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.

Catch up with whom, exactly?

I’ve been playing since February 2016. Why do you need to catch up with me? We won’t ever face off in Arena, our guilds will have different GPs so we won’t face off in Territory Wars.

You’re spending a thousand dollars or whatever for what, exactly? Being in first place in your arena leaderboard so you can get free crystals every day? Let me know when someone earns a thousand dollars worth of free crystals to offset that “catching up” investment.

I never understood the obsession with catching up or keeping up. Who cares?

Shhhhhh! People that are trying to catch up keep the game alive!

There was a tweet. Some dev said 5 racks a year minimum.

Whether what Carrie said was direct or in direct or just her personal opinion, it doesn't really matter. The game is speaking for itself on how much it costs to 'catch up'. $10 for one piece of gear. Or even more sometimes. So ya, if a player chooses to spend money, it would literally cost thousands of dollars.

So please keep defending her poor choice in words. Cause neither her, CG nor EA are trying to release content at a reasonable cost.

I agree. One of the dumbest posts ever. I can't believe I even wasted my time reading it.

Well, they're releasing the content free of charge....
There's ofcourse the option to spend thousands of dollars, or way less than that, but it's definately not necessary to spend to enjoy the game.
I'd also like to note that everyone who just started playing that wants to catch up with players who've been player for well over 3 years is a fool if they think it shouldn't cost thousands of dollars. Lets be real.
I do agree that the pricess in this game are high, but that's just one of the reasons it's so f2p friendly.

This is why, no matter what you think of CG, they are in a no-win situation. They say nothing, they get bashed. They say anything, they get both bashed and misrepresented. Is it any wonder they prefer to say nothing?
