I hope this question can be answered by the dev. team.Can it clear what we get if we spend X-dollars or share the general earnings the game expects/needs? A pay scheme expectations for the power/competitive folks, for the long time causal loyal players, for free to play players that will shell out on special occasions, or players that will always be free to play. I believe you have customers in each segment and if the right set of expectations are set for each you shall be reward with your goal of increased revenues.As a Disney game, I find it hard to recommend my kids and younger relatives to play this game and enjoy it. For example, if you spend around X , then you will likely do well in X events and place in the top.

You want a company to tell you how much money to spend?The answer is simple, all of it.

No one can give a $$ to product in exact terms. You are buying in game currency and can spend it for an advantage in many ways.Some players benefit more from shards, others from gear, and other could find an advantage in farming refreshes, or mods.Since there is no single path to spend and get an advantage that suits everyone, there is no single answer.There is also the fact that you dont have to spend at all and can play this game with no issues, and always be able to get everything in game without any $$ spent. There are many packs put there that are a direct purchase, but those are usually situational and are not going to be a real advantage for everyone.For these reasons and others, the dev team cannot answer this question for you.Players may be able to give you some general amounts to do well in X event, but they would need to know where you currently stand. (Players are at all different areas of the game, which is another reason it's hard to quantify an advantage)

the question is too broad player a could spend 10,000 crystals on trash toons player b could spend 2000 on top tier toons. player a would have more GPplayer b would likely do better in arenaplayer a would have a bigger collection, player a might also snag a legendary. ie he had g12 separatists useless in arena but managed to get padmeplayer b would be more useful in top tier raidssuccess is relative, and there's also a huge element of RNG especially with mods .

They want to use the characters that they like from the movies or TV series because that's who they like. They're not concerned with keeping up with the meta or how long it'll take them from starting to farming Traya.Let them play and find enjoyment whatever way they want, which won't be the same as how you find enjoyment.

the question is too broad

player a could spend 10,000 crystals on trash toons
player b could spend 2000 on top tier toons.

player a would have more GP
player b would likely do better in arena

player a would have a bigger collection, player a might also snag a legendary. ie he had g12 separatists useless in arena but managed to get padme
player b would be more useful in top tier raids

success is relative, and there's also a huge element of RNG especially with mods .

Except Carrie. She pretty much confirmed 5k a year is what they expect

maybe you should go read that again, because that is absolutely not what she said.

Correct. She said 4-5k would be the potential cost to get "caught up" to launch shards if starting from scratch. Not that they expect everyone to do this nor do they require it.

Sorry, but no. $4-5k to catch up IS her expectation. That’s what she said. She said nothing about potential. That’s her expectation. Not a requirement. But, her expectation. Read her post again. That’s what she said.

She used the word "expect" in the same way as "if you go outside while it's raining without an umbrella I'd expect you to get wet", rather than a manager telling a team "I expect you to exceed all targets this week". It was incredibly obvious too, but folk who had already made up their mind she's inherently evil and bad at her job just let that cloud their ability to understand very plain English.
