Hi, I have decided to not go for the level 100 boss in the current event.
Before some of you draft a nasty response to this post and thread please keep reading.
I chose to not go for it because the amount of gems (money) and especially the amount of time required to finish it is absolutely absurd for a high level player. I heard from other high level players that boss 80 requires about 70-80 gold hits and about 200 gems for health refills. I am not against challenging events that cost money and time to complete but this time Gree has gone overboard for me. I currently have enough gems to finish it but the time required to complete this event is not worth it for me. I am not willing to donate every single minute of the day (and necessarily the night) to Gree trying to finish an event in a video game.
If that is the way Gree is going with KA events, I will follow what others have said before me. Free play is not an option for me, I would rather quit. If this game becomes ( and it rapidly does) a burden for me, then I will gladly delete it.
Please know that I am not telling anyone what to do, rather voicing my own decision. If anyone wants to go for this unit, and it is a great unit stats-wise, please do. Everyone has to make their own choice. I have participated and finished every single KA event for the last many months but this time Gree went way overboard in my eyes.
Nothing for me is worth spending that much time on a game.
The actual reason for starting this thread however is that I would like to invite every moderate to high gem spender to post in this thread if they also choose to NOT go for this unit. Please refrain from posting hostile and accusing posts. I would like to keep this thread on track so that Gree finds the opinion of players who spend a considerable amount of money on this game in one place. You gotta make it easy for them
I know that I annoyed and maybe even angered some players here on the forum before. But please hold no grudge. Sometime it is just fun to stir the pot a little bit. But this thread is meant to be serious and please keep it that way.
I am looking forward to read your responses.
