You're upset because you feel that CG implied the thing that many retailers explicitly state during holiday sales? Oh my.
They are not a retailer buddy. They are a video game, a mobile one at that. Come on man.
I suppose it's different if someone sells you a video game than if they sell you video game products within a video game, and that it's also different if the game is mobile-wait, what??"Kisakee;c-2033855" wrote:
@Gifafi
The thread is not about any real gifts from CG.
The thread is not about getting mad for not getting any gifts.
The thread is not about asking for any gifts.
In fact it has nothing to do with any gifts at all from the past, for now, or in future. It is about how CG managed to make it look and sound like the packs are gifts to the people. This and only this. If you don't get it now i'm unable to help you understand.
I very clearly understand that you think cg somehow made it seem like the packs were gifts.
Look man, show me a retail game that you can spend $500 on and barely make a dent in your character progression. I can buy multiple games for the price these packs are. Not saying they shouldn't exist, just saying you can't compare this to retail games
show me a retail game they give you for free that you can do everything in without spending anything at all, ever.

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 **** 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.

No matter what CG does it will never be enough for some people. Never mind they just gave out a ton of free stuff less than a month ago. If the only thing they do on Christmas is discount stuff it's fine with me. If the deal is good I'm in.
That’s cute. You’re not totally addicted to the game. CG probably isn’t messing with your mind at all. Enjoy the holidays on the holotables.

- I play FF Brave exvius and there are nice presents for this end of the year, this game is semi-generous all the year also !!!
- I play FF Record Keeper and we have donjon extra bonuses, free gifts, daily presents and all this is FREE for thanks the players to play their game.
- And finally i play Galaxy of heroes and in this game i have to pay to receive Christmas presents, WOUAHHHH, i never see a mobile game so generous with the players of this fantastic mobile "game". This "game" deserve only one thing ========> Uninstallation .
So i return on real mobile games. CG doesn't respect their players so for me, i take galaxy of heroes and drop it on the trash can.
