To whom it may concern:
Starting Darkside 7-A Hard we get a glimpse of a gold leveled toon. I'm assuming gold will be level 10 or 11 the way things are playing out currently.
This thread isn't more for other players, it's more...well...feedback to the developers.
I'm hoping the drop-rate and/or availability for purple materials increases once gold is introduced. One of the biggest issues most currently in the community is farming purple gear. The rarity of the 0/50 and /20 criteria are the biggest offenders. I had a thought a moment ago, where I spent three energy refills only to yield 5/20 in my purple gear. I spent 250 crystals (earned, not bought) to not even fill a single slot.
Then I stepped back and looked at my roster...first top three rows...all purple. Then I thought of the gold. Not only did I feel it may be impossible to even get a SINGLE toon to gold, but it really feels impossible to get MULTIPLE toons to gold.
The purpose of the gearing is for pace. Pace should be set to keep people trying, keep people spending, and keep people logged in and playing. I literally stopped, and started up at the bottom of my roster, and started upgrading "0" level toons, just to feel like I was progressing. This is not the reaction you want.
In short: If the purple gear is as difficult to get as it is now, when the gold gear comes in, there will be a problem.
If I'm alone, well, EA loses one player who's already ponied up his share of cash anyway so who cares. But I have a feeling, when the money spent starts to REGRESS the player, there will be financial consequences overall. This game has potential to stick around a long, long time, but if I literally feel I'm wasting time and money, well, that's where you'll lose me.
IF you read this, I thank you, and do appreciate your time and attention.

Yes I know you can play for free, but free play is taking forever to even get one character to 7 star.
I'm giving it a couple more weeks but if there aren't some major changes I'm moving on. If I feel I'm getting somewhere you'll make regular income off me.
