An easy fix to the GET1 disaster

ah, just read about general skywalker ..... :s

This decision is completely crazy. What are they thinking? There are now 4 toons to be farmed with that currency (Hoda, Wampa, Malak, GS). Farming all four of them will take new players 2 years or so, no matter how much money they put in.

They’ve stopped thinking a while back.

Think of all those whales spending $20k a month now losing in arena because a ftp hoarded 80k GET1!

Revenue short term up, long term down. But hey, bonus is short term based only so too bad for the health of the game.

They maybe would understand that if they played, but they dont so...

I do not think a lot of people have GET1 saved up, because it was pretty clear after Malak that this currency was already overloaded...

The GET1 decision makes no sense. This isn’t going to make them more money either, just upset guilds and players.
Solution, have GeoTbs get the same amount of GET1 as hoth. Otherwise this just is dumb to potentially break up guilds over the choice to use old content

It was stated pretty clear that no new toons will be added to that store after Malak, or I just dreamed that!!!

I thought so too, we need to find that post

GET2 makes GS even harder to get ...

You know there are people who have him saved up because CG did it once already. You can argue we should have been prepared, but honestly it’s just a terrible way to play the game for most of us. Not many people want to not spend any currency because we don’t know when we will need it. A lot of people would rather have fun and spend resources and then if they have to spend money later because they already used it up then so be it. But you can’t even do that here.

The emphasis on GET1 is probably because the currency is the least saved (at this time), and because CG can starve us of it to limit G12 pieces.

I had this discussion and realized that’s GET1 was chosen because it is a direct bottleneck to G13 without overtly slowing other farms. Which in turns emphasizes spending to refresh or outright purchase G12 pieces.

The irony is that there is next to no emphasis on G12 pieces by current whales because we haven’t gotten any new characters. So they’re artificially gating for something most of their heavy spenders already have.
