Don’t you have a new game to focus on that you’re funding with your PAYrium money that you got by selling out and tricking players into buying? Be quiet.
This is completely normal. I quit many games for years and return later. You can't play the same game for many years. For the greediness it's the same with every gacha..
@@Grstrangler, it's not. Everyone always goes to that every gacha is the same, but when compared to Raid thats just not true Raid is 10x worse. You spend what some krakens spend in Raid in any other game and you would have everything in that game 10x over.
He really doesn't. He is an amazing player for endgame content, but he has both said he doesn't enjoy being ftp, doesn't enjoy the early game, and all he's done is pretty much plat and super endgame content.
The man speak the true, mad respect for this man. remind me of your good old days, I'm glad you are not lucky on your shards pull because it will tell us about how we feel when something is not felt right. Sorry bro, if you are lucky on your pulls, we might never see this version of you. Best of luck and see you back soon. as FTP 100% series lol
good for you! you are the only raid cc i stayed subscribed to even though i left that game (similar toxic relationship). i watched little snippets from your shard pulling videos sometimes and was frankly shocked ;) I eventually got back to gachas, but to the "guaranteed banner style" where you can get every champion as a f2p, but p2w still gives you an advantage.
You said it all bro, thanks for the good content during all those years. I am on the same path, and I think the new mythical champs will be the trigger for me to quit as well. When I think of all the money I spent, it makes me just sick to my stomach! A company that greedy does not disserve it
Consider just keeping your original account and playing it as f2p or low spender. Thats what i do and i still enjoy the game, definitely during this year i havent been able to compete in pvp well and have regressed alot, but who knows what happens in future. And there is alot less pressure if you just dont spend at all, or maybe buy bolster pass and thats it like i do.
I've learned so much from you, take care! It is a loss for Raid to have you leave as a cc. I hope you find your passion again in another game and continue making content.
You nail it right on the head, man. I understand and agree 100%. Find something you like, something that makes you feel good,and pursue it. Just come back around when Fateless releases their game :)
Yeah... no they wouldn't, they are raking in money hand over fist from millions of players... if you add up what all the cc players spend it would be a drop in the bucket by comparison.
I have been through this too and can definitely relate a bit. Yes, taking a break from the game is healthy, not just physically but mentally. It will give you time to do other more important things in life and hopefully give you a better perspective on things. You can always decide later to come back to the game or quit it forever. Either option is totally fine. I have “quit” Raid three times and I’m currently playing other games I enjoy more. Go back to that. There are plenty of other games (both Gatcha and non Gatcha) to explore and I’m sure you can use your channel for that if you wish. I’m currently playing Watcher of Realms and loving it. I’m also looking forward to Dragon Heir which is releasing on Global in a few weeks. Maybe check those games out and see if you want to give them a try! Regardless of what you do, I wish you the best and thank you for your contribution to the gaming community. Cheers!
Good video mate and I'm leaning the same way. I'm probably a medium-low spender. Whenever the urge to spend creeps, I always remind myself what I'm 'buying' (essentially the small 'chance' to win something virtual or intangible). At the end of the day, it's a game but frankly there are better things in life to spend money on. Each to their own but Raid is a bottomless pit to pour money into and when it's all said and done, what will you have to show for it? As you say, in the hustle of life, there are far better things to invest in - both time, effort and money.
Hi, Mr. MacChan. I can definitely understand your perspective. That said, I have greatly enjoyed your content and expertise. Hate to see you go, but wish only the very best as you go forward.
thats raids worst problem, they dont have a way for players to target one specific champion they want. every gacha game allows u to at least spend towards specific champions if not grind to them...raid wont cause they wont you to spend endlessly.
have always loved your content macchan. have been here since very early on in 2020 i started playing a few months before you started making content and was just getting into arena at that time. you gave a lot of great advice and your champ showcases/guides were always top tier. I would love to see you doing a ftp/low spend series with your knowledge it would make for awesome content just seeing you go through the challenges of the game without having the best gear/champs etc. Enjoy your break and hope to see you back soon!
Good luck! I´ve learned a lot from your videos, especially for Arena. I also fully understand your arguments and the resulting decision. Wish you all the best, Frab.
