The game's [URL='https://twitter.com/PlayAvengers/status/1455580861718405124?s=20']official Twitter account[/URL] laid out the reasoning. "We apologize for not responding sooner to your concerns about the addition of paid consumables in the Marketplace,” said the statement. “We introduced them as an option for an evolving player base, and did not see them as pay-to-win since they don’t offer power directly.” The Hero Catalysts and Fragment Extractors were consumable items that boosted XP for characters and speed up the usual grind in the game.
