This pay to win model in hut is not fair.

This is actually such a gross reply to the player base in regards to monetization from a community manager. We realize theres microtransactions in HUT. There's been micro transactions in HUT for years. Telling players if they dont like the current money grabbing systems and strategy, then we should go to versus is just straight up disrespectful to the loyal player base who has supported this mode for years. There's been monetization, and thats fine, but there's been a clear decrease in earnable rewards, and a sever importance on buyable content. It's become just crazy levels of greed in forcing players to feel like they 'need' to spend money to keep up. There will always be money spent teams but I've never had a singele issue icing a good team until NHL 25-26 (and 26 is far worse). You and the content team or whoever makes these decisions need to have a hard look in the mirror of the direction of this game, because you'll likely lose a large portion of your player base going forward if this continues.
