Christmas "Gifts"
Wow.. CG you're kidding, right? "To celebrate Christmas we have special offers for the next 4 days, buy them now and be happy about these gifts we made you!"

This is what I love about the internet. People just go on searches to argue and debate things. I mean look. Here I am. I love it. It's great. I mean there's tons of ways to do it too. One can find grammatical or spelling errors in a people's sentances (Ahhh see what I did there) or someone can take literal meanings of words and comments to an extreme and push those agendas. I mean the opportunities are endless. Add in that you can't really project an emotion from plain text and it allows people to fully infer those things like someone is mad or upset and then allow someone to take it another step and conclude that someone must live in their mother's basement and they should get out more often and do anything beside play this game because obviously that's all they do. I mean this thread hasn't gotten there yet, but don't worry. It will. Don't worry.
So sadly for me the OP's take on the note is similar to my own. I saw the "news" and got a little excited. Maybe I read too much into thinking there'd be give aways to celebrate, much like giving someone a gift, which we certainly don't charge people for and you know what there very well may be some coming for all we know. Then given the perception of CG's model of behavior (which is an opinion and differs from person to person) the "sales' to me seemed disappointing. Like they were saying "Hey let's celebrate by giving you more ways to give us more money. We're trying to entice you to spend more with these sales because we want more money and what better way to celebrate the holidays then have you spend. Won't that be FUN? Spending money on us. Boy sales are FUN. FUN FUN FUN!!"" OK so maybe a little too much, but some version of this was floating through the OPs head and clearly some others.
So while I am able to put myself in your shoes and see that for some it is a value and fun because they can buy packs they'd normally want to buy at a discounted price, if that is all that is being done it certainly doesn't allow the rest of the community to celebrate with some fun and of course the people having the most fun are at CG getting money.
In any case it was just my knee jerk reaction when I read it and I';m sure the OPs which again for me was an initial reaction and now after the fact I could truly care less and life goes on in SWGOH. Gift or no gift, sale or no sale, the grind goes on. So back I go to grind away. Happy holidays.
