5-star Rotta Mk7 Mats...so you're not giving them to us BUT

You purposefully didn't tell us in advance.  It's the way it was working for 2 eras before, it's the way it's apparently working going forward.  So it's CLEAR that this was PURPOSEFULLY done so we would continue to buy episode pass and episode pass+ and spend crystals THINKING that we would be receiving something that you had no intention of ever giving us and that you INTENTIONALLY hid the fact that you weren't going to give us these materials because you knew it would reduce the amount of episode passes and pass+ that were going to be purchased.

This is straight up wrong.

On some basis...we MAY understand, ok...these guys are for a GL and so maybe you don't want to make leveling these characters as easy because of this.  THAT SAID, YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD US BEFORE WE MADE THE PURCHASES OR SPENT THE CRYSTALS.  This way, everyone is clear on what you're doing and everyone is making the purchase with the proper expectation for what they are going to receive.

There will be consequences.

All that said, if you're not giving us the Mk7 mats, there should be some form of make-right for this.  Refunds of the episode passes, pass+, crystals spent on shards in SOME form (crystals, relic mats, etc.).

There will STILL be consequences, because guys...this is greedy and immoral and wrong what you've done.  I honestly want to just stop playing because why would I support bad people and bad habits?  But I'm part of a community here, and it's not THEIR fault that you guys are immoral scumbags.  But...at least if you do some kind of make-right, whatever that looks like if it's not Mk7, you may make those who choose to stay after this fiasco feel 3.7% less terrible about it.

    The main source of income for the game are whales, dude

  • Let’s face it, there won’t be any kind of boycott.  I think there will be repercussions for them as I’m sure this was the last straw for some people who will leave and others who will stop or reduce their spending.  Personally I have stopped investing cash because I believe this type of behavior will continue and ultimately result in the end of the game.  Until now I have looked at the money I spend as entertainment dollars but now I see continued spending as both a waste and enabling CG’s behavior.  There are always apologists and shills who act as though CG maintains the game from the goodness of their hearts for us.  They could not care less about the players, every decision they make is to maximize the income from SWGOH.  They don’t care about fairness, game balance, canon or the desires of the players.  Only dollars.  Remember that the next time you’re thinking about spending and maybe if the income goes down they will be more motivated to be responsive and provide a positive experience for players.

    It’s classic bait and switch, and we all fell for it

  • Everyone in our guild agreed not to spend a penny next era. It’s the only thing that got me to stay with my f2p account. Never touching my paid account again. Not supporting these kinds of shady underhanded tactics. Vote with your wallets and your time spent in game.

    It's pretty disgusting that Capital Games believes this is an acceptable way to treat their player base, which is their main source of income for this game.  I hope enough people boycott this era and hit them in the wallet so they feel it.  Unfortunately I don't think that will happen but I'll do my part by never again providing them a single dollar.

    I am skipping the pass for the fever dream era coming up. Not that my trust was ever deep, but it is completely gone and there should be visible consequences for this stab in the back.
