look... I get that you kinda messed up by introducing dating tokens, and you felt like you couldn't leave them in because it was throwing off the rarity balance. I get that
but just removing them entirely, with zero compensation, was a huge dick move. I paid real money, more than once, to get extra fight energy just to farm those, because there was a specific character I was saving up for. they were not common enough that this was something I could do easily. moreover, if I didn't think I would be able to get that character with dating tokens if I failed, I would have put more effort in while he was up. so hopefully you can understand my frustration here
do you see how from where I'm sitting, you basically ate that money?
I don't have a lot of money that I can just spend frivolously, I was occasionally treating myself while building to a long-term goal, happy to support a developer that's putting out fun gay content. you see how that's kind of a cool, mutually beneficial relationship? when I started out, I was really hesitant to pay for anything, I kinda pride myself on not getting influenced by the free to play model, but as time went on I was getting more and more used to paying for stuff. I even splurged on one of those premium memberships. bought a couple season passes. because I appreciated the work that was going into it and I liked the small joy of working towards and eventually achieving long-term goals. you snuffed that out, with the only warning being in one of those pop-ups that we're basically trained (by you) to log in and immediately close without reading because they happen every single day
frankly, I feel like I was robbed, and I'm done with this game
you want to string people along with little dopamine hits to keep pumping them for money, fine, but you need to be real fucking careful when you give players something, and then take it away, because that's how you lose customers. did you not see sales spikes for the fight tokens at the start of the month, when the dating tokens were available? I definitely assumed you did, because that's when the best deals routinely appeared. 220 fists for 5 bucks, great bargain. those sales are human beings giving you their hard earned money in good faith.
I can't in good conscience keep supporting a team that's gonna take my money, and then remove the features that I paid that money for. sorry. it's a matter of principle.
hate to go, but I guess thanks for all the extra time I'll have per day not having to check in, and the ten or so bucks a month I won't be spending
getting fucked over is better than a nicotine patch for breaking habits, eh?
so I guess my feedback is, in the future, don't introduce a feature unless you are ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that you're not going to remove it later and effectively rob your customers of everything they invested into it in the meantime
that's all
peace, god bless
