I know on some of my players I have wasted well over 50 and got nothing but garbage.

my CB has been trying to get this certain SA for the past 2 seasons, and still nothing.


SDC?
I'm in the exact same boat (and I also burned 50 STs from the refunds looking for it). There's too much returner and o-line AEQ there.


damn see SDC is impossible to get, so much so I didn't even say what i was looking for and RB figured it out

now upgrade that to 56 and it is going to cost you like 328 tokens

compared to now that is a HUGE increase in bonus tokens

even if I take my current level 56 eq and sell it back to use the token exchange, I am only going to get 128 tokens leaving a difference of 200 I will need to earn to get it back to 56 in the new system.

this is not fair imo


It's called a rip off. You buy it for a fair amount, then they change the rules, and you are forced to sell it back. Now you sell it back at less than what you bought it at under the new rules, and you don't have half of what you need to get to the same level you already had.

So now you have 3 choices:

1. Retire your player and start over. This may also require you to by more flex, as this is what they want. Hey they need people to spend money on the game.

2. Keep what you have and never upgrade it again, as it's not compatible with the new system. Hell for that matter, it might not work with the new system.

3. Sell it to the house, get your 128 tokens, and be under-leveled.

Any of these choices. and you are screwed.

Well with the new Archetypes, I've been looking for stuff for a Pass Blocking lineman, and all they have is run blocking, or defensive crap. It will only get 1000 times worse before it gets better. (I think)

I know that. That's why the 3 choices. look at choice #2.

Something that should have been done in part, when they made the archtypes in the first place. Or make it so we can trade them, or sell them to teammates.

They are on the highest upgrade level.

As for the person who said old AEQ won't work in the new system. What? Of course it will. No one is making you sell your AEQ to get bonus tokens. It's an option you have. If you don't like the conversion rate, keep your AEQ, it'll still work. It's that simple. Bonus tokens will be much easier to earn, which is why the cost for particular items is a bit higher. I might look at knocking the prices down a little bit but I did the numbers and they all seemed within line of what you can currently do. To get a +3, +5% piece of AEQ and fully upgrade it to level 64 would require the following:

160 bonus tokens to get the item
192 bonus tokens to upgrade from level 1 to level 64
352 bonus tokens total

To get 352 bonus tokens it would take you
118 days of training on light
176 days of training on medium

We didn't design the shopping bonuses so people could get 3 pieces of +3, +5% AEQ and fully upgrade it. It's meant to where you should get a maximum of one, maybe two "custom" pieces. If you don't want to pay the higher cost you can continue to shop as normal.

oh well, it was fun while it lasted


Yeah I agree, after my flex runs out, I'm done.

This has gotten out of hand. Not sure if GLB knows this, but simple works best. No need for all these changes.

I don't feel like reading hundreds of pages to understand all these changes.

Not sure why you feel like you need to read hundreds of pages. It's one post that you need to read:

If you have a question from that post, ask, and I'll answer. It's not that complex, especially once it's set up in a user interface.
