Agree fully with everything above. Sad that content changes totally break the experience. Like the change in hard node from 8-5 makes farming your favorite faction or characters roughly twice the time not even counting rng. I farm some things because they are meta and needed and some cause I like them. The inflated market for digital content is rediculous. Whether that's crystals or money. Stars Wars has a huge fan base and to say that they are taking advantage of the love is an understatement. There are plenty of elements I like about this game, and some that are just downright sleezy business practices. I regularly spend a small monthly amount mostly crystals only to continually have content more restricted and less obtainable. I haven't been playing as long as some but my experience thus far has been at best 50% good 50% bad. The bad as noted above by the greed of making a buck ruining the pace of the game. Current changes put it more like 20good/80bad.
