RIP Minion Collectors :(

[Welsper59]

I do, as do lots of others, so that argument in itself is not valid. I am literally one of those idiots that has thrown money at them for almost everything and have more than 200 minions, none of the ones I'm missing are unobtainable but that will obviously be the case soon. I'll move on and accept it but a bit of understanding from people that like to act like tough guys on the internet would be cool since we're part of the same community and all.

Just to clarify something, understanding someones position on their subjective wants is not a point of value to the topic. What is a point of argument though is claiming that they can't do something to their own game that goes against what you think should or should not be a thing. To the shortsighted individual, that point ends at "how does them adding it to PvP make us happy when most won't get it?" whereas the broader perspective continues to "why should they be obligated to cater to every little criticism against a decision some players may enjoy, but these loud individuals don't?"

I can sympathize with the idea of collection being stunted, but I'm also of the mind to know that it doesn't matter in the end. Are you going to add your collection efforts to your job resume? Are you going to use this as bragging rights when you play other games? Will your achievement of collecting bring you lasting value long after you stop playing this game? Chances are, the answer is either "no" or "not really". You at least understand that you'll move on, so point to you on it.

Collecting in a video game is a means to a direct end. There is no real inherent value, as opposed to collecting IRL, which at least has resale value usually. To you, the individual, the ability to collect every single thing to accomplish your goal may mean a lot, but that doesn't mean the devs are obligated to listen to you or those like you. Clearly, their decision to add those rewards to limited PvP achievements contradicts any made up notion that those goods are not "meant" or "designed" to be gotten in a specific manner that some folks have been spouting. Any meaningful argument against it is just typical complaining.

Again, I can sympathize, but the complaining about every little thing does get tiring. It'd be nice to see more people understand that and realize that not everything is going to go their way in a game that is not designed for you or me or anyone specific in every single way possible, thus understand the concept of compromise, but it's quite rare.

I guess collecting was fun while it lasted, but time to call it quits. I usually stop caring/playing once completion becomes impossible.

If you mean this in a way that you don't care to go that extra mile anymore, but don't mind the minions in general given your hobby, then welcome to the realist club. Where unreasonable expectations are expected to fail sooner or later. If you meant it as though you're trying to say screw minions entirely, given the previous hobby of collecting them, then lol.
