If I could impart some wisdom on this forum it is this.
Pixonic is a business and they want to frustrate you. They make money off of your frustration - it is their business model.
They do not want to eliminate tankers. Tankers frustrate newer players who in turn quit, or spend money to remain competitive in a near constantly changing meta! Pixonic does not want to buff your Galahad or nerf those Orkans - they want your Galahad to die which will have you saying "if I only had a Bulgasari".... stop reporting tankers, stop complaining about them, they aren't going anywhere but down...in leagues that is to frustrate you. The black market, the roulette, the split offers, none of them are for your benefit. Everything is designed to make the process of acquiring premium content obsurd... but not so obsurd that its impossible. They systems are in place to separate you from your dollars and keep you coming back for more because you have half a Haechi, can't quit now. Yes, you will trade 10 keys for 6 more times than not (better than it used to be) for a reason.
Pixonic does not want to nerf the Shocktrain. They want you to BUY the Shocktrain. Don't worry, after months of grinding and "soft" spending to obtain premium content, something else will come along to counter it and frustrate you once again. Look at the Dragoon weapon for instance, do you think its 550 meter range isn't targeted to the Shocktrain oppressed?
If you are going to play this game long, please, understand this one point. This game isn't fair, its not a great free-to-play game in mid to higher tiers anymore, and it takes either a lot of your life or a lot of your money to obtain the best stuff. MK2, more hangars, etc. etc. equals more of your money!! If you go into each battle understanding that the game is designed to entice you to spend and is catered to the spenders, you'll live a happier life.

Well said. And that is exactly what pissed me off to the point that I uninstalled for the last time.
Just because a business model isn’t “wrong”, doesn’t mean it’s “right”. Might be legal, but sure as hell is a scumbag way to treat a loyal player base that helped make the game what it is.. Without that player base, including the FTP ones, Pix would be in no position to market their game like this; they’d have been out of business in weeks had the game originally looked like this.
So now they can, and rather than try to get people to send on an awesome product, they’re making it such that the only way to compete is to spend.
Pix, what’s left of it, is a truly lowlife business. They can stick it where the sun don’t shine.

Right now, I'm just playing normally, trying to stay in gold with a 7/7 hangar. When these new weapons and bots come, IDK what i'll do because OP bots will probably be dominating in every league. So then I will either have to dump some cash into the game or quit and stick to Xbox.

I'd imagine that if the new bot, forgot the name, let's call it SuperOP; 4 medium slots, stealth/jump. Then the cycle will begin again, whales pay out, insta MKII, some won't bother as they feel like a cash cow. Then the whale numbers dwindle a little bit. Champions / Masters / Expert get lumped together again. Some of the Masters / Experts tank down. And the complaining begins again. It's kind of stupid, but Pix is slowly killing their own game, unless they're just getting a money grab out of it.
The only way I can see things getting worse is if they add on repair times. Or obviously the next 5 medium slot bot with ancile / physical shielding and stealth, or, heaven forbid, a heavy shocktrain.

Unfortunately that is also where the XBox and PS4 is heading --- you probably noticed the player rage being festered on Star Wars Battlefront II and Destiny II. To collect all the engrams in Destiny 2 for example, you are going to pay up at least $10,000. |

Do you know that calculated misery is the invention of the airline business? The way they stick you to those tight economy seats and bad food, so next time, you want to upgrade to first class? |

Pfff treat the game for it is . its a free game to kill time .
The company has every right to try to sell you their rubbish and you have every right to laugh at their sad attempt .
We should financially support games that give players proper respect as a potential valued customer and yes there are better games out there for us to waste our time and money on .