4/5 year player here. I stopped spending in the game a couple months ago. I get the gem pack but I might stop that too. I do clan bosses and maybe some daily quest or faction wars but I usually forget about that. I spend maybe 30-60 minutes a day and I feel 100% better playing this way. I’m not worried about missing anything. Much happier.
you're doing the right thing. If you feel exhausted then you should definitely take a break. I'm doing the same, not only because it takes so much time, I just don't have the desire to play it. This has most likely to do, whit my situation in real life. I enjoy the free time I have since I'm not playing raid anymore, think about 2-4 hours a day you can spend on other things. It's so crazy, either you spend like crazy or you play like crazy (or a middle road with some money but you then spend your time in other things in the game and still play for 2-4 hours a day). And i totally agree, the new content is not really satisfying + even more trying to milk people even further with the souls and now with the mythical champs and the special books for them, crazy low odds to get them... And yes, as you're saying, without specific champs you can't really play some areas like arena or fire knight hard 10, hydra auto team... like the specific void champs are almost impossible to get. I like your content, and even though I'm playing for 4 years and know a lot about the game, I can still learn from you :) especially arena high end, that's the place I'm struggling because of not having the specific champs and the specific gear (+ all the crazy rolls) The good thing is, you can still keep your account, it's not getting deleted just because you're not playing for some months. enjoy your break
I understand. I have spent 200 a month consistently for about 4 years. That's certainly not in Whale or Kraken territory but it's a significant amount of money. It never seems to get me any closer to having the account that I want. I recently went free to play on my account because I am just tired of it. I love your channel and good luck with your future endeavors.
I would LOVE to see your approach to a Free 2 Play series! Please do that. I think it would be fun to see how you solve problems and it would make fun content to watch.
Mac been playing almost 3 years~ when i first started BOOMER was my Guy.. then i found your channel~ I've learned more from you 2 than all the other cc's combined~ Especially Arena. Take a Break, Decompress and Get that fire back with some FTP or Very low Spender Account. Good Luck and Hope 2 See U Soon.......Thanks For Everything
Mac. You were my only one content creator I watched when I stop playing. Now I'm in almost gold live arena..... don't stop bro. I understand to be at the top of cost a lot but don't stop. Just switch your content. You don't got to be number 1. I love your thought process
Also… you advertised Bloodlines Heroes of Lithas and I tried it after your video. The coverage for that game on RUclips is light, and you would be great covering it!
Saí a cerca de um ano e sinceramente o único canal que ainda visito vez ou outra é o seu, acredito que por ter gostado da arena desde o princípio. Com todo respeito acredito que deveria ter parado junto ao ninja, pois foi quando o jogo começou a desandar mas isso mostra o quanto você foi resiliente. Em fim, te desejo sucesso e melhor sorte em jogos futuros 💪🏽
I don't blame ya one bit MacChan!! I spent thousands as well to no avail. Complete waste and regretful. I completely agree with all of your views. You should definitely do a FTP account. Many would find it very useful and entertaining.
Please do a free to play series! You're so knowledgeable and you will give some different insight from other creators :) All the best no matter what though, will still tune in no matter the path you choose to take
definitely agree with 90% of what you said. They charge ridiculous prices for items and the rng drives me nuts. GL on the channel Mac. I'm sure you'll succeed with another game. You're smart enough.
you're so right about the dupe system time period. I think that was the time when i started to dislike the game and it came to an end when live arena came out, so i quit entirely. Don't blame you for this decision though. It's insane how you can spend sooo much money and get NOTHING in return. Gonna miss your arena vids, I was always one of my fav vids to look out for in your channel.
"Feel like I have to spend, not to progress...but to keep up" Exactly - kudos to you for stepping out. Plarium is the equivalent of "The first one is free" and is selling addiction. You can only add so many layers before the game loses its core.
Lord Macchan, whatever you do, we'll be there watching your videos(at least some of us), you wanna start a f2p series? Great, we'll get to see how a crazy whale is frustrated about the slow grind. Briefly, i just wanna say don't stop the channel pls, produce new content and stop hurting yourself, much love bro and you should let that beard grow, it gives you a chad look KEKW
I love playing Raid: Shadow Legends, I like the strategies, the characters though there's a lot I haven't been able to play with because the chance of getting them is too low. Events like the fusion help one to obtain good legendaries . Plarium has entered a mode of sucking more money from the players, I think that when I go out with my family and we go to a restaurant or a store, if the quality of the service is not good, I'll never spend any money in said establishment nor recommend it to family or friends. The offers that Plarium is making to players in the middle of and close to the end of the game are not the same - the prices vary from player to player but the items are the same. Try getting friends in to compare the offers they get compared to the offers you get - even RUclipsrs have been making comparison videos showing the offers are often completely different. The more money a player spends in these offers, the more you'll pay for the same offer any other time. The ones to blame are the players who put money into the game and continue to do so when they don't receive what they wanted. Think about how much money you've put into this game and what you could do with that money in real life. You're buying a digital product in which, without a phone, PC, laptop or access to internet, you have nothing. When this company decides to close, what will happen to all our characters and money you invested in them since you won't be able to turn on the TV and play with them? I really like this game but enough is enough.
