Collection event is a bit of a middle finger to the players

I’m sure it’s been said already but cmon , it’s the 2 year anniversary and the thanks for sticking with the game through all the terrible terrible bugs and slow fixes , * communication from the devs ...

@pastaclown The loss is potential revenue lost due to giving away shards. If they give everyone shards, do those people never put money in? That really is the question. And EA has hedged their bet that people wont do it. By giving away two event packs and half pricing crafting mats they are like a dealer giving a taste to see if they can get people to justify buying the rest. They have data on how much the average user spends and how they can get more to be spent. I do not.

@hayhorI'm not pumping money into this game as it is, especially not for heirlooms. I spent a good bit here and there on individual cosmetics. But heirlooms are a massive investment in a single legend, and I like playing several legends. That keeps changing as they add more. I'd be surprised if most players have more than one, if any at all.

So why give 150 shards to someone like me? Because it might actually bait me into finally spending on more heirlooms.

For instance, if they gave me 150 shards for the anniversary, and also dangled this event in front of me, I'd all but certainly buy it. The chance to get two heirlooms for my favorites would be too good to pass up. Not only that, with two down I'm more likely to buy more in the future.

On second thought...EA pretend you didn't read that. I'm fine not opening Pandora's box here lol!!

    @ArchAngeL-PCX That is fine that is your choice. I'm just telling you what I see. I highly doubt if they gave 10 million people shards they would then spend more.
