I def don't like "gifts" as being packs to but haha. Defeats the points of gifts I think right? Lol. Buuuuut, I'm FTP and I'm like 16 shards away from finally unlocking Traya, so I think I'm actually gonna buy that pack ha.

Now, hopefully it doesn't cost and arm and a leg! Aha. But I bet it will :/

or just wait 2/3 raids?

Ha that probably is what I should do. You just knocked sense into me lol. I def think I'll wait now.

Those are Christmas gifts though. CG’s Christmas gifts, not yours.

CG’s Christmas song: all I want for Christmas is your wallet ?

"As a gift to our loyal playerbase, we allow you to buy more packs for a (probably not) reasonable price. We hope that you haven't bought presents for your kids yet coz our stakeholders need them much more. Enjoy!"

If I buy them coal for Christmas and label it "Diamond Starter Kit", does that make it better? Because that's what these gifts seemingly amount to for me, shiny coal.

Read the titles of the packs. 7 have the word "Holiday", and 3 others "Festive".

I went to Macy's for the holiday sale and they wanted money for stuff!

Not that I expect christmas gifts from CG, but advertising these packs as a sort of gift is a joke. Especially after rerunning Skywalker so soon, like RIGHT AFTER some people who spent $100's on unlocking GS the first time got him to 7* (or in some cases they still haven't gotten there yet). What a stab in the back, doesn't encourage spending money on this game that's for sure.
Note I didn't spend money for General Skywalker, I don't have him yet and I'm nowhere near close enough to go for him this time either. But I can sympathize with people who spent money to get something they couldn't even really use until around now, only to realize they'd have saved a lot of money just by hoarding GET and waiting for the rerun.
This is gonna bite CG in the you know where. The people who fork over money to keep their lights on are going to dry up.