You can enjoy this game as a F2P or low spender for years and never grow tired. If you spend big however and you have experienced the pinnacle of PVP, you've dug a deep hole you won't get out of. You can only spend more to keep up, you keep digging. But you won't enjoy the game anymore once you climb out. Now with the Mythical champs the digging will go even further. Having a high-level pvp mindset is really expensive in this game. I enjoyed your content and I wish you the best!
I completely understand where you’re coming from as a player who spent around 7K in my first so years. Granted now where near what I assume you’ve spent. This game does a great job on making people feel FOMO. Just gotta play it your way and not theirs. Take a break and come back with a breath of fresh air and play however you want whether that be ftp or low spend.
Good luck MacChan! Tottaly get you, i just stoped spending because i felt like my money was providing zero value to my account and im not even into PVP.
J'ai beaucoup appris par toi ! Tu as influencé mon analyse du jeux Et certe oui j suis F2P comparé à toi avec ma mini box, n'empêche que ma connaissance sur certains champion dont je n'en possède pas a aidé mon clan et par tout où j suis passé, aussi me débrouiller en Arene. Tout ça un peu Grâce à toi ! Oui, il y a un dégoût amère sur le pool des champions ! Peace !
Dear McChan Make a short raid time out and relax from raid nuts. But i really wish you come back and make more content. You are sympathic and i wanna watch more from your content. I fully understand your Frustration - but we all can enjoy the game with what we have (our accounts are pretty top)- even without "taritchka" c ya bro
You’ll be missed and hope to see you back soon. I kinda missed that intro music 😂. Unfortunately, these types of games require spending to get to and stay on top. I think the key is to figure out how to enjoy the game at whatever spending tier you are in. I am nearly 4 years into the game. I started at low to mid spend for 2 of those years, and have been very low since then. Yup, i can’t compete in top 100 plat, but I do enjoy arena and get some satisfaction out of beating folks with stronger accounts than mine. As long as I still have a sense of progression i’ll likely stick with it for the foreseeable future.
Yes, I totally agree, I spent tens of thousands of USD because there was a game shift, now I haven't even gotten a decent CritDam glove for 6 months, even after spending 4000 USD, and I've missed no tournaments or events. I have nothing to equip the heroes with. Now, the more Plarium directors and their managers are greedy, I'm more like Uncle Skrblík from now on. No progress, no money. I'm almost F2P now, and I'm already checking out BuldersGate like I used to..
All the best Mac. I’ve really enjoyed your content and have also learnt from you too: it was your videos that helped me get my Plat avatar! Enjoy your retirement and the extra disposable income you’ll have!
I’ve spent a ton of $ on Raid. I went low spender after the last Marichka x 10 where I burned 649 voids and got all trash. This video perfectly describes my mind set. I just wanna get off the rat wheel. Thx Mac
Hey Mac, I discovered you for Raid, but I am a big PC gamer too. I wouldn’t mind seeing you try something new. That said, I would 100% tune in for a daily F2P Raid account. Somehow watching the early progression is the most interesting thing in the game to watch. I don’t know how interested you would be, but I just gotta say I would love to see it. ❤
MacChan! I will miss you and your Raid content so much. I was always so frustrated watching your shard pulls. Your 20x Kymar video came out when I was like 1-2 months into the game and I quickly learned to never expect anything out ofshards 😆 Your content along with WixRSL are the reason I was able to push my low spending account into Gold 1 TTA without ANY arena meta champions when I was only level 91. These days I'm watching Shini (your clan mate) quite a bit and I'm learning a lot from him as well. It's unlucky you haven't been able to get Taras, Marichka, and Harima after all this time and money spent and how these champions dominate Classic and Live Arena... Would love to see you do a F2P series or low spending (monthly gem pack, forge pass, maybe a monthly pack or some shards every now and then), to get a different experience. I just hit level 100 a couple days ago and don't have Siphi, Rotos, Duchess, Taras, Marichka, Harima, Warlord, Yumeko, Kymar, Nekret, Georgid, Candraphon, Mortu, etc. You still have a lot of great champions! I would just play the game casually (Clan Boss + Hydra) and keep pulling until you hopefully get what you're looking for or something else op.
Really loved your content Mac. Sorry to see you so frustrated and down about the game. Enjoy the break and come back with something fresh, either Ftp series or a new game entirely. Take care man!
Good luck, all the very best. I think many players including myself having played since March 2019 are ready to quit right now. If I was you MacChan, I would probally do some PC gaming content, for any new games you enjoy playing. Popular games will pull in the views for sure - Starfield maybe a good start?
