CG needs to listen.

Even f2p players are both consumers and potential spenders and all consumers deserve a bare minimum level of respect. Galaxy of Heores has been (it must have been) a viable income and marketing info source for Disney and Electronic Arts for the last 9 years, and those 9 years alone make it the most succesful live service Star Wars game to date. It is not something you achieved by neither having "pity" on f2p players, nor by relying on the spending of p2w players, but by providing satisfaction to all sorts of players.

So what do you do to commemorate such a success? You launch an update that reduces direct rewards to all players, increases game time spent in redundant resource management and smack us with yet another absurdly priced paywall. Whoever made that decision truly deserves a Clown of the Year Award.

We, the players of Galaxy of Life are simple people. We wish for simple things and directly ask for them all of the time. We want more characters (both deepcuts and popular),  quality of life updates and lower prices. We don't want to feel cheated, we don't want to feel robbed, we don't want to feel cornered into spending, and the last update did all three.

This game's community has leveled up and upgraded their characters and ships for years by now, and you must know how much we care, how much time we invest on it. I think thie numbers of the BB-8 LSB must be an example of how players that have been f2p for years would love to pay accesible prices every once in a while to get a little more instead of having a $20-$40 dollar paywall rubbed against our face every time you introduce a new game feature.

It's time to listen.
