Conquest - Just Can't Anymore... :(
I loved Conquest so much when it first came out. It felt like it really could live up to the promise of giving a use to the huge collections of toons that so many of us have cultivated (I have 10M+ G...

Why couldn’t Easy Mode provide a Princess Lea or Low Level Character.
Because
She's in a store
No need
That's not his point and Im fairly certain you know that.
What if beginner mode week 1 gave a 7* Wrecker, week 2 gave a 7* Hunter, and week 3 gave a 7* Omega?
The player would be 3/5 of the way to a BB squad and on their way to LV as a possible GL but more importantly to CG, this may encourage that player to push (i.e. spend) to get that squad up and running because they see progress.
I am 9.1 million GP and don't have those characters at 7 stars as Vader hasn't been my focus yet. Why should CG give them away free to beginners?
Did you get Scout Trooper for free? Will a new player starting in 3 months get Scout Trooper for free? Did you get a free Lobot this month? Did you get a free Iden when she was a Marquee?
I'll make you a deal. Ask CG to delete every character that you've received for free from your account and I will pay for you to have a 7* Wrecker, Hunter and Omega.
Who got a free 7* Scout Trooper? Who got a free 7* Lobot? Who got a free 7* Iden? I didn't get any of those. Lots of people got a free 7* Fulcrum - but not me.
I don't remember ever getting 330 shards of any character for free. If you're referring to marquees - well we all still had to farm those characters to 7* to actually do anything with them, or buy the shards with crystals. Also, they're all accelerated now except for the newest of the new. Additionally, CG has got in the habit of re-running marquee events for people that missed them. I do think they should do more of that, but that's beside the point. I'm all for catch-up mechanics but tossing out 7* characters basically as participation trophies every month is a bit aggressive.
If you want to make a case for giving away old character shards in easier conquest boxes, that's fine - but I think a sanity check is warranted when we start talking about giving away 330 shards at a time. They recently did that with fulcrum - and that's fine - I'm glad people are getting her - but there's a big difference between doing that one time with one character and doing it once a month. And what about players that come along next month or the month after? Should they just be gifted all the 7* characters that they missed in previous conquests?
It takes time to build a roster. That's the game. If you're new and you don't like that... I don't know what to say. It goes a lot faster now than it used to. It's not supposed to be quick. It never was.
As an aside, I'm not sure why we're even having a conversation about conquest rewards - other than the fact that PlayerJ manages to derail every thread he posts in. But CG isn't going to change the rewards. The rewards are what they are - if they're not worth it - then don't do conquest, I guess? That's a great way to significantly slow down your roster development, but hey, whatever works.