I had a 6 months break earlier this year from RSL. I started 4 years ago with Sir Nick fusion and fortunately didn’t spend much on the game. My main reasons were: tired with content and time it takes every day, new content is not properly tuned in difficulty, weak rewards for most difficult content. Bad luck in pulls was an addition, increased cost of materials in fusions too. I’m even punished for not having auto team in clan boss. On the other foot, I’d like to see your new account either FTP or low spender, e.g. 10 USD a month. Honestly early game until you earn Arbiter or Lydia is the best experience this game offers
Great video and I totally agree. I started playing Watcher of Realms and am enjoying it so far. Haven't spent any money and have top tier champs already.
Completely understandable man. I feel the exact same way. 10x is literally a joke. Should try something new. Doesn't have to be a gacha game. Maybe some other kinds of games
i quit over a month ago, it just felt like it became a job doing all the daily quests and trying to do the max energy to do everything. sadly i had soooo many super good champs, was very lucky with my rolls with the summons. Plus it just wasnt fun anymore.
MacChan!! Completely understand. You leaving the game is exactly the sort of people Plarium do not want leaving. Everything you say here is bang on. Sorry to see you go but I completely understand.
one of my cars is a $2000 car btw. in this game, I've been F2P from the start, I did quit for over a year at some point. but got back in around the UDK time.
it is realy sad to hear that, but i am totaly with you....plarium has their hands deep in most or all of the top players pockets, and they have no shame to grab as much as they can.....it is just crazy sick. please do something with you great knowledge of raid, make a F2P and i wish you all the best
was a honour to grow with your videos :=) i just saw you stopped spending when taras mara was releazed and you got so much good stuff and it was worth nothing anymore when they released couple harima etc. you still could beat them but its no fun playing like this i experienced myself. here is a good example why we lose a good player because they cant balance the game or dont even want. their logical decision to this is get more money by creating new champs and even new rarity XD its maybe just a prediction but smart people with money wont do the wow cycle of content. especially in raid every content they have to release has to be pain in the ass otherwise it would have been played through in a few seconds. so its time gate after timegate or they have to waste your daily time like its nothing worth. game is crap and dead. people ask for years to save them time XD if taras and mara wouldnt have that much impact compared to other heroes there is basically no nuker you can bring beside maybe 3 or4 and if you dont have them you are screwed. there is not a single mechanic released that has no price tag on it not a single XD this is basically your worktime on every bullshit that pop ups. i remmeber your videos with your leorius and you basically cant use him anymore because he just does no dmg at all. i sometimes barely do 2k dmg on the shields like if something is calculated wrong and after that its a nuke shot XD
Sorry to see you step away but I totally understand. I use to try to get to plat arena and made it with some work (never finished in it do to the time of reset). Now, it is not even remotely worth trying. I have such horrible luck with void pulls it is disgusting. I won't even mention regular heroes I still do not have (hello Duchess, kymar). I have been playing for over 3 years myself and the spending is starting to bother me as well. Once I get to the I am chasing stage, it is game over.
I am with you, I was a whale until January of this year when I went FTP. Now I am super tired of the amount of time I have to devote to this game. I took a month off in May and LOVED it I had so much more time. I tried FTP and did not enjoy it, GL in what you choose to do and thanks for all the content, your channel along with Soda Dragon was amazing and I truly enjoyed watching your content.
They will never put a price tag on those meta heroes. But they could very reasonably do a say..... 300 void guarantee? 400? Something so ridiculous only spenders could get it and yet the krakens/whales would be ecstatic and everyone would get them. Do that 5 times so they can empower the champions? It's guaranteed money while actually rewarding players.
It is great you know when to take a break or walk away. Good luck to you! If you come back for a f2p experience, just remember that it is all about delayed gratification.
I'd love to see you do a FTP or low spender account as your primary focus. I feel like your knowledge of high end play would provide a unique perspective that a lot of people would enjoy.
I'm looking to take a step back myself. I wanted to finish the DT hard and get Rumontu and I am on my way to finishing the 2nd rotation but some of the floors are just frustrating me like hedgemon, tormin and double barron and then double siphi triple rotos waves it's taking me forever and battling RNG all the time. As for 3x3 I'm stuck and constantly going from silver 3 to silver 4 and I don't really care about the mussion anymore so once I complete the hard DT I may be done. The events are getting out of hand you need to finish 3 dungeon events just to complete DD and then farm more silver to complete the artifact enhancement. I still don't have a lot of the champs I always pull for in the 10x but I get multiple copies of weak fusions like Rhazin and Vergumkar. Anyways, good luck to you and thanks for the content. I bet you wish you left last year.
