Can we at least get an explanation?

For the Conquest Debacle. I just want to know if the increased difficulty was intentional? I'm assuming it was and was done to get players to spend more on consumables and the passes. The whole thing is disheartening

There is nothing to explain

Why do you say that? We don't know (officially) whether it was a bug or intentional. If it was intentional, it would be nice if they let us know in advance of when they are making events harder, especially those events that players spend real money purchasing passes for.

Difficulty is relative to your investment in your toons

That's not responsive to anything I said. In any event, again, its incorrect. I don't have inside knowledge of what actually transpired to make Conquest harder (do you?). But just looking at the Disc node in S1, the enemy BB speed was visibly increased. Regardless of whether you are using a R1 team or R9 team to fight them, the difficulty level is the same and is not relative- the BB speed increase is the same. They are now faster than they were previously. Whats relative to toon investment is simply whether you can complete the battle or not. That has no bearing on what I'm arguing about, however. CG should inform players if an event is being changed from how it was in the past to be more difficult, especially if they are selling products for real money (such as the passes) to go along with the event.

If I see a team of R4's that i have to face, i shouldn't need a squad of R8's or better to take them down. If you want that be honest and tell me i'm actually facing an R8 squad.

If i have a ton of r5+, it should absolutely be reasonable to think i should be competitive facing an R4 squad. As it was, GL's were being taken out PDQ and that had nothing to do with 'getting better' or 'not being good enough'. The RNG is just **** sometimes to boot. In sector 2, an r5 imperial trooper squad took out an R7+ GL squad and I didn't get but a single turn - that being my GL due to it's 570ish speed. Just, no.

I don't expect being honest about what people are facing as being too much to ask. But as to the mini-bosses and bosses, it's a flat out LIE to tell us it's an R4 team, when jack their stats up across the board to higher than what i can get with an R8+ level team.
