CC's for Raid are video journalists that give Raid free marketing. Ash & Droc are both doing this, mainly because they are burnt out and tired with the state of the game. They want to see changes, good changes. And I think a lot of us as players want the same thing, so this is a good thing hopefully.

To your point, when we started in 2019 you could get a lot of stuff for 20 bucks once in a while, and they can start a habit. I know I’ve definitely dipped into a credit card once in a while if I really want a Champion , but the pricing nowadays is insane.

For me, I've spent a ton on this game back in 2022 and 2023. Now by a ton I mean a few thousand, nothing like what Drok has spent. I've got clinical depression and my spending was tied to a self destructive spiral I went through. I've cut way back on the spending since then. I didn't do every fusion this year, in fact I missed both Eostrid and Wixwell because I didn't have the resources without spending. It sucks since those champions were both amazing and have done a lot of work for everyone in my clan, but at the same time neither of them would change my account massively, they'd both only help me do what I'm already doing better. I already one key UNM, I already have my Hydra teams for NM, Brutal, and Hard done, I've already done my gold tag team mission and don't care about the game mode anymore, etc. You get the idea. Would Eostrid be nice to have for one of my hydra teams or as an option for live arena? Sure, but not needed. I have amazing supports like Shu-Zhen, Duchess, Glaicad, and Firrol so while they don't all do what she does, I've got plenty of options for different areas of the game. Wixwell would literally just be a win-more champion as I'd likely only use him on clan boss and my clan is already downing all difficulties each day so whether I do 100m on UNM or 3-400m with a Wixwell team, it doesn't matter. I say all that to say that two of the best fusions of the past year I missed and like you pointed out, I'm not really hurting without them. The last thing I spent on was He-Man because I hadn't spent for a few months, tried to get Xena the year before for free through shard pulls but couldn't get her, and I didn't have a champion that could bypass stoneskin already. I haven't bought a forge pass in a long time, or really any of the stuff I used to buy, so I feel pretty good with just spending a little here and there now when I really want to. But it has to be because I want to, not because the game makes me feel like I need something.

I still remember when Plarium went from 15 sacred shards for a guaranteed Legendary (Kyoku, Sicia examples) to 20 sacreds for Elva. It was a steep jump and HH refused to do it (despite the new faction). This year I have heard the "I have to to make content" BS too often. I even began to wonder if they had signed some new contract. Two points: 1) Test server and 2) don't pull the cards for content. It intensifies the FOMO for other players. If a CC thinks it is bad content or a bad change in the game, they have to take a stance on it. (Note: All Deck of Fates are the equivalent of 20 sacreds when tied to a summon rush....so they got what they wanted, and no one complained)

Hey Gigs, great vid. I started playing in 2019 and I have only ever put money into the game through Google play cards. in the first 18 months I think I bought myself 2 x $50 cards. I don't spend much on entertainment so I thought I would treat myself and get some dopamine hunting for Madame Serris when she was new (I got her). in the following 4 years I have paid for another 3 cards just for the Gem pass. to make life easier to do fusions and such. I still have the last $50 sitting in my Google account, with no intent to spend it as I am at 11K Gems and 800 Mil silver. I 100% agree you DO NOT HAVE TO SPEND MONEY IN RAID, and if I could go back, I probably wouldn't have spent at all knowing what I do now. For everyone else just a heads up, YOU DO NOT OWN YOUR ACCOUNT! it stays property of PLARIUM if you are paying in the game, YOU ARE JUST PAYING RENT.

There was Hydra and something else that was BS before Freyja that made Freyja an easy skip. I had all the resources to do that DoF without a spending dime all saved up. Would like Freyja but do not regret my stance on that one. I was with you for no Dime December. Pretty much monthly gem pack once every 3 months and the Slayer Forge Pass are all I get since. Little torn on Drock, he bragged that he would out spend his competition for the P2W Archer event in a video and when I called him on it, he just replied "That's not bragging, do better". Water off a ducks back. Either way he is a big spender, like it or not, and if he can get enough CC's on board and they can get enough viewer's to follow it could make some changes. Remember Raid is being sold and MTG would be fools not to have some sort of "You tanked the game so the deals off" clause in that sale. So a big drop in revenue right now could have some sway. For the most part, they'll do few changes, wave a shiny new toy in our face and we'll forget most of what we complained about. Does anyone even remember the Fortus BS? HH won't do it cause he has a whole business tied in with Raid. Most CC's want the new champ and try and convince us "it's for the content". December would have been the best time to close our wallets and yet the worst time as the best deals come out and players are spending money on something during that time of the year. I was ready to drop about $200 for Christmas and got the $20 Forge pass cause the rest has been crap. The energy deals all year have been awful. Rant over.

I wanted to spend some cuz I liked the game (I think it's a good habit) but I didn't find anything to buy that both benefits my account and won't take my pants away. I think I bought some black Friday pack in 2020, and a gem pack a couple of times but not much else. Not even a battle pass. 1) They attitude don't deserve my money; 2) It's the only successful game I know where u can spend $100 and walk away with fuck all. Still going fine. I do have some drawbacks like not having any mythicals besides Mikage (100 reds and 12 remnants in) or any meta void legos but I can do all pve content in the game relatively fine after some brain working.