All the best for the future, great content especially when you were at the height of the arena!
Don’t you have a new game to focus on that you’re funding with your PAYrium money that you got by selling out and tricking players into buying? Be quiet.
Both of you are loosers and both to go to hell. Brittish crap and chinese machhan
This is an example that even big spender like MacChan is tired with Plarium greediness
He's just frustrated because he can't compete in top arena despite all the money spent.
@@michadraogo7399 To be fair - his RNG on pulls has been terrible.
What do you mean "even"? I would imagine that those guys would be the most frustrated. If you don't constantly spend more you'll fall off fast.
This is completely normal. I quit many games for years and return later. You can't play the same game for many years. For the greediness it's the same with every gacha..
@@Grstrangler, it's not. Everyone always goes to that every gacha is the same, but when compared to Raid thats just not true Raid is 10x worse. You spend what some krakens spend in Raid in any other game and you would have everything in that game 10x over.
Please do a Free to Play Series. You have so much knowledge and experience to still share with New players and it Keeps the channel alive
you would also have a lot of "knowledge" if you had such heroes and almost everything in the game 😆
bro wouldnt last 48 hours as a F2P player lmfao
Wasting money is not a knowledge nor a skill. To be successful pure F2P needs a lot of knowledge and skill.
Yeah! Pls do F2P with Wukong.
He really doesn't. He is an amazing player for endgame content, but he has both said he doesn't enjoy being ftp, doesn't enjoy the early game, and all he's done is pretty much plat and super endgame content.
i'd be so down to watch you do a free to play series
I'm with Giggles on this one
The man speak the true, mad respect for this man. remind me of your good old days, I'm glad you are not lucky on your shards pull because it will tell us about how we feel when something is not felt right. Sorry bro, if you are lucky on your pulls, we might never see this version of you. Best of luck and see you back soon. as FTP 100% series lol
good for you! you are the only raid cc i stayed subscribed to even though i left that game (similar toxic relationship). i watched little snippets from your shard pulling videos sometimes and was frankly shocked ;) I eventually got back to gachas, but to the "guaranteed banner style" where you can get every champion as a f2p, but p2w still gives you an advantage.
I'm 100% FTP but even so this game is such a time sink, you need to play like 24 hrs a day. It's insane!
I know, money just buy you progress, but if you don't play the game, you will got left behind so quickly
Why?
You said it all bro, thanks for the good content during all those years. I am on the same path, and I think the new mythical champs will be the trigger for me to quit as well. When I think of all the money I spent, it makes me just sick to my stomach! A company that greedy does not disserve it

yup. my thoughts exactly. I'm in the same boat. So sick of Plarium and just waiting on Fateless.
@@antonfidd3795yes me to can not wait for faceless to come I'm sick of raid and there greedy ass ways 💯💯💯💯💯
If other top CC’s took this stance, PLARIUM would change their ways..
Yeah... no they wouldn't, they are raking in money hand over fist from millions of players... if you add up what all the cc players spend it would be a drop in the bucket by comparison.

If you take a break, you will fall way behind which probably means not coming back.
You will be missed Mac.
As a f2p player, I'm exhausted with the non stop events and tournaments
As a ftp you dont need to do all events,i just do daily clan boss and Gnut level fusion

Take a Break, Decompress and Get that fire back with some FTP or Very low Spender Account. Good Luck and Hope 2 See U Soon.......Thanks For Everything
That’s 100% truth right there. Since they released Taras and Marichka the game changed a lot.
Mac. You were my only one content creator I watched when I stop playing. Now I'm in almost gold live arena..... don't stop bro. I understand to be at the top of cost a lot but don't stop. Just switch your content. You don't got to be number 1. I love your thought process
Thank you for all the videos over the past few years. I definitely learned something. Good luck moving forward.
You're so right ! I (and many others players) will follow you ! Plarium is so lost !!!
Also… you advertised Bloodlines Heroes of Lithas and I tried it after your video. The coverage for that game on RUclips is light, and you would be great covering it!
Saí a cerca de um ano e sinceramente o único canal que ainda visito vez ou outra é o seu, acredito que por ter gostado da arena desde o princípio.
Com todo respeito acredito que deveria ter parado junto ao ninja, pois foi quando o jogo começou a desandar mas isso mostra o quanto você foi resiliente.
Em fim, te desejo sucesso e melhor sorte em jogos futuros 💪🏽
Oh wow that’s totally understanding man. Don’t keep giving your money to Raid
Good luck with everything you do in the future
I don't blame ya one bit MacChan!! I spent thousands as well to no avail. Complete waste and regretful. I completely agree with all of your views. You should definitely do a FTP account. Many would find it very useful and entertaining.
