Did you really lock regular path points behind the Episode pass?

It's the Blind leading the sheep. CG's goals have so radically deviated from the player base that I see no resolution. From what I can glean from most of the players in my Guild and in my various discord communities; peeps are gonna wait a bit but they hold little hope for the game to recover. The strategy to release a new marquee every 2 weeks while putting a monetary stranglehold on the obtaining of the rewards required to this 150% increase in characters, seems tone deaf or even incompetent. The majority are resolved not to spend a penny and see if the rest of the player base sends enough of a message thru a lack of spend to cause a course correction. These are truly dark times for a great community that doesn't deserve this kind of abuse. JUST DON'T SPEND ANYMORE GUYS! 🛑FULL STOP! 🛑
