Krypt in MK11 is Rigged Content Drip and is an Embarrassment for a MK Game

They need to change it so that skins and the store stuff costs in game kind, not time Crystal's. I mean I also have well over a billion on switch and close to a billion on xbox. They could have done it so we can buy any skin or gear piece in the game with lots of koins or real cash, but no gotta get time Crystal's by toxic league and by buying them with real cash anyway with limited options....
The funny thing is, I wouldn't mind the whole real money for crystals thing if it had good exclusive shit more than once every 6 months. In terms of stuff that's not just readily available for anyone, we've had what; the female classic ninjas for a week (not available anywhere else), two skins from Cangaceiro Kano (only available on a regional version), all of Kold War Skarlet (likewise only available on a regional version from Amazon) and the Shao Kahn commentator pack (since if you're like me and you suck, the latter is very hard to unlock in the more technical tutorial sections)... in the last YEAR.

Everything else can pretty much be obtained by clicking "A.I. fighter" and go watch a movie with the occasional check back to click 'ok' and move onto the next fight whilst the game does it for you.

I'd understand it if every week there was something that was "OMG, FOR ONE DAY ONLY GET MK1 JOHNNY CAGE!" or "UMK3 JADE ONLY AVAILABLE UNTIL SUNDAY" and it'd inspire people to go "HOLY FUCK I WANT THAT, HERE'S MY MONEY!!!!" But it's not, it's "Buy Sub Zero's Mythologies mask for the equivalent of £4.00... or you have to ask the computer to play the Towers of Time for you!!!!" and I go "ok, I will then" and click 'A.I. Fighter' accordingly then go watch a TV show I like whilst it mines me the gear I want.

My son plays Fortnite and he constantly sees some skin that's "only available for the next few days ever!" and whilst I don't agree with it, I can understand from a money perspective of this kind of "make people salivate with limited editions so they spend money!" marketing method.

Instead it's short cuts to stuff you can make the computer just grind for you for free for the most part. So why waste money on something I can make the A.I. get for me anyway as long as I demonstrate some patience?

It's not like I agree with microtransactions, but I'm trying to be devil's advocate here and even then can't see Satan's perspective. They want you to spend real money for stuff, so that they make money.... for rubbish you can get for free if you're just happy to exploit the grind with AI fighters for the most part? So they're losing out.

Wouldn't it make more sense to offer stuff more often that actually makes people WANT to spend real money? :DOGE

I mean they could do better and your example with the limited edition skins are a great example. Just offer it to everyone monthly like once a month for a week on the store they. An easily fit more than one outfit, gear piece etc. The ai stuff is easier but still time consuming, as is tot and some tor keep in mind you can't so ai such as certain character based towers where they force you to play, the gauntlet and some of the holiday ones.

That being said while ita annoying I'd still rather deal with those modes than the kombat league nonsense.

I think they should just go back to mk 9 or mk x roots, letvus unlock everything via every mode and not just "oh hey you want this we're hiding it behind this mode exclusively so you gotta play this mode" screw that. Lol or just put everything out there and let us have the option to buy with real money.

If it's 30 or 40 bucks one time to unlock everything fuck it, I'd do it for me it would be worth it.