Thanks for all the awesome content! I left raid a few months back and havent looked back since. Such a relief tbh!
We love you mac chan, would love to see you back some day
Please do a free to play series! You're so knowledgeable and you will give some different insight from other creators :) All the best no matter what though, will still tune in no matter the path you choose to take
looking forward to a free to play series. faction wars, doom tower, even campaign. Thoughts on the game. All great. Rest well.
A free to play series when/if you come back to raid would be very fun to see. watching someone with so much knowledge is very fun and helpful
definitely agree with 90% of what you said. They charge ridiculous prices for items and the rng drives me nuts. GL on the channel Mac. I'm sure you'll succeed with another game. You're smart enough.
you're so right about the dupe system time period. I think that was the time when i started to dislike the game and it came to an end when live arena came out, so i quit entirely. Don't blame you for this decision though. It's insane how you can spend sooo much money and get NOTHING in return. Gonna miss your arena vids, I was always one of my fav vids to look out for in your channel.
Sorry to hear that you are quitting, but it's always good to take a break and think about what to do next. Best luck to you.
"Feel like I have to spend, not to progress...but to keep up" Exactly - kudos to you for stepping out. Plarium is the equivalent of "The first one is free" and is selling addiction.
You can only add so many layers before the game loses its core.
Lord Macchan, whatever you do, we'll be there watching your videos(at least some of us), you wanna start a f2p series? Great, we'll get to see how a crazy whale is frustrated about the slow grind. Briefly, i just wanna say don't stop the channel pls, produce new content and stop hurting yourself, much love bro and you should let that beard grow, it gives you a chad look KEKW
I will be here when you get back. Take the time you need and take care. Can't wait to get you back and on a f2p series.
I love playing Raid: Shadow Legends, I like the strategies, the characters though there's a lot I haven't been able to play with because the chance of getting them is too low. Events like the fusion help one to obtain good legendaries . Plarium has entered a mode of sucking more money from the players, I think that when I go out with my family and we go to a restaurant or a store, if the quality of the service is not good, I'll never spend any money in said establishment nor recommend it to family or friends. The offers that Plarium is making to players in the middle of and close to the end of the game are not the same - the prices vary from player to player but the items are the same. Try getting friends in to compare the offers they get compared to the offers you get - even RUclipsrs have been making comparison videos showing the offers are often completely different. The more money a player spends in these offers, the more you'll pay for the same offer any other time. The ones to blame are the players who put money into the game and continue to do so when they don't receive what they wanted. Think about how much money you've put into this game and what you could do with that money in real life. You're buying a digital product in which, without a phone, PC, laptop or access to internet, you have nothing. When this company decides to close, what will happen to all our characters and money you invested in them since you won't be able to turn on the TV and play with them? I really like this game but enough is enough.
You can enjoy this game as a F2P or low spender for years and never grow tired. If you spend big however and you have experienced the pinnacle of PVP, you've dug a deep hole you won't get out of. You can only spend more to keep up, you keep digging. But you won't enjoy the game anymore once you climb out. Now with the Mythical champs the digging will go even further. Having a high-level pvp mindset is really expensive in this game.
I enjoyed your content and I wish you the best!
Happy to watch whatever you play :) CC's aren't slaves to Raid!
I completely understand where you’re coming from as a player who spent around 7K in my first so years. Granted now where near what I assume you’ve spent. This game does a great job on making people feel FOMO. Just gotta play it your way and not theirs. Take a break and come back with a breath of fresh air and play however you want whether that be ftp or low spend.
Good luck MacChan! Tottaly get you, i just stoped spending because i felt like my money was providing zero value to my account and im not even into PVP.
J'ai beaucoup appris par toi ! Tu as influencé mon analyse du jeux Et certe oui j suis F2P comparé à toi avec ma mini box, n'empêche que ma connaissance sur certains champion dont je n'en possède pas a aidé mon clan et par tout où j suis passé, aussi me débrouiller en Arene. Tout ça un peu Grâce à toi !
Oui, il y a un dégoût amère sur le pool des champions !
Peace !
no, dont Quitt, we need u!!keep going witout spend! begin game new as f2p player and make content !there is new content coming, dont give up !!!
Dear McChan
Make a short raid time out and relax from raid nuts. But i really wish you come back and make more content. You are sympathic and i wanna watch more from your content. I fully understand your Frustration - but we all can enjoy the game with what we have (our accounts are pretty top)- even without "taritchka"
c ya bro
A f2p series with your knowledge would be incredible to watch. Enjoy the break and come back strong!
