Credit Crunch
Sitting on ~4 MM in promotions...not spending 1 penny on credit packs. I already paid for the shards.... This needs to change. 7* - Mace, Rex, Phasma 6* - Clone Searge 4* - NS Init, Han, Resistan...

It's funny when ppl try to say that gear selling was removed as a strategy to limit the amount of credits available. Gear used to sell for 20-40 credits a piece. Let's say you had 200 extra of a piece (which would take at the very least 1,200 energy to get, assuming 100% drop rate), that would net you a grand total of ~4,000-8,000 credits. Just by comparison, you get 5,000 credits per 12 energy in the late cantina battles today.
Which is why the amounts that the items sold for should have been updated, rather than removing the interface and leaving us with gear in excess quantities that has no use and no planned use (per the devs).
I tended not to sell items there but some people did. Some even sold excess training droids, and this could amount to hundreds of thousands of credits.
Fewer options is worse than more.
Didn't you start posting in this thread about how the developers intentionally choked credit flows by removing the gear selling option? Then I point out the ridiculously low profit from those sales, and now you say that the problem was that they should have sold for more? If they sold for too little (as I showed), removing them wouldn't impede the credit flow. Which was your original contention. Make up your mind.

Finally, the Profit mining event. Previously, you could only play it for an hour per day and it cost 50 energy to play. This means that it just wasn't possible to play it more than at most four times per day, and that's assuming you were still using at least one crystal refill. Nowadays you can play the event whenever and how many times you want. The payout has been reduced accordingly.
This is completely inaccurate. It never took very long to run the event, and people could (and did) refill energy multiple times if they needed credits. Many people used this to get far greater quantities of credits than are possible now.
The hour was never a limiting factor, and removing it has no relevance when the new system pays out so poorly. Even attempting to justify this change is bizarre.
We were told the new event would be an improvement. It objectively is not, and everyone knows it, most importantly including them.
They changed this event because so very few were even using it, bud. We both know this. The "many" of which you speak is just a rhetorical figure now, handy for making points about how much better everything was back in the day.
The hour is naturally a limiting factor since it forced you to output a big amount of energy all at once instead of spread out during the day - thereby necessitating the use of crystals to farm for credits. I really don't understand how that could not be a limiting factor in your view.
I also note that you ignore my reminder that we've been given an additional 135 energy nowadays to use as we please. Guess that doesn't fit your doom and gloom agenda either.
Maybe it doesn't add enough to cover up for the reduced output of the event. I wouldn't know since I don't have a feeling for how often the 2x and 3x bonuses proc. On the other hand, instead of being forced to spend premium currency - crystals - to farm credits, it's now more open to the players.

Next time, if you want to discuss the evil and greed of the developers, at least make a small attempt to make a fair case. Don't just pile up all the negative and then jump to malicious conclusions. That's why we can't have nice things.
I actually haven't made a small attempt to make a fair case. I've made a LARGE attempt to make a fair case: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/14099/generosity-analysis
That includes many of the items you mentioned and dozens more.
Cool. I'll read it later.

I never said the company was greedy in all respects. But they are being so here. I always strive to give credit where it is due. However, I also will call things out that are negatives when I see them.
Gonna have to disagree with you here. You are definitely calling them greedy. That you didn't call them greedy "in all respects" and that you try to be fair, is just lawyer talk to my ears.
