upgrades to come without any reward (or with the current almost useless 20k items, without mod), while the latter 5 upgrades come with a better reward (40k items+mod for example).
We also need to go back to getting the prize upon pressing the upgrade and not upon finishing it (something they've changed mid event [Christmas LTB, no less]).
Didn't the ltb's start out like that, a better reward each time then the biggest item at ten with a mod. Pretty sure it did and it was a lot better that way
The level 10 prize for the No Interest Savings was an 8k explosive with no mod. Just am example of the way things used to be.
This thread is full of begging for accelerated stat inflation. This coming at a time when Gree is clearly trying to take control of the stat inflation situation.
Take what Gree gives you and zip it. Anyone in a top 20-30 syndicate has no business complaining that LTB prizes don't affect their stats anymore. You put yourself in that situation with your gold. If you don't like the prizes, do what one of the dummies in this thread suggested and skip the event. Oh wait, you still get to build your income and you still get a modifier at each level upgraded during the event. Can't have cake and eat it too.
