Discussions, Revelations, and Fair Treatment

@DonT89

WE P2P (Pay2Play) players live everyday the harassment brought by F2P, each time we get beaten.
…

And many other offensive things…

Now, if we need to stay peaceful together in the same environment we need to find agreements.
P2P of this game are very respectful people if they don’t get provocated out of pure evil

DonT the harassment you often refer to that is targeted at you wasn’t really a big issue until you started writing posts like this…

@DonT89

Guys I will tell you what I think as, maybe the bigger, whale in the game.

This game started very balanced for F2P and P2W, I know that because I can see old videos of how the game was, and any OP strategy got nerfed so far, so people were relying on their skills because regardless from the monsters owned you would always find a counter for it. But until here is totally fine.

Let’s come back to Bastia: she is a cheat code, way the best support in the whole game. And many F2P cannot stand a chance against her. Potentially this is fair, who spends real money need more benefits on having OP monsters like Bastia, but here it comes the painfull truth: all of this is wrong, F2P are been fed for years with a balanced game where they could reach top 10 with a good pool of monsters + skills, is absolutely normal that now those players who see all those years as “lost” will complain about game becoming P2W. The game should have been P2W from the beginning, F2P would fight hard for top 50 because being top 10 was going to be out of reach for them. That is my idea.
Changing suddenly to P2W will hit them too hard and make them leave. So for me was a mistake from the genesis of the game.
I can make you an example guys, @Killerdog for sure remembers that:
I proposed in line chat Gangrilla to have insomnia instead of Sleep immune like Don Rilla, KD answered me that this is P2W, but the matter of fact is that this is fair, F2P just can’t accept it because they have been fed differently by devs and marketing team.
In conclusion: I know is hard to accept for any F2P guys. But you should start playing for top 50 and then later if more whales will be in for top 100. If you don’t accept that you will leave.

This is a quote from the Carole Bastia thread. It showed complete ignorance of the game balance in the first year of the game, but stating your point so confidently one could call it arrogantly. You then put in your opinion that money should equal wins (fair enough, we each have personal opinions). However, you then go on to say that free players are basically thinking about the game incorrectly and should accept the game is becoming more P2W and how it’s totally fine, they just need to set themselves lower expectations like getting top 50 rather than top 10 (or just to leave the game). That sounds extremely condescending/rude. You then lumped me in as a F2P complaining about P2W by misquoting a conversation, which is quite a personal attack at me when I am someone who almost never complains about P2W (I’m someone who greatly encourages benefit from spending, only putting my foot down if something really oversteps).

I replied to that post in the thread and won’t go through that, but for anyone who wants to see here it is: Carole Bastia - #110 by Killerdog. One point I made in there was how DonT89 was continually making every issue a P2W vs F2P issue. It’s a bit ridiculous to always do that then moan that people are hating on you for being a paying player.

So if you really don’t want to be targeted with hate and disrespectful things then take a good look at everything you’re writing and set a proper example. You were excessively rude to many free players in the past and would throw around your radical ideas a little too much that it wound people up. Similarly, Katatafish did actions that drew attention onto him (as I went through at the start of this thread).

As I’ve been clear with at the beginning of this thread. I completely agree that being a spender makes you a larger target for hate and that’s a horrible thing. As a moderator and as a moral human being I will do what I can to defend or protect you, just as I would for anyone else getting targeted. But don’t be oblivious to your faults.
