About frequency of content update

I started playing CKS since November of last year, that means I've experienced most of this game's growth. Despite there are still some glitches, I feel it's quite blessed that CKS could be updated so frequently, compared to most other games in market. I do love the idea of drone and league event since the update of V2.0, and be addicted to collecting parts to get better weapon, having fun to challenge those opponent with max out base and drone.

But I do feel something gradually getting crazy and out of control. It looks like Glu recently have arranged a 4 weeks cycle (e.g. tournament prize: Heavy->AR->Tesla->sniper) to update a new tier of base and weapon system in a geometric progression(e.g. base power: 1440-2280-5760-11520-23040-46080).

First, the amount of diamonds to upgrade base becomes unreachable. The “average amount” of diamonds earned from PvP is about 1K-4K, which isn't much different before this update. I'm a experienced player with 8.5 stars weapons, and I've played hard to push my rank in top 90 during this tournament, still only earned 200K from PvP in one day, not to mention 50K loss by being defeated. I wonder how other lower level players or newbies could survive or upgrade anything in this cruel system.

Second, those great weapons, which you fight hard to earn or pay money to buy, become out-of-date and devaluated every month. As some players had mentioned, the prize of gold league(9 hell) last week became a joke after this update. The joy of having a super weapon not only comes from the process of hard working, but also comes from using it to beat other opponents. Great weapon is considerd great only in a month or less, and you need to fight another one again and again, it's not fun anymore.

To conclude, upgrading the system in a geometric progression every month could be interpreted as a terrible inflation in real world economy. Everything you have becomes devaluated every month, and everything you need becomes more expensive. I could understand that Glu need profit by encouraging players to spend money, but if the money we spend in this game becomes devaluated every month, why should we keep spending and investing time and effort in this game?

As I said, I felt fun when the drone and league event were introduced in V2.0, because it make the game have some variation in PvP and accessibility of getting great weapon. But I don't feel fun when base get another tier to upgrade, which means another tedious hard work for gathering diamonds, and the main change of PvP opponent is simply the stronger blood and fire power.

I hope that Glu should prudently consider what changes could make the CKS more fun, not just make the game more difficult.
