Watch Ads - Unexplained

im sorry but this is just the epitome of cheap if it's working as intended. Clearly there's a mistake somewhere between the banner reading MC & it actually only rewarding stamina so we won't know til that is rectified BUT...

If in fact we are only getting stamina then this is a new low. You get 5 stamina per ad when we used to get 5 MC. 20 watches = 100 MC which WOULD net you 200 stamina from a refill purchase.

Instead we get 5 stamina, that's 100 stamina per 20 watches which in turn would only be worth 50 MC cutting the value from last year in half.

5 MC was already not the most generous amount but why become even more stingy with your virtual currency when you already needed 5000MC (1000 watches) to even get anything of decent benefit in store?

Could we please get some clarification on this matter fellas & fellettes?

 That's what I don't understand. They are being stingy with a currency that costs them nothing to give out.

 I might have binged watched,  but they are still capped at 10 views.  All that for 50 stamina total?  Pass.

 I assumed that if they turned it to stamina there would be a higher cap... guess not.

I lol'd when I saw the +5 stamina pop up.  Had to run out here immediately to see if anyone posted it.  EA working the troller motor on their boat today.  Well played!

I will watch if I need less then five stamina for it but one ad was 15 seconds long so 20 stamina for a minute is not that bad. More then 15 seconds waste of time.

 Wait, so the stamina was there on purpose? fuck... At least if it was like 10

Quote from dadadadann >> This is becoming a reoccurring theme where we express what we want or like then they nerf it.

If we've been asking since reset where the advertisements are at then how did that translate to cut the value in half? Can't talk to these ppl.

 True.  Seems like they are using these platforms against the user more than to create a better user experience.

So we get essentially 50 stamina randomly throughout the day?  Or essentially one Legends or Phenom event.  Good grief.

Abyss70811

LMAO.   Even the ad itself says "You watched an ad to get some in-game currency".  I never knew stamina was viewed as currency.  Clearly isn't the same person responsible for the gameday live events. lol

So they changed the banner, not the reward...
