a moment of positivity

if i could ask everyone to put their pitchforks down for a moment and look at what the last few days have brought us. we recieved a bunch of freebies including a May the 4th package and 2 very nice calendars. there was a bit of a hiccup with the update but the very next day we all got 1000 crystals in compensation and they extended the double drops for an extra day. you may say they 'owed' us that but they really didn't. if anything they 'owed' me 175 crystals for missing my fleet climb and one instance of daily energy. 1000 crystals was more than generous.
we also got a new raid and a promise of more to come now that they've developed the tools to make it easier to do than it was in the past. whether you're enjoying the new raid or not it's still a good sign and i'm looking forward to see what's in store for us in the future.
I'd also like to take a moment to appreciate the people who work at CG. none of them are actually the ones making the decisions that have p'eed us off so much over the last few days. most of them are hard core lovers of Star Wars, just like the rest of us, and they are doing everything within their power to make this game as best they can. any ire directed at them is akin to an Uber-Karen yelling at a teenaged cashier because the store is out of her favorite dish detergent.
call me crazy but i do think they'll be adjusting the raid rewards. it's their habit to aim low and adjust upwards rather than the other way around and i'm optimistic that the same will happen here.

anyways, that's all i wanted to say. you may pick your pitchforks back up now and i'll spare you all any kind of star warsy sign-off.
peace!

I think you missed the point where this is a product quite a few of us paid substantial amounts of money for.

And this is more like the barista peeing in your favorite coffee, because the manager told him that's cheaper than wasting precious water. Seems like Karen's ire might be slightly justified in that case?

I'm pretty sure the artists who contributed to the new raid are fully aware that anger about the REWARD STRUCTURE is NOT aimed at them. And for some reason I cannot believe that whoever came up with those rewards is just terrible at maths, somehow managed to get this approved by a ton of people who are all just terrible at maths either and rolled it out by themselves.
