I hate doing 3 or 4 a day so I let it build for a week then do 20-30k at a time. Most I ever got to was 290k. Took forever to get under 100k again

Thats a terrible move. It was a good way to get offside characters which are nowadays old for platoons (lobot, barriss, etc). Very bad decision.

thats the point of what they are saying.

in an interview the dev team were talking about how pulling millions from the bronzium is "bad for the economy".

but i think the omegas are better than the shards you would get, or gear you could get.

I just got a full lobot unlock. I would take that instead of 2 omegas every time.

The hidden truth is that bronzium data cards is the “real” way we get shard shop currency.
They wouldn’t have any excuse not to ad new characters to shops if people got 45+ shards from every 10-15 data cards

Edit: They wouldn’t add multi sim, because then all people would use them, and for some reason they don’t want us to.... I guess?

Typical of CG/EA to take something from us rather then give something to us.

This is why i do not spend money on this game any more and i used to spend quite a bit

Yeah. They are first creating a forced scarcity relatively speaking to retune the economy and then they intend to add some more things to spend them on although when and on what is not yet known.

Creating a forced scarcity?

They added them to all the places we get them when they were used for a game mode to refresh battles. They pulled the game mode but not the currency. This flooded the market with coins.

They want to introduce some value to spending them allowing the economy to balance and then increase the usage at a controlled pace. It makes economic sense and is a good plan. If they dodnt do this they would never be able to give us anything too useful for ally points.

If everyone can buy something quick and without hesitation it actually devalues that item, they want to avoid that.

This is the same strategy used for the shard shop. Why do you think toons where introduced there for a while and then the Thrawn shard shop panic farm. Now we have gear. They couldn't have put gear in there right away with all the savings some of us veterans had.

stop taking away everything .... Let those Ally points. I need them for the shard shop ....
Or exchange them if you want. but not like this.: take it away and wait for the change in nobody knows when !!!!
Give back the Ally points !!!!! until you have a real good idea (I think Revan will be back way before that :p )

I am sure, they are taking Ally Point away to make Grievous more diffuclt to Get. That's all. the CB talked again ....

Again I’m gonna take a wait and see approach

Eats pop corn ?

I do the exact same thing. Getting character shards for shard shop is by far more valuable than getting a few omegas from the weekly store imo, since I’m in constant need of gear (yes I need Omegas too but for the price of 50000 for two omegas you could get a lot of character shards).

But regardless of whatever other options they chose to include to make it easier to spend large amounts of ally points, it is not in itself an argument for reducing the inflow of ally points.
