UPDATE 🎃Trick or Treat This Halloween!🎃

It's not even a money grab at this point ata wants us to spend 24/7 on app too cause we need to complete at least 170 22 invites parties to get 6k IF we lucky that is. Multiple that by 3 to get ONE avi and misc. That's borderline crazy actually
 
Let's talk about the black market bento sellers too. They are thriving right now and getting all the money you intended for yourselves from this ATA.

Noob alt clubs that are run by people who do this for a business are going hard, and Iassume are operated by bots. I literally saw 4 start parties at the same time in different yesterday on the campus notification.

They're chasing those candy bar drops which are selling 50-100b each on campus rn, and then going and selling their bentos off app for IRL money, which your players are going for since it's more of a guarentee for new content than playing the game for rewards is.

I've said it before and I'll say it again; ATA you are the biggest supporter of black market trading through creating these horrid supply&demand imbalances.
I have had players tell me they already bought the candy bars not even for bentos- just straight money to a black market seller. 🤷🏻‍♀️
It's like ATA doesn't even care about the black market nor bots anymore when imbalances like this actively encourage their use.
 
This reminds me of a hunt in 2019. Cryptid! At The Disco. In middle of the hunt they released a 3rd tier “elite” version avas of Cecaelia (Female ava) and Sea Devil (Male ava). Required drops to obtain these avas were so ridiculous that at the end of the hunt only 1 player was able to reach it.
If someone remembers it, can correct me if i am wrong.

at least it was a recolor and not just an exclusive- I didn't get this one, but it's one of my favs and I have the other 2 versions
 
I love how blatant ATA is now with being "pay to play" if you aren't willing to spend an excess amount of money and never sleep you won't get anything. To finish and invite party with no boosts and only get 2 candies? Ridiculous. 20 at minimum would still make it hard but not dang near impossible. When things like this happen it makes me incredibly less likely to spend money. Not only that but to make everything require thousands of candies... and with shard avi boxes now giving record low amounts of shards. You could open four boxes now before you get anything good. I'm always shocked when ATA does something disappointing but this one, this one is an all time low for me.
 
& now that I’ve seen everything out I’m gonna reiterate what everyone else is saying about the drops required being ridiculous— no, ATA this isn’t exciting, fun, or something that should’ve been “trick or treating” related— this is just disappointment and something unobtainable by the masses which defeats the whole point of releasing content that people can SUPPOSEDLY “obtain”
 
Great, so we've hit changeover and what, two lite boxes? No acknowledgment, no attempt to change things? As a company you should realize the mistakes made and strive to fix them. You've got an ENTIRE community upset, I don't know about anyone else but the only person I've seen who enjoyed this event is someone who got the candy bar avi within hours of the event starting.

One.
Single.
Person.

Everyone else has issues with it, and rightfully so. You've created a paywall so large even your average paying customers can't benefit, let alone f2p or minimal spenders. The amount of time you're requiring for an event that ends ON NOVEMBER 1ST is absolutely ludicrous. There is no way the majority of players will benefit from this in any way.

I don't play a ton, but I pop in from time to time, maybe miss 1-2 parties since it's b2b and the club is pretty quick. But if I'm going 4 parties without drops (which is what happened when I used my booster, didn't get a single drop with it) then even the 100 candy avi seems difficult to get for me. Do you understand just how ridiculous that is? If a player spends hours a day on this game they still won't get a chance to get a 9000 candy 999, let alone a 12k avi.

Listen to your community, or your community will be against you, more than we already are.


And as a reminder to players, the actual ability to earn candies ends November 1st. You also only need to hit a party 1-3 times for max candy drops.
 
I was hoping to check on this thread a day after they release it to see how ATA responds to their community's reaction. Seeing a lack of immediate response is disappointing.

They could have sent a reward of 100 candies instead of 2 lite boxes to appease people. That would have helped their player base that only stay in potd clubs to buy at least 1 avatar from the shop and potentially keep them going to get more candies til the 1st of November when they stop dropping.

My luck with anything on this game is close to 0% so I won't risk spending all my remaining dns and bentos to flash for the candies. Majority of the player base would say the same.

I like the 2 candy bar avi designs but I'll just have to gaslight myself into not liking it as there's little to no hope of myself getting the candy bars by any normal means, even as a paying player.

Here's to hoping our Black Friday is better, I guess?
