Just curious since I've been seeing all this aquatic terminology being tossed around, while not having much of a concept of what constitutes "whale-ness". Or "dolphin-ness", for that matter. Wondering what the general consensus is for (a) MinnowsGuppies, (b) Dolphins, (c) Whales and (d) Krakens.
Off the top of my head thinking whales are those who spend at least $1000/month on the game, with krakens doing possibly five or ten times that. Thinking that the distinction lies in the ability to purchase chromiums indiscriminately to star up characters, which does not pay back well unless you've bought a ton of chromium 8-packs (and even then), and that is likely something you can't do unless you've bought ten vaults of crystals each month (about 60 mega-packs).

Dolphins will occasionally buy chromium or crystals for refreshes.
Thanks, that does clarify the definition a bit. What did you end up spending the $500 worth of crystals on?
I ask because I tossed over $100 into the game a few weeks ago to deal with the unobtainable gear issue. Haven't bought chromiums still, but I did purchase a few furnaces and some other gear from the shop and almost half my investment is gone now...
20 chromium mega-packs (I'm assuming you mean mega-packs) translates into around $350. Seems like a wide swath between that and spending a total of $500. Guess there are classes of whales (beluga, humpback, blue) that I should be considering?
Edited: haha the whale type that rhymes with "germ" got censored. Gosh.
No $500 is a dolphin. You gotta own near every character to be a whale. $500 may have you end up with simply a 4* Aalya
Think Ignatius J Reilly for new millennium.
500 bucks makes you nothing but a tiny crustacean. Less than that you're just an insignificant Plankton.
But I have the utmost appreciation for the p2p players especially the so-called whales.
Before you f2p players display your mastery of sarcasm and complain about fairness and such, please be reminded that it's the p2p players who keep the servers running and the game updated. If the game doesn't pull in money you would think the developers care to run it for another week.
Just want to say that I sincerely think p2p players deserve every advantage (I would argue not enough) they enjoy in the game.
Dodge keeps me there
Very nice sir.
$500- $1000 - People with compulsive spending problems
$1000 - $Infinity - You have a problem, bro.
No offence, but I don't think that even qualifies as a dolphin.
$2500 and up is considered a whale, imo.
^ Truth has been told !
Yeah. $500 would make you a whale in a lot of games, but not this one, not even close.
Haha , Maybe I am a pebble on the beach yet to enter the sea but I'm happy with my 10 7* Toons from what I spent XD
My pride and joy is grinding out General Greivous the last couple weeks
A minnow.
I can't source it but it goes sort of like this: Kraken > Whale > Dolphin > Tuna > Minnow > f2p
Actual dollar amounts for those categories vary by game.
