A bitter aftertaste
I don't know how you're going to fix the problems after the Ezra rework and the Andor situation, but after this, there's almost no desire left to play or support the game. Basically, the guild is the...
The rework isn't the problem regarding Ezra in my opinion. Makes no sense to be used with Rey.
The rework for Merrin makes 0 sense. She has been in the game for 3 years and the only reason they touched that character is because she could take down Jabba in GAC.
This reasoning creates a problem for customers. Bo-Katan, Baylan, Aphra, Great Mothers, Starkiller, Stranger and many more characters, and associated characters can be used to take down GLs in various game modes. Investing in these and future characters is risky at best now since they may change it on a whim.
The biggest issue with these changes is that they did not take ANYTHING into account what players have done to get these characters and their associated squad members.
Zetas, Omicrons, Relics, Mods, time spent, crystals spent, money spent for Ezra and Merrin - only Omicrons and Relics are refunded. Then you have these same factors for 4 units used with Merrin, and 4 units used with Ezra (or more) that were completely ignored when they decided to compensate us.
Correct way would have been to refund zetas, omicrons and relics and not nerf Ezra and Merrin. It's not that difficult. I would have been happy with that.
Agreed. I also think Rey/Ezra was a problem, and fixing it seems reasonable. (Though I'd rather CG find ways to box characters out of Rey teams rather than boxing them into one specific team or faction only.)
But the time to fix things like this is within a few months, like they did with Satele (though again, I wish their fix was less restrictive). Not 3 years, in Merrin's case, or even 1.5 years, in Ezra's. That's plenty of time for people to assume that CG sees what's happening and is fine with it. People built up whole teams on this assumption.
That's just bad management of the game. And probably bad testing, since it would have occurred to almost everyone besides CG that Ezra might be a menace with Rey. (Likewise, didn't they never think to test Satele with Rey or Wat?)
