A constructive revan post
I will say first off, yes I have been overly critical about things cg/ea have done in the past and recently. I won’t hide that fact, but after having nearly 24 hours to contemplate over the current position we are in with the revan event; I have some more level headed thoughts.
Yes I was one of the vast amounts of players that felt cheated, betrayed if you will by your decision to release revan this way and so soon after chewbacca, but I also think we can come to a compromise between us and you to make this better for all.
As it stands now, I know there is no way, virtually none for me to get revan. I have a mortgage and family etc that requires far more attention and spending then swgoh. I have always said, and my guild can attest to this, that I would happpily spend a few hundred to purchase revan, but where I am sitting now is like a lot of people, not gonna happen sadly.
My focus was on bounty hunters, and I managed to get chewie to 6* and I will be ready fully to get that 7 next time (damn you bossk drops).... so my focus wasn’t even set on OR for farming, like a lot of you. But a weeks notice so soon after chewie?
If anything, your decision to push towards a quick release has completely detured me from ever spending in game again, sad because from time to time there are useful packs etc available. I would venture to assume that a lot of the guppie/dolphin crowd feels the same way.
We know the whales and krakens will have Revan, they burned through their wallets and got these characters to 7* and geared. Revan is rightfully deserved to these folks. There is no contesting this, but how about we loosen the grip just a bit.
There have been many suggestions made in regards to the event timing. Push it 2,3,4 etc weeks. Allow the “lower class” time to try. ... time to try being the key wording here. That’s where it stands. We don’t have time to try. If I had more time I would likely drop a couple hundred in hopes that maybe, just maybe I would make it. But I can also see how people would feel cheated if they spent all that money and came up shy.
I’m thinking you went with October 18th because KOTOR was released back in the day on October 15th (correct me if I’m wrong). As trends stand, this is right on point with a few previous events (JTR)
So, what do we do?
well my suggestion, extend the time frame before the event. You already know the whales and krakens will have him, great. But with a large majority of use not even close to seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, we won’t even try. Showing us you are listening and extending some sort of olive branch to use could really save face in a lot of eyes. How you choose to do this is up to you obviously, but don’t you honk it would be for the best? Those individuals, myself included, who are choosing to not purchase crystals or packs because it is just too far out of reach in such a short time frame may actually open up their wallets and spend a few bucks (hey more profit for you all)
What does the community feel?
Please try and keep his constructive, there is so much negativity (yes myself included previously) that I’m sure @kyno is ready to break his/her keyboard moderating posts.
