Back to Why the hate for people that spend money?

Single thread,

I don't personally hate players that spend money. But the huge problem is that it creates a chasm between competitive balance. Full disclosure, I used to spend money, quite a bit at first, from the first time I played MUT in Madden 15 until 19 which I got false banned for buying Khali Mack's power up for like 70K and the bot could not differentiate between the worth of power ups and regular gold cards. After that I said no more extra money to EA.

Some of the biggest problems right now is that NMS---or even the occasional buyers of packs--have zero chance of being competitive unless you spend the majority of you life grinding and even that...say your 81 is overall is beating a 88 overall...they just quit and you don't get enough stats. The money spender just will buy more packs and you are left to grind and sweat. That problem is stats only counting for wins, which is a lazy fix for the DC glitch...instead of of counting wins just grind and hope you win. See all the 25-0 Champions in the beginning of the year, and only tracks during wins was their fix. But hell, you buy packs and the money rolls in so they have zero reason to fix it. Sure they will lose a bunch of casuals....people who don't spend much....but guess what...they will just raise the pack prices to offset that. Less casuals mean more money you will pay.

And then we have buy the levels issue. Here is the real problem with that. Say you purchase the level 45 season pass and then purchase the Comp level pass...that gets you approximately to level 49 with the xp granted from the Comp Pass. If you did zero solos or anything until you bought those level skips...you could max out the current field passes for Headliners, etc. and be close to 59. You literally are better off not playing the game and just paying to win do solos and wait until the next time. then buy your levels, complete the easy passes and then take three weeks off again. Sure you don't get the limited, but guess what, you are spending a bunch on this game....you''ll spend more and just buy it. Meanwhile, the grinders can't get shit.

The game used to be competitive and grinders were rewarded. Now it is totally pay to win.