I have a say that I did not support you in the No Dime December campaign; I commented some salty things and I was wrong. So I have to apologize. I had just fused Lady Mikage in November 2023 and I pulled Night Queen Krixia In the month of December so I was pretty much drunk on Mythical Champions and my judgment was clouded. November, December and the Anniversary month (Usually in middle of April spilling over to May) are the best times to start a spending ban. A lot of things have been different since No Dime December 2023 but the reason is the same and now there’s new ownership that should be taught the proper way to treat the players early. I still think that if we don’t pick the right months it will be noticeable but not as impactful.

Like you, they almost got me to spend on the He-man event, almost…I ended up pulling him from a free white shard. The temptation is real, but I’m F2P in this game, and I’ve done well. I’m about 3-1/2 years in and I still like playing it. Hopefully these krackens/whales will stick to their guns and realize that their $$$ can do so much more than buy pixels on a screen. There is no real substance to spending in RSL. No roi exists aside from “I almost beat that guy in arena” or something really intangible and insignificant like that. It’s just a mobile game people, use your unlimited $$$ to do something worthwhile maybe…btw, great video content gigs!

They almost got me to spend on He-man but then I just thought about it logically. My account is just fine and will remain to be just fine without him. It'd be different if I actually wanted to support the game but that's not the mindset that I've been in ever since I realized what kind of company Plarium is.

@@josephnichols4129 Agreed! I’m not wanting to support these guys either. I really like the game and it’s fun for me to try and figure out their challenges with champs I already have. That is what I like about this game.

Maybe I'm just cynical but it certainly seemed like, last time, a good portion of the folks who didn't even want to give no Dime December a shot were desperately searching for justification to not piss off the Gravy Train... I get it, everyone needs to make a living but at least be honest about the reasons. Most of the response videos were either somewhat painful and/or embarrassing to watch.... But I'm old and like to complain so take it with a grain of salt 😎

All I want is less sneaky shit and revert of hydra changes. Including the taunt nerf. Even just the latter would make the game great for me again. Just these two is enough for me play again The prices in raid are insane for a first world countries. Like most packs is food for a week where I live. But still, they ruined hydra which was one of me favourite game modes

I disagree that players keep playing because of content creators. Ive been playing since 2019 and played cause ive enjoyed it. The casual player who spends 20 a month they wont feel it. But if we can get whales on board they definitely feel it. I usually spend 10-20 dollars every few months. But wont spends any this month or next and see where it goes

That's the main reason I don't spend money in this game anymore. All that plarium cares about is squeezing as much money as possible from the player base without guaranteing anything in return of the same value. And on top of that every iteration when they do introduce some stuff like new champs they would try to make the pool even more shitty by adding bad champs. Like adding 10 bad legos and hardly getting 1 good S tier in there as a new addition to the game when there is already enough shit in there. And on the contrary to listening what valid points are being made they would just be having a smirk and say Fck off like who cares about what u say we got so many preys to feed on. And thats what needs to stop. Spenders should really cut them off for good and show them that you better listen to the valid points being put out there before u get complete shutdown

HH Response is very lazy. It doesnt matter if youre the smallest voice in the room, someone needs to take a stand. Letting companies get away with things and never speaking up just leads them to keep pushing and pushing our limits. Even if they dont change as a company we gave them a warning. CCs are plarium shills mainly due to them profiting from the game, they will stand against them to look morally correct, but still flip all the cards for that profit. The problem is TOP TIER CCs will never stop spending due to the youtube revenue. They no longer love the game at all, theres no passion in their videos anymore you only see that in small content creators trying to make it. For this to work ALL CCs need to be involved, but sadly due to the above points it will never happen.

I’m saving up for Alice in wonderland legos. I am not interested in comic books and tv shows from the 80s but psychedelic dark fantasy sounds like the coolest thing they’ve ever done. Spend if you want to. Don’t if you don’t want to.

What honestly needs to happen is not only stop financially supporting them, and stop participating in fusions and fragment events all together, basically time and money. Plarium still sees these big whales still putting hours into the game, they'll still not listen.

These whole no dime or no spend month protest are a joke. For 1, it does no good if ur telling Plarium when and what ur doing and when it's going to end, I think they can wait out a month because not everyone is going to not spend money on the game especially whales and krakens. 2ndly, u need the majority of whales and krakens to join in and not spend money, that's not happening. Whales and krakens live to be able to brag about how great they are at dominating people on a game that has nothing to do with real life. 3rdly, a protest has to actually be taken serious for it to be effective meaning people have too seriously want to make an impact. The best protest is just not playing the game, by either deleting it or not logging in but again, the whales and krakens have to be the ones to join in because they're the ones that Plarium cares about and listens to. 4thly, someone needs to organize it and actually reach out to the whales and krakens and ask/see if they'd even be willing or interested in doing a protest before it gets announced to Plarium and then if by chance that person has a majority of the people signed up for it, that's when u do it when Plarium has no idea what's going on and it has to be something that's prolonged, maybe months of protest before anything is going to have a chance of making an impact.

I agree we need to as a community come together and stand up to them and stop this BS. But I also believe the game will change for the better once MTG take over. They not sinking 600 million on an investment to let it die, not going to happen. Would you buy something of value and let it die? No. This is Aristocrat all the way. A casino based company and knowing they were selling Plarium they pushing players to drain everything before Plarium goes to the other company. MTG once they acquire Plarium they will listen and make changes 100%. Will it be less greedy, probably not as they have to make back their investment. But will they fix and listen to the community I believe so. It’s only in their best interest for the game and future investment.
