Unrealistic Expectations: The #XEmpire Airdrop Drama

There’s a whirlwind of confusion surrounding X Empire’s long-awaited airdrop announcement, and it’s exposing some baffling misconceptions. Now that the numbers are in, many users are expressing shock that their rewards don’t match their expectations. But here’s the real issue: some people thought they could bypass in-app activity and still cash in by simply verifying their wallet with a 0.5 $TON transaction or by donating an additional 0.1 TON.

A number of articles circulating on Binance Square suggest that the airdrop distribution should have been based on the amount of money spent rather than actual in-game participation. Really? This is a clear misunderstanding of the team's intent. From the very beginning, it was explicitly stated that the airdrop would reward **in-app participants**—the users who actively supported and engaged with the game from its early stages. It was never intended for those who thought a few dollars in fees would earn them a hefty payout.

Seeing such misplaced outrage is disheartening. Let’s set the record straight: the X Empire airdrop is for **true supporters**—those who played the game, not those who believed a minimal monetary contribution would guarantee them a reward.
