Because you are getting a little too greedy. I spend a good deal of money on this game. But you make up holiday crates so you can get more like Spooky Summer seriously. No sooner do I upgrade my weapons, and you put out new ones. I play to have a good time not to make you rich. Then you cut back on the Platinum consumables. It's never I good idea to piss off, or piss on your customers. But this is something that you seem to do more and more. You ack like Nort Korea say that you will do better, and then after a short time stick it to us again. That is BS

It has gotten too expensive to play and keep up. Only choice is to fall way behind or just quit all together

I agree with the above petition and also not happy with so much spending to get to other levels. I also think that instead of the same gear after each events, the Legendary weapons should be upgraded to meet the game requirements.

The game is has become nothing more than highway robbery and legitimate complaints about the game are being dismissed as prices for everything skyrocket.

You are 100% correct in all of the determinations you have made and Im glad to support any efforts to bring this game back under some semblance of sanity with respect to cost to play and advance in the game.

Eu realmente gosto de jogar. Só não to satisfeito com os valores das armas estão muito caros e eu não tenho opções de ganhar ouro. Quando eu tenho e faço a HH com a Tapjoy não paga os prêmios fiz várias promoções pra ganhar ouro ate hoje nada a última q eu foi FINAL FANTASY XV: A NEW... pra ganhar 350 ouro
E nada não me pagaram ate hoje.
E a Tapijoy e HH só da mais opções pra ganhar pro os estrangeiros já pros brasileiros só merecias de promoção. Vcs tem q dar mais atenção a os brasileiros também.

HHG is making it too hard (too rich) to compete on equal footing... if you have the money to spend then that's all they care about... when I first started a year ago it was easier to acquire weapons that could compete with money spenders... now it's almost impossible... they will lose the competitive nature of the game and a lot of players

HH are too greedy.. we play for fun, and there are millions of us!...$1 for each should be enough...but No! Way too greedy...what goes round comes round!. Remember that!

Pre-comment Note: My VIP level is so low because I do tapjoy offers for gold as opposed to buying it directly.

The crates are definitely rigged, and it doesn't even matter which targets you pick, yoy always get the same things. I proved this by initiating a crate opening event and then closing the game without selecting any targets. When I came back on, it showed me the rewards from what I had "picked" I'm fine with crates, but not when you need to spend 2K gold to get one gear piece, which is never even the one you want.

Im signing because HotHead Games is making this game ridiculously expensive. I have no problem paying for things but if this company wants to keep offering better weapons and gear to even compete a littlle bit and making the cost of upgrading the weapons more and more expensive they need to offer more affordable ways to do so. An example $99.99 for 110,000 in game cash is straight robbery you can't buy 1 single upgrade on a region 24 holiday gun for that so100 bucka gets you squat it would cost almost50,000 real dollars to fully upgrade 4 guns if that is not taking advantage of hard working people who play to have fun than i dont know what is i almost am going to call better business bureau and finfmd out how to put an end to this because it takes compmete advantage of the people who keep these thieves working

The prices for everything in this game are astronomical. There is absolutely no way to maintain even the slightest possibility of being competitive without spending a minimum of $100 a month. To be in the top level it costs at least $100 a week. I'm sick of throwing my money away on new weapons to try to be competitive just to have them rendered useless and obsolete in less than a month.If something doesn't change I WILL remove this game from my phone and will never spend another dime on it. Even if the gold prices were cut in half that would be a substantial income for HHG and would still be more than it's worth

(Jacksonville, 2017-07-19)

#627

The rewards suck in comparison to the effort you put while playing any game mode.
The weapons just you keep on buying which will be use less in a week.
The gold drop and money bundles are not reasonable.
They keep on adding 3x, 4x, 6x for different game modes which is very costly.
They are becoming greeeedy.

(San ramon, 2017-07-19)

#629

Im tired of being mislead and ripped off by HHG. I spend alot of real money on this game to buy gold for crates only to need to by 20 to get a weapon or piece of gear. To buy 80 crares to get all four weapons is well over $100 real money. Then after what happened with plats this weekend is abou t all i can handle. If something doesnt change i will quit this game permanently

It's not normal to make money like HH do it now! I spend a lot of gold to have new (now they are old) Holiday guns, and have (use) them for 2 days!!! Becouse of zomby event (then I buy new event guns) I dont ued them, but I upgraded them and prepare for AWAR. And - they released new one! Its like robbery.
And so on, and so on what HH do in last week!!! It's not nice!

Its gone far enough...1). crates.. 2).pop up buy this buy that at the end of bounty runs....
3). Having to upgrade guns just to get on maps that still dont kill. 4).being ripped off by tapjoys offers. 5).ive learned to play this game for 18 months not spending a dime, nor do i plan on playing much longer if this new shit guns every time i turn around comes up..instead of new regions and new guns just make what we have better. Ie..new region upgrade guns already owned....i have guns that i will never use...let us trade them in or sell back...( war robots has this option)

I'm signing because I used to play the game a lot and really enjoyed it. But lately it has gotten so expensive to play that I left a high level competition alliance (The Banana Bunch) because I could not afford to be competitive with those guys. I am ready to stop playing if something doesn't change and make the game more affordable again.

