I believe the collecting avis mission isnt that hard
But since we have PIMDFLATION BENTO INFLATION rn
Where shards avi that used to cost 40-80b become 250-400b
It is impossible
Also im posting these comment without checking the new info post and others comment yet, sorry if i talked about something not so important

Someone calculated it… you need 120 USD minimum, if you are lucky and get all the shards you need..As someone who had been a p2p player on this game for almost 3.5 years, I couldn't even fathom the cost to get the amount of shards you need for all of these avis, because from screenshots I've seen, the drop rates are literally TERRIBLEAnd with this set of shards being a first time release, there shouldn't even be a VIP+ yet. Y'all need to go back to the normal layout for avis, no more VIP+ at all tbh(EVEN FOR BRINGBACKS!)
This honestly would've worked great separately as a set of shards & a furniture storypass. And the 110/110 special avi could've just been a reward for buying the avi sets instead.
Players could've chosen the avis they wanted and/or buy the storypass for the furni if they wanted it. People have wanted a storypass for so long, & it has been long overdue.
This is really unfortunate & disappointing because the avis are gorgeous. But you keep showing your player database that you are in desperate need of money and will do anything to grab players' money. This is just promoting the one thing you guys despise: the bento BM. With shard prices nowadays, some people cant afford them without buying BM bentos, so you're honestly making yourself lose more money in the end.
This is extremely disgusting & unprofessional on so many levels and I dont understand how you could think that this is an appropriate response in any scenario, even a game.
As someone who is a manager, the main part of my job is always customer service & support. I would've been put on an immediate suspension pending a review, or more likely: FIRED!
This sounds like a narcissistic response to just get you more irritated & upset.
I have not been actively playing this game for like a month or so now because my eyes have been opened. I literally only get on to talk to people.
I used to buy shards, storypasses, bought lots of "deals" during special promos, & participate on leaderboards including: hunt LB, the spring xc, & the club xc a long while back).
At this rate, idk if I could ever see myself coming back to play the game again...
A lot of other players have left too, & more players keep leaving everyday. Y'all have moved so far away from how the game used to be.
Bring back storypasses, stop pushing out so many lucky boxes & shard sets. Be original! ATA always says that they want to give the community what we want, but we voice ourselves about EVERYTHING and things just keep getting worse.
Y'all give theme surveys for possible hunts, so how about you give surveys for possible shards or storypasses too?
OR
"Hire" people from the pimd community. Have them get hunt/sp/shard/etc ideas from others on the game (would help for those that are afraid/nervous to voice themselves in forums). Once the ideas are gathered, they can be shared with the ATA team.
It would be a win-win scenario!!! People will enjoy the content more & give more constructive criticism instead of all this backlash.
We just want to be heard, & have our ideas be brought to life
And probs the double the amount if you are not

Yeah no, that's wasn't even that damn expensive....
So I just talked to 2 people who have this question active and this is so messed up.
The quest itself is fairly simple, collect 1 of each of the new furniture pieces to receive the avatars with ~1y for the quest expiration.
But the drop rates for the special furni boxes are so terrible, Im getting reports that they are 1-2 boxes every 40-50 EC PARTIES. One person said they did 17ec parties with no boxes AFTER yall said you upped the drop rate for them.
And they ONLY drop from ec parties. So not only do we have to spend ec/bentos to collect all the avis, but we have to spend ec/bentos for flashes or premium ran clubs to be able to continue this. With an absoloutly indeterminate timeline, for an indeterminate amount of spending.
So the people who are primarily free to play or prefer p/potd clubs are just left to hang out to dry? Good luck hope the 1y timeline is good enough to finish the quest eventually?
I cant properly express how appaled I am at this.
Nevermind the fact that you have made this furniture account locked so people can't generously gift their friends or try to sell it to recover the costs with bentos.
The furniture boxes are also account locked. Ive heard they become tradable after the quest is completed but I have yet to have someone confirm this for me.
I see now after re-reading the OP its not even the furni boxes themselves that become tradable after the quest completes but rather a box with one random pre-determiened furni item in it. Thats so much worse even.
And then we are left with another indeterminate amount of time on how long they will drop for once that quest is complete along with the question of whether or not they can be traded freely or only to those with the quest active.
The paywall of this is insane. You keep saying youre listening to our feedback and taking it into consideration but thats a blatant lie. The fourms are full of feedback from players on what we want to see in this game, praise on what is good, and in-depth backlash on what is bad.
I personally have been responding to you for YEARS, ATA, along side many others. Theres a good handful of us who are very throughout in the feedback we give. We go in depth with it and give you all the tools possible to do right by your community. And you keep not listening to us and introducing paywalls then say "Hope you like this! Hope you thought it was fun!"
Its not. And its not fun to keep having to have this conversation.
My app is litterally crashing and burning my phone, I have and keep sending you help tickets with screen recordings and have made sure everything on my end is up to date. You cant even keep things running smoothly for your players to engage in this content but you want us to just open our wallets for you all willy nilly? Fix your app, and fix whoever thinks just pushing out content while neglecting the rest is the way to go.
My people have joked that my game is so buggy as retaliation for me coming into fourms and bashing these horrible choices of yours but it ain't stopping me 🗣 start genuinely considering your playerbase and not just how to line your pockets.

I feel like this is bringing up a lot of feelings for you
Woof, this didn’t land the way I expected and that is my bad
The entire design team is reading the comments on this post though (as with all content drop posts), so all feedback is read even though not everything acknowledged right off the bat. So we appreciate it
Immediately cancelled my membership after seeing this. Which mind you I just signed up for. There are many of us who spend more than we should to play this game and if anything you should be making it more affordable. Maybe if it was, more people would play and spend money. Instead you will lose players. This is the one thing I spend stupid money on in a difficult economy and I will not be spending anymore money if the game keeps going in this direction.

I never said it was an apology, love. Just saying thank you for her actually replying. Since I didn’t think that would happen and that she should reconsider rereading before posting so publicly. But it’s far from an apology, she made an “effort”, a poorly executed one. And then she made it even worse with what she posted in the campus chat. So the little respect I had, is lost.
