This doesn't affect player skill I'm aware of that. I am good enough already to be competitive in the game. What bothers me is that it allows you to skip your way through the ranks, completely undermining the ranking system.
So NOW your arguement is that "Winning" is dictated by a ranking system that has absolutely no bearing on whether you win matches or not?
Skip Challenge stickers already existed. Rank is no more accurately measured in your head now than it will be later, because people are using skip stickers right now anyways, and I will reiterate, High Rank /= "Winning"
And lastly, in a game like this, what does Rank even matter? If your "Naturally aquired rank" so important to you that you'd demonify the ability for others to get to the same point easier?
No that's not my argument. Winning is dedicated by skill and if you read my post you'd see I mentioned that being able to buy packs won't affect skill. The ranking system is now just pointless because you could easily have just outright bought it. And yes, rank does matter. Maybe not to you, but to lots of people it does.
- I can't wait I'm going to buy $30 worth Of coins and enjoy the boost . I only have time to play maybe 2hrs a day
Well this sucks, all the hours I've spent to reach max level all goes to waste because people can just pay their way to max level. Sure we pay the developers to give us better content, but I hate the fact that now the people with barely of time put into this game and have very poor skills are able to reach high level. I think that EA should awards the people that actually play the game to achieve a very high level with something. I don't really care what it is it could be an in-game clothing for your plant/zombie characters just give the people that play the game for hours on end something...
To unlock the clothing, there should be certain circumstances for it like: play for 20 hours or play this mode 3-5 times in a row or something that could benefit us "normal" players (Note it doesn't have to be clothing).
Well at least for sure we know 9/10 times who is the adult that's playing the game.
Adult = more money = higher rank
Kid = less money = lower rank
- This is why you should never ever think just because your rank number is higher that you are better then someone else. Its just a number nothing more. The game is the same if you are lvl 153 or lvl 19 . it was your choice to put that much time into the game you were not forced. Not trying to sound rude just the way it is.as long as it does not effect gameplay its fair.

In this game, winning doesn't mean you're skilled. I've played numerous G&G games which were lost because of selfish gameplay. Zombies should easily win 99% of the time if people play the objective. Unfortunately, selfish gameplay is the cause of numerous zombie losses... whether it's due to worrying about kill/death ratios, trying to complete challenges, or whatever the reason is that zombies aren't in the objective.

Rank is and always has been pointless. Sorry, just stating the facts. The intended point to rank, I'm guessing, was to show compitency in various aspects of the game. Things like boast awards, tactical vanquishes (x2 with a single ability for example), overall vanquishes and strategic environment vanquishes (Like elevated). In the beginning a player might get 20 skip stars in the natural progression to lvl 20 with a single character. The moment they increased skip star drop rate, rank became worthless. It doesn't matter if they are purchased with cash or game time, any player skilled or not can skip to max rank with minimal effort. By all means I understand why skips exist, for the harder challenges that don't agree with players. But, at this point it is faster to play normally ignoring all form of challenge and just buy your way to max. If they wanted rank to hold meaning skips should have stayed the way they were.

Maybe with this new revenue for them from suckers they will keep giving us free dlc.
- Approved
That's perhaps the only positive to take from this. I suspect future DLC will probably not be free though, as this is EA we're talking about..
Or maybe the new pay-to-win thing won't be bad after all, not saying that it 100% won't or even 50% of that matter.
Remember, to reach max level you need more than at least 2800 challenges to get done and that's 2800 skip star challenges to use. The money to get coins will probably be like this:
1,000,000 coins = 15$
500,000 coins = 8$
100,000 coins = 2$
Keep in mind that this is just a guess and I feel like it could be higher anyway. Remember: EA could also potentially raise the cap to 40 so we're looking at about 4000 challenges to get done. (EA am hoping your prices for the coins are higher than mine or else we are looking at little kids/teens getting to max level and that's no fun at all).
To get the desired 2800 stars you would need about a good 10,000,000-50,000,000 coins depending on how lucky you are with the packs. That's a ton of money gone on a game that you won't enjoy anymore because you reached max level in 1 hour. Am hoping that the coins cost a lot so that people don't buy their way to max level in just 1 hour, but not too much money that nobody buys them.