You’ll be missed and hope to see you back soon. I kinda missed that intro music 😂. Unfortunately, these types of games require spending to get to and stay on top. I think the key is to figure out how to enjoy the game at whatever spending tier you are in. I am nearly 4 years into the game. I started at low to mid spend for 2 of those years, and have been very low since then. Yup, i can’t compete in top 100 plat, but I do enjoy arena and get some satisfaction out of beating folks with stronger accounts than mine. As long as I still have a sense of progression i’ll likely stick with it for the foreseeable future.
I've enjoyed your content and feels like a wise decision not to throw so much money at this game.
Hi MacChan thanks for your honesty, i totally undestand you.
Yes, I totally agree, I spent tens of thousands of USD because there was a game shift, now I haven't even gotten a decent CritDam glove for 6 months, even after spending 4000 USD, and I've missed no tournaments or events. I have nothing to equip the heroes with. Now, the more Plarium directors and their managers are greedy, I'm more like Uncle Skrblík from now on. No progress, no money. I'm almost F2P now, and I'm already checking out BuldersGate like I used to..
All the best Mac. I’ve really enjoyed your content and have also learnt from you too: it was your videos that helped me get my Plat avatar! Enjoy your retirement and the extra disposable income you’ll have!
Dang bro...ya got me. I feel like I’m keeping up constantly..not playing.
I’m done paying.
I’ve spent a ton of $ on Raid. I went low spender after the last Marichka x 10 where I burned 649 voids and got all trash. This video perfectly describes my mind set. I just wanna get off the rat wheel. Thx Mac
Have a nice break ! Hope to see you soon enough. (Temporary) Goodbye 🙂
You are my favorite raid RUclipsr, I will miss you!
i had to take a 3 month break in 2021 before going back to Raid. so i definitely understand. good luck wih whatever you decide.
Hey Mac, I discovered you for Raid, but I am a big PC gamer too. I wouldn’t mind seeing you try something new.
That said, I would 100% tune in for a daily F2P Raid account. Somehow watching the early progression is the most interesting thing in the game to watch. I don’t know how interested you would be, but I just gotta say I would love to see it. ❤
MacChan! I will miss you and your Raid content so much. I was always so frustrated watching your shard pulls. Your 20x Kymar video came out when I was like 1-2 months into the game and I quickly learned to never expect anything out ofshards 😆 Your content along with WixRSL are the reason I was able to push my low spending account into Gold 1 TTA without ANY arena meta champions when I was only level 91. These days I'm watching Shini (your clan mate) quite a bit and I'm learning a lot from him as well. It's unlucky you haven't been able to get Taras, Marichka, and Harima after all this time and money spent and how these champions dominate Classic and Live Arena...
Would love to see you do a F2P series or low spending (monthly gem pack, forge pass, maybe a monthly pack or some shards every now and then), to get a different experience. I just hit level 100 a couple days ago and don't have Siphi, Rotos, Duchess, Taras, Marichka, Harima, Warlord, Yumeko, Kymar, Nekret, Georgid, Candraphon, Mortu, etc. You still have a lot of great champions! I would just play the game casually (Clan Boss + Hydra) and keep pulling until you hopefully get what you're looking for or something else op.
Really loved your content Mac. Sorry to see you so frustrated and down about the game. Enjoy the break and come back with something fresh, either Ftp series or a new game entirely. Take care man!
I would definitely watch a FTP series. Go for it!!!
Good luck, all the very best. I think many players including myself having played since March 2019 are ready to quit right now. If I was you MacChan, I would probally do some PC gaming content, for any new games you enjoy playing. Popular games will pull in the views for sure - Starfield maybe a good start?
I had a 6 months break earlier this year from RSL. I started 4 years ago with Sir Nick fusion and fortunately didn’t spend much on the game. My main reasons were: tired with content and time it takes every day, new content is not properly tuned in difficulty, weak rewards for most difficult content. Bad luck in pulls was an addition, increased cost of materials in fusions too. I’m even punished for not having auto team in clan boss.
On the other foot, I’d like to see your new account either FTP or low spender, e.g. 10 USD a month. Honestly early game until you earn Arbiter or Lydia is the best experience this game offers
Good for you, it's only going to get worse
Great video and I totally agree. I started playing Watcher of Realms and am enjoying it so far. Haven't spent any money and have top tier champs already.
You were the King of the Arena. Best of luck. Always enjoyed your content. Best of luck!
hope to see more from you in the future macchan
Always enjoyed your content. Good luck with whatever you decide comes next!
