Why is it so hard for people to get throught their heads that they are not selling characters or their abilities. rather, since the character is farmable they are merely selling you the instant acquisition of this character, nothing more. You could obtain everything in that pack for free if you spent enough time. So there is zero merit to the complaining since they are clearly ignorant on what it was they even purchased in the first place.

They are selling instant acquisition of the characters, which includes their abilities. It's silly to try to separate the two. The main purpose is that instant acquisition of a character with a certain inherent usefulness to the character. If that usefulness is significantly diminished, then of course people will be upset. So no, there isn't zero merit to the complaining.

If GoH continues to release top tier characters and has them for sale for immediate acquisition for such high monetary costs, then after the sale is done, they over-nerf the characters to tier 3 (and buff the counters to that character simultaneously), you can bet that there will be a LOT less people willing to invest in the packs which hurts the company in a long run.

Most reasonable players will be fine with balance, but with the drastic changes that happened it was too much. Many other games do small incremental tweaks (10%-25% changes) for balancing, rather than cut multiple abilities by half of a single character, and arbitrarily double the damage dealt by one of their counters..

It is not silly to separate the two since that's what keeps them out of court. Sorry you are wrong, they cannot sell power only shorter avenues of advancement. Which in this game gets you nowhere unless ahead of everybody else is where you strive to be.
