About the CG's Greed.

This post has nothing to do with era battles and CG’s motivations regarding them - this is a rant about the store, and I highly doubt you’ll find many who disagree that those prices are ripoffs.

You are changing the subject here.

The problem is the same. And the theme is the same. Greed. Moreover, this is a new discussion with a reference to the previous discussion. It's funny that now pps can't say I'm exaggerating the problem of greed like they did back then. But they'll still try to accuse me of something, like changing the topic when, in fact, I didn't change it at all. 🤭 Just added new facts.

It’s not even a rant. It’s a self-indulgent soliloquy about using currencies for the items that offer the worst value, which any sensible player just wouldn’t do. 

“Fred” will be highlighting the cost of scrapping Kyrotech for CCBs next.

You should have been around for the last forum.  It was full of CG shills.

Well, shill is a strong and probably unfair term, but you get the gist of it.

However, I can see why and I can see why some players (and me at times) defend CG.

I've never been part of a forum like the forums of SWGOH.  They're unbelievably toxic, and I don't know.............self serving?  It's hard to describe, but I don't like it.

I quit the old forum (well forced out really, as an EA employee actually told me that there was a guy that reported every one of my posts.  Thankfully, that person has quit the game now).  

Anyway, I digress.  The old forum had a balance of sort.  The people who came on and complained about everything (sometimes fair, sometimes not) and 'the crew' that defended everything and weren't particularly friendly to the complainers.

Was it a nice place, definitely not (in my eyes).  However, it had a balance.  CG does need some defending under the barrage of rocks thrown their way.  Sadly...happily...?  Most of these defenders have been hunted out of the forums like white rhinos with horns made of platinum.

This place can be a really hard read at times.  Post after post of torches and pitch forks hunting for CG.  A lot of the time without any sort of useful critical feedback.  Is it really a wonder why nobody from CG engages us here in conversations?  I'm sure they deliberately avoid this acid-fest toxic pool like it's an..............well acid-fest toxic pool!

Let's try to give some positive takes and useful feedback............unless it's Relic Deltas of course.  Flame away on those things!

You are absolutely changing the subject. LikeDarjeloSalas​ said, no player is buying those shipments, and you’re not forced into the situation. It’s completely different than removing an event, and pretending otherwise to fit your narrative is silly.

And this is coming from the person who hates the new GC changes, all the micro transactions and overpriced packs. CG is greedy - but this whole shipments thing is dead in the water, because no one is forcing you to buy or miss out on them, unlike an era battle.

There are many store items which are good value and many which are completely not worth the price, the two you highlight are easily the worst. I can only assume this is to make us use strategy or they are poor at balancing the many currencies. It’s an economy game, there are much cheaper ways to get omicron materials with FTP in game currency the Era track and cantina are best. The raid mk2 currency is usually best for gear, in fact a good tip if you wanted to use this currency to get your relic mats, purchase the relevant gear and exchange it at the scavenger. Much more cost effective!

I created a new post for further discussion. And you're still blabbering about changing the topic. The previous topic about the Era Battle was finished in another post, which I only mentioned here in this new post so people understand what I'm talking about. Stop being so stifling and boring.

No one's forcing you to buy it? Why did they initially set such a price knowing no one would buy it? Were these charlatans really counting on suckers? Did the developers really decide to set such prices for the gullible and foolish? Or were they counting on people buying them by mistake, which is also not uncommon 😏. For the same reason, they slightly lowered the credit-based items in the very first store so that people could mistakenly buy something with crystals. But I'm sure you'll also justify this blatant fraud 😏 

I think this is an outright fraud for gullible players or is designed to get people to buy it by accident. And this sinks CG even deeper. They act like lousy charlatans. Ugh.

The thing is, you can’t purchase the MK 1-3 Guild Currencies. This is a weird pricing for the same cheapish gear in other places. My guess? CG wants you to upgrade your characters with Cash to compensate for the purchase? This is just an assumption.
