Impossible platoons for T.B.
What's up with all the platoons that require pay to play characters? My guild is a strictly free to play guild. We are all players that just don't have extra money laying around to spend like a lot of...

Also, Kyno , I'm not trying to be disrespectful toward you, but just because you don't care about platoons, or don't enjoy them, or hell, maybe you actually do enjoy them, but just because you feel a certain way towards them, doesn't mean everybody else feels the same way you do. I enjoy the platoon aspect of the game. If platoons were a stand alone aspect of this game, I would enjoy it even without TB.
I have never said anyone does or should feel the same way I do about platoons.
I think they are a great element of the TB forcing people to have to theory craft around "a problem".
All I am pointing out is that when it comes to ones you cant fill, which will always exist in the current structure, the best mindset is to work on solving the problem you can solve. How do you make up the points? What teams can get you the best run possible?
I'm not going to get hung up on a game mechanic that I dont like. I'm not going to get hung up on what the company has done to release whatever toons we will need in the future to do stuff. Other people may and that's understandable, but there are ways around it and it takes time. Just like everything else in this game, you can overcome the problem through development. Platoons are just an element of TB, and they are not necessary, it's an advantage people who $$ get.
You're not hearing me though. I don't want to go around platoons. I like platoons. It's an enjoyable part of the game for me. But I'm unable to participate in platoons because of how they run it. They took out an enjoyable part of the game for me.
No I hear you, but TB is the collectors end game, as they have described it. You want to be a top end collector but not spend, and that's not how this is designed. Yes its unfortunate but that is the same game we all face. We would all love access to everything without the price tag.
I disagree. I think simply collecting the characters is the collectors end game. TB is an aspect of the game that everybody can enjoy. Or at least should be able to enjoy. There are also aspects within TB ie: platoons that were originally intended to be playable by everybody. But then they moved the goal posts on us. It started out where we could fill 4, 5, and even 6 out of 6 platoons in most cases. Slowly but surely, Lucy pulled the football away, and we were left swinging and missing. They made an aspect of the game that was once enjoyable no longer enjoyable. I understand they are trying to make money, but it's going to drive more people away than bring dollars in. Maybe not right out of the gate, but certainly in the long run. I've already witnessed a bakers dozen players leave the game completely based solely on platoons being impossible to fill. Whether you like it or not, people leaving the game like that affects us negatively.
Disagree or not that is how the designers designed it according to what they have stated in an interview. That statement was made before the change to platoons, but as they were leading into it.
