Treyarch has stirred up controversy among Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players by removing the ability to use double XP tokens earned in previous Call of Duty titles. These tokens were initially carried over, allowing fans to use them during the early days of BO6. However, shortly after the launch of Season 1, the feature was quietly disabled. Fans have expressed outrage, feeling betrayed by what they see as a move to undermine player loyalty for monetization purposes.

In a Reddit thread by Soulfiane040, s criticized Treyarch for prioritizing potential microtransactions over goodwill. Fans speculate that the decision forces players to invest more time (or money) to stay competitive in Season 1’s battle . One comment by livingwastelandd demonstrates the confusion over the move and says “After everyone praised them for it too lmao."

Black Ops 6 Players See This As A "Greedy" Decision

Another Reddit thread by HeraldrFineHair encapsulates the community's frustration. The post argues that players who spent hours grinding previous titles earned these rewards legitimately and now feel robbed. Many commenters agree, noting how the removal disproportionately affects long-time fans. One of the key things that did not sit well with fans was the wasted time and effort stockpiling these 2XP coins, only to find out they would end up becoming useless.

Many players on Reddit feel this issue is indicative of larger problems with the game, ranging from server instability to a lack of transparency. In the thread "Treyarch, Please Answer These Questions" by greebodeathbot, fans demand clearer communication about recent changes, including the removal of 2XP tokens. The post highlights how such decisions are undermining the community's confidence in Treyarch.

What Can Treyarch Do To Rebuild Player Trust

While Black Ops 6 remains one of the most anticipated titles in the Call of Duty franchise, its rocky start has tested even the most loyal fans. The removal of legacy 2XP tokens is just one of many grievances. Between inconsistent server performance, balancing issues, and perceived greed in monetization strategies, some players are reconsidering their commitment to the game.

The Call of Duty franchise has weathered controversies in the past, and BO6 is no exception. Its massive player base and strong brand loyalty give Treyarch a chance to turn things around, but they’ll need to act decisively. As it stands, some fans are already walking away or considering doing so. Ultimately, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has the potential to be a standout entry in the franchise, but its success hinges on Treyarch’s ability to repair its relationship with the community.
