Better the devil.....
For anyone who whines about CG then you should take a look at what Dragon Champions just did.
No more sims until you pay.

- Don’t give them ideas!
- Well I say I am essentially FTP in SWGOH but a few years ago I paid about 20 for the the vets pack. That is it. I have reasons beyond just cashflow for not buying (complicated and ultimately not relevant). So I guess I am not FTP but also not a whale or dolphin, maybe plankton. It took me about 2 hours how to figure out a method to do it due to circumstance. Still, paywalling sims is pretty beyond belief.
- You can still sim, it's just called "instant loot", removing the sim ticket requirement. They also exchanged any sim tickets to dracoins (AKA crystals) so it's actually a good thing. I have over 100K sim tickets in SWGOH, so I wouldn't mind them doing that here!
- Reasonable people here (yes, they exist) point out that this game is pretty f2p friendly. I don't play any other games like this so I can't throw my 2 cents in, but this seems like another data point supporting that view.
- DC was always bad but since a few YouTubers were paid to promote the game by screaming the community ate it up

Yes, if you have bought something. It is a paywall on sims. It may be a small one but completely FTP means no sims."thomssi;d-230050" wrote:

oh no you have to pay like $5 to get a ton of awesome loot and sims, while in swgoh you can pay $1000 for a 0.01% chance at the same thing.
plus its a removal of a pointless for anyone who plays the game for a long time, the horror."Nauros;c-2114069" wrote:

So just buying one of their pack that generally cost a tiny fraction of what they cost here is enough? Calling this "paywall" is like calling a line of bricks on the ground actual wall..."Nauros;c-2114069" wrote:

I signed up for this game on a .edu account and I literally cannot spend money on this game because of it. It doesn't matter how little the amount, any amount is a literal paywall for me."Nauros;c-2114078" wrote:
I was talking on the whole sims paywall argument which you said is not that bad in DC since the prices are low over there"Ultra;c-2114074" wrote:

Great. DC still offers more in-game value for far less money than SWGOH. Or at least they did when I briefly played it, not sure if that has changed. Around $2 to instantly get a character to 5* or something like that. If you want to compare prices, choose packs of equal in-game value.
Regardless of what $2 gets you in SWGOH if they implemented a pay to sim feature, it would cost you as low as $2 in this game to unlock sims
