Since people are complaining about X amount of time not equaling a reward
...
No one really wants to earn anything anymore as it's shifted heavy to instant gratification.

collapsing in on itself once people inevitably run out of things to get that are shiny and new!
Yeah that's not the point anyone is making.
There is still a time vs. reward factor to be considered with the idea of respecting a player's time. It currently requires over 100 hours of play to farm enough gold to get the current roster of characters unlocked. In a game like this one, that's insane. I think I said in another thread, Overwatch grants the use of every single character even as they add new ones, and I don't see that game collapsing in on itself aaaaanytime soon.
I said it would take over 100 hours to farm that gold, which is only if that was all I earned at the average rate I estimated of 2k gold per 15 minute match (hard to estimate when some games can take 30+ minutes and give less gold, and losses). That means no character cards, faction cards, weapons or lore.
This is literally the same back-and-forth discussion surrounding Battlefront II, as soon as people realized it would take 60 hours of focus-farming, and earning NOTHING ELSE BUT GOLD, just to unlock 1 character. Then they would have to hyper-focus on gold to get another character,gaining no exp or rewards towards anything else. Literally. Exactly. The. Problem. That. Raiders. Has. Right. Now.
Also I love raccoons.
