Low level weapons and their unfair advantage.

[.. JERUSALEM ..]

It’s no secret to anyone that the weapons you can get at the beginning of the game provide a huge and frankly ridiculous advantage in the late game, one that simply cannot be overcome.

Basically, any player who chose to buy all dinos and weapons at low level ends up with a massively unfair and permanent advantage over those who didn’t.

Many players upgraded their hammer or even destroyed it when they got a better one. I personally destroyed mine because, back then, it was useless and only took up visual space. Now, that decision is costing me heavily. While other players can complete achievements and unlock cyber dinos in just a matter of hours, it takes me weeks or even months to achieve the same results.

I’ve personally seen players go from 0 to 5,000 kills in just 2–3 hours of gameplay. Meanwhile, it took me 9 exhausting days just to unlock a single cyber dino.

That’s essentially my complaint and observation: because of a 199gc purchase at the start of the game, some players now have an absolute advantage over others. It’s impossible to compete with their progression or achievements, and there’s no way to evolve at the same pace.

The situation is so unbalanced that if there were a promotion offering any low-level weapon for 10,000gc , I would still buy it just for the massive advantage it provides. But that option doesn’t exist. While they can buy dino babies and unlock cyber versions and achievements within hours thanks to their low-level weapons, my dino babies are just for decoration, and I’m left with a permanent disadvantage.


Examples of these advantages:

• Unlocking cyber dinos in just a few hours
• Significant advantage in mob-kill achievements
• Advantage in achievements that require killing mobs with specific weapons or dinos
• Advantage in drop-related achievements (clothes, saddles, and skins), which also leads to faster progress in Cynergy Core achievements
• Advantage in PvP achievements (kills with specific dinos or weapons)

This is how pay for advantage games work. Vios are unfair, boosters are unfair. Its just the game.

They didn’t even spend much money, or didn’t spend any at all, they’re just lucky because of a loophole in the update, simple as that. Nothing special, very simple.
Vios and boosters are available, that's why it's fair, you can choose whether to buy them or not. Low-level weapons, you don’t have a choice, you either have them and take advantage of the game, or you don’t and fall behind

They may have paid at most 2K for all the weapons, or not paid anything and just kept the starting hammer, while even if I wanted to spend 44K, I still wouldn’t have the same benefits as them.

In other words, this isn’t about paying for an advantage. I could spend much more than they did and still not have half the advantage they have. It’s about being lucky and taking advantage of loopholes in an update.

So for weapons I'll agree with you there. However they sell baby dinos. So all you have to do is wait for that and you have the same or atleast similar advantage. Unless you never left a single gun low lv.

That seems to be normal, but that 3h thing, thats extreme.