I also feel so sad when you spend 60000 gems and got nothing
Honestly f2p in casual clan removes so much pressure of the game and you can actually have fun.
Completely understandable man. I feel the exact same way. 10x is literally a joke.
Should try something new. Doesn't have to be a gacha game. Maybe some other kinds of games
i quit over a month ago, it just felt like it became a job doing all the daily quests and trying to do the max energy to do everything. sadly i had soooo many super good champs, was very lucky with my rolls with the summons. Plus it just wasnt fun anymore.
Good luck buddy. I wish you the best and I hope to see you back with your great content.
Completely understand where you’re coming from man. This game is going down the toilet fast.
MacChan!! Completely understand. You leaving the game is exactly the sort of people Plarium do not want leaving. Everything you say here is bang on. Sorry to see you go but I completely understand.
one of my cars is a $2000 car btw.
in this game, I've been F2P from the start, I did quit for over a year at some point. but got back in around the UDK time.
Sad to see you go but completely understand
Cya Macc !! Enjoy your vacations !!
it is realy sad to hear that, but i am totaly with you....plarium has their hands deep in most or all of the top players pockets, and they have no shame to grab as much as they can.....it is just crazy sick. please do something with you great knowledge of raid, make a F2P and i wish you all the best
was a honour to grow with your videos :=) i just saw you stopped spending when taras mara was releazed and you got so much good stuff and it was worth nothing anymore when they released couple harima etc. you still could beat them but its no fun playing like this i experienced myself. here is a good example why we lose a good player because they cant balance the game or dont even want. their logical decision to this is get more money by creating new champs and even new rarity XD its maybe just a prediction but smart people with money wont do the wow cycle of content. especially in raid every content they have to release has to be pain in the ass otherwise it would have been played through in a few seconds. so its time gate after timegate or they have to waste your daily time like its nothing worth. game is crap and dead. people ask for years to save them time XD if taras and mara wouldnt have that much impact compared to other heroes there is basically no nuker you can bring beside maybe 3 or4 and if you dont have them you are screwed. there is not a single mechanic released that has no price tag on it not a single XD this is basically your worktime on every bullshit that pop ups. i remmeber your videos with your leorius and you basically cant use him anymore because he just does no dmg at all. i sometimes barely do 2k dmg on the shields like if something is calculated wrong and after that its a nuke shot XD
Sorry to see you step away but I totally understand. I use to try to get to plat arena and made it with some work (never finished in it do to the time of reset). Now, it is not even remotely worth trying. I have such horrible luck with void pulls it is disgusting. I won't even mention regular heroes I still do not have (hello Duchess, kymar). I have been playing for over 3 years myself and the spending is starting to bother me as well. Once I get to the I am chasing stage, it is game over.
I am with you, I was a whale until January of this year when I went FTP. Now I am super tired of the amount of time I have to devote to this game. I took a month off in May and LOVED it I had so much more time. I tried FTP and did not enjoy it, GL in what you choose to do and thanks for all the content, your channel along with Soda Dragon was amazing and I truly enjoyed watching your content.
F2P content is my favorite to watch. It's an added bonus that Plarium doesn't directly make money off of the content too 😉
And the cycle begins again new players sucked in rinse and repeat
They will never put a price tag on those meta heroes. But they could very reasonably do a say..... 300 void guarantee? 400? Something so ridiculous only spenders could get it and yet the krakens/whales would be ecstatic and everyone would get them. Do that 5 times so they can empower the champions? It's guaranteed money while actually rewarding players.
It is great you know when to take a break or walk away. Good luck to you! If you come back for a f2p experience, just remember that it is all about delayed gratification.
This is the most honnest video of raid i have watched. Goodluck for the future. Thx you for your content, i enjoyed it all...
I'd love to see you do a FTP or low spender account as your primary focus. I feel like your knowledge of high end play would provide a unique perspective that a lot of people would enjoy.
I'm looking to take a step back myself. I wanted to finish the DT hard and get Rumontu and I am on my way to finishing the 2nd rotation but some of the floors are just frustrating me like hedgemon, tormin and double barron and then double siphi triple rotos waves it's taking me forever and battling RNG all the time. As for 3x3 I'm stuck and constantly going from silver 3 to silver 4 and I don't really care about the mussion anymore so once I complete the hard DT I may be done. The events are getting out of hand you need to finish 3 dungeon events just to complete DD and then farm more silver to complete the artifact enhancement. I still don't have a lot of the champs I always pull for in the 10x but I get multiple copies of weak fusions like Rhazin and Vergumkar. Anyways, good luck to you and thanks for the content. I bet you wish you left last year.
Sorry to see yah go. Always enjoyed your content. Good luck bro.