As a player who has spent money on this game I can honestly say that I'm very disappointed in how the developers are soaking everyone for so much money. I don't mind spending a little here and there but HH is making it virtually impossible to keep up. I really enjoy this game but in just the short amount I have played so far I've seen far too much greed and it's making me want to delete the app altogether. HH SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR RIPPING OFF THEIR CLIENTS. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

The pricing is way outta control, you turned down the power of our guns to keep scoring down and so we couldn't win anything. You have to spend so much Tim playing assault you can't play anything else.

#659

As pointed out repeatedly in this petition, we spend a lot of time and money on this game. The community as a whole can agree that this is completely unacceptable because it shows that HHG just wants to capitalize on the players who are extremely loyal to KSB even though it has already been brought to HHGs attention that these unethical business practices are not only noticed, but that the players are willing to speak up when they see it by boycotting the game. Tricking players into buying items at full price by placing a timer to make them think the items would not be available only to turn around and put them on sale when the time is up is blatant thievery. If HHG does not start listening and respecting it's customers, we will go elsewhere and another company will make the ridiculous amount of money HHG does. This petition should not be taken lightly as the free market is alive and well. We will go elsewhere to play if these unethical practices outlined in this petition aren't halted immediately.

KSB "HH" you guys suck, based on everyone's experience theirs been more plats is a BS excuse (HH knows that they increased the plats). SO STOP PLAYING STUPID!! These platinums has been increased since last war, that was around May 28th.

By HH dropping pu from 5 to 3 (it originally was 6 - "6 months ago") but going from 5 to 3 is total BS. Just because their is more plat bounties doesn't mean you will come ahead.

Now when you raid alliance that have 25+ bounties all the time and if they have over 100 visitors and if you are running an android (you can't get in them alliances, cause ur device, comes to a crawl). Also these alliance are usually full as well. Now when you raid 400 plats that takes 9-10 hours to do instead of making 2000 pu you only make 1200 pu (that's a big difference). So that means now you have to spend 234 more ADDTIONAL energies (about 170 gold more) and 5-6 extra hours of more playing time to make up those 800 other pu's.
Just because theirs more plats, does not speed up the process. (I can see if HH went back to their old way of playing, of only 1 bullet tagging, instead of 4%) then it would be alot faster, but still would cost more gold for the energy needed.

Now also with these plats being increased, everyone just wants to raid big plat alliances. I use to have to raid 13-16 alliances, now with this plat increases I only have to raid 4-6 alliances. This is taking away from medium - smaller alliances to level up faster as well as plats escaping because they can not get visitors to come and tag their plats.

Enough of the pu problem. Now I will slighty touch up on these other major issues as well.

The cash needed to upgrade the new R25 guns is absolutely absurd!!! 16.5 - 17.5 million cash per gun is absolutely ridiculous. Someone with MAXED OUT perks playing R3 assaults, it will take 4 hours of assaults to make cash for each gun to be fully upgraded. If they play one of the R24 missions "a cash board" over and over, it will take 3.5 hours total, on top of 51 slo-mo and 51 armour pierce of pu's every 10 energies used.

Tapjoy "crapjoy" is fricking ridiculous. The tapjoy ads have been lowered 4-5 times in just 6 months. A typical ad went from 129 gold down to 57 gold. Not just that, but more then 65% of those ads DO NOT pay out.

I have logs and caculations on most of this game from the past 8 months alone. That's how I came up with all of the above information.

I find this ksb game nearly impossible for a new player to even slighlty play this game and to move ahead at all.

I believe HH's practice to be contrary to consumer protection legislation in a number of jurisdiction and perhaps a class action should be investigated with the aim of claiming compensation instead. That would cripple HH and end the game, this is a preliminary less drastic action.

Very disgusted on how you take advantage of everyone. If it wasn't for all of us players there wouldn't be an hh. You need to lower the price on everything I mean everything. Why does it cost so much money to have region 25 weapons at full power. Make it affordable make it fun again. Give better prizes. Make people want to play again. All your doing is pushing us away. Stop putting out new weapons. Some of us are finishing region 24 when your shoving down our throat region 25.

I think HH is overcharging their customers, and treating their customers unfairly. There are around 50,000 players of KSB. With those kind of numbers, HH can certainly afford to reduce gold and weapon prices and still make tons of money.

KSB has become a rip off of a game in the past year. As the cost of living goes up each year you'd think at least a game would cost less than real life's problems & bills. But it isn't so, KSB has become more expensive than real life itself, to a point where I was considering taking a secound mortgage out on the game itself. Because I have realised that real life is a lot cheaper than this game will ever be!

I don't think its right to make guns so hard and expensive to get and upgrade. I constantly have had to do 20 crates to get a gun and that's not right when it's 100 gold for each try. HH than makes it way to expensive to upgrade the guns, even the ones you buy. When it costs more to upgrade guns than what you get in campaign, breach, or black ops... that's greed. The other thing is not everyone has a Midas shotgun or assault rifle so getting money to upgrade guns is much more difficult which puts teams at a major disadvantage of even having a chance to be a top team in bounties.
