I have mixed feelings on this. On one hand the changes they made combined with conquest loot really has helped a lot. On the other hand, I still have a ton of characters stuck at G12 waiting on the same gear, particularly gold furnaces and Kyros.
In June I stopped all gearing to hoard for Malgus. In six weeks starting from more or less zero, I saved enough to take him from 0 to R8. (Only spend was $9.99 conquest packs). I had an excess of 3 stun gun/carbs and enough finishers to take Cassian from G11 to R5 when the conquest ended. If I use that as a yardstick, I can take ~9 characters a year up to high relic for GL’s, capital ships, etc. Since there are over 200 characters in game, that is a 4% rate, meaning 25 yrs to develop a full roster.
Still seems a bit long for a mobile game, even one with a long a shelf life as SWGOH.
