Gold issues (700+ ores with little gold to use them on)

Gold is hard to come by in this game.. the amount required to spend on AM donations, upgrades, rank up, is way more then the gold we obtain (low gold earned from away missions anyone?)
I have 700+ ores sitting in my inventory now and people who spend a lot like inightskies is even worse at 1.4k ores.
Suggestion to Kabam would be increase the gold drop from Away Missions, and reduce the gold required to rank up 2*,3*, and 4*s. It doesn't make sense that we can have so much ores but always running out of gold to use them. Alphas, T3 sparks, T2 materials etc are already hard to come by so that's good enough to stop players from upgrading too fast... but gold problem needs to be looked at. I'm sure others can relate to my gold problem.. just open enough crystals, get lots of 2-3* dupes and your inventory would literally explode with them. Even more so if you use real $$ to buy some of the promotions or featured bot crystals (i'm one of them).
Making gold more easily accessible will encourage players to spend as well- they wouldn't have that thought "oh I have so much ores why do I need to get more dupes now?" thing. Since they will run out of bots and ores to upgrade, they will wanna get newer bots to play and test them out with, and would love to get more duped bots = more ores that they feel they need as a result.
And yes I do play arenas (current score at crystal cornupia is 700k if you're wondering). Even so it is still not enough.

You guys don't know the gold struggle yet
It's that or grind Arenas even harder if you don't want to buy gold.
Don't get me wrong, I would love easier and more gold too.
yea gold crystals in raid store will help too. Encourage more ppl to raid when there's no events going on.
I refuse to do so.. never know when will need them. I will usually keep till they're almost to expire then use them to upgrade 2,3, or 4* bots. I play arena so there's always some gold obtained there.. however it's slower than the speed i'm getting those ores.
yes this too.. when spotlight missions are done/over, I usually don't use my energy as once again I don't need the ores anymore.. XP? I'm lvl 41 now. Gimme a mission to farm more gold and I'll gladly dump my energy there.
But yeah, gold is crazy scarce if you play a lot. And ppl, don't say "play arena". It's the most hardcore arena players who have the worst gold constraints
The only ppl who don't have gold shortages are ppl who aren't ranking up new bots on a regular basis
yes this.. even getting 300k on both 3* and 4* arenas will still earn less gold than the incoming ores due to neverending dupes from crystals. Even if I were to occasionally push it to 1mil+ for crystal cornupia, 500-700k for 3* and 4*.. still I will have exceess of ores.. like up to 300-500 extra ores minimum in the stash.
This shows an imbalance between gold and ores dont you think? Wayy too much ores but too little gold?
it's basically discouraging players to get crystals.. as some might think they are mostly dupes anyway so why bother more ore? Or even if get a new bot but lacking so much gold to upgrade them? Need to grind like hell in Arena before able to max a 3* to rank 4? Wouldn't this make a player bored even faster? Already Arena is a grind yet the gold shortage adds even more pain to the players?
Also those 7 days gold crystals login.. these days they all give me 2.4k each time I open one.. thought there is a chance to get higher up to 10k or 30k? Seems like each time I instant open one it's around 2-2.4k max. Why such a small amount? Those earned from alliances - gold crystals always give around the same too.. 2.4k is like nothing in this game when you're asking 40k+ gold to rank 4 a 3* bot.
yea it's like 1k cost to send them away.. and 1k profit... srsly just 1k profit for a 30 mins mission??
And this lacks of gold stopped me many times from buying crystal as I would have a lot of duplicates and no way to use all the ore. It's in the benefit of Kabam to give use more gold to be honest.
The solution should be to just drop it as a resource. Ore, Raid Chips, Spark Essences, Crystal Shards and Energon are more than enough to work with. We don't need gold...
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback on the subject of gold vs ore gains in the game. Although I can't promise there will be changes made, I will make sure to bring this to the team's attention. Feel free to keep the discussion going! We look forward to hearing what you have to say in regards to this.
it's to add a layer of challenge to the players and more flavor. Removing gold from the game would make it dull and feels too easy too.
Yes I STRONGLY feel this is true as well. Some more gold would not hurt Kabam but encourage players to spend real $$ to buy crystals too.. since they'll end up using their ores faster and don't mind having more! (not saying to use all 700 of my ores but in this case using down to 150-300 ores left would make me start to feel insecure lol)
Thanks @Kabam Rimehaven for listening.. i'm not asking for the floodgates of gold.. just minor boosts to what we're earning so as not to make it too easy/hard to earn gold that's all.. always gotta seek out that sweet spot for gold farming for the good of the players + the game.
Actually, since you are short on gold, at your level you shouldn't have max level your 2* if you are planning to forge them anyway.
Assuming your aim for forging is forge level and shards, ranking up your 2* just took away too much of gold for the amount of shards you are getting. You earn 55 shards for each dupe, but get only 1 shard for every level. Max ranking 2* gives you a whopping 65 shards for all your trouble, assuming if you compare 2 bots with the same amount of dupes.
Just to rephrase and make it clear. We DON'T want the quantity of ORE to DECREASE to make it par with Gold. We want to make the GOLD gain INCREASE. Just saying in advance in case the dev team thinks the former. I for one am experiencing the opposite. I have too much gold and no ore.
Oi. No bumping, check when this thread was made
yeah latest patch have pretty much addressed the gold issues... for 4* bots at least. 5*s I reckon gonna take a fortune of gold to rank up.
Eh really?? I still don’t have enough gold... how did latest patch address the gold issue???
away missions.. keep farming those arena crystals. you'll be surprised how much you'll get.
Yeah they really outdid the arena crystal missions helps me wonders + gold arenas soon will be great.. hopefully
