Doubling relic gear requirement madness
This game is near unplayable since they doubled the cost of relic materials. Why do it? Among the library full of bad decisions cg have made over the years, and this is the worst. I'm amazed it gets s...

You’re forgetting one additional group:
Those who have a small roster with only a handful of relic characters that still think the scavenger value of their gear being halved makes it “worthless”. Even though they still have well over a hundred characters they could apply the gear to in exactly the same way as before.
Before the tired old “CG apologist” trope gets wheeled out, I completely agree that an in-game message in our inboxes, even if all it did was point players to the forums for the details, should have been issued. Yes, serious players should take steps to keep informed, but to suggest this absolves the devs of any responsibility to give the player base a pointer to an upcoming major change doesn’t sit right with me.
Some of the loudest complainers about this issue spend half their time on the forums complaining about how few relic characters they have. Yet they also seem to think that their g12 gear - which would help them take more characters up to relics - has had its value halved. The g12 gear has more than one purpose. And its value for one of those purposes was not affected whatsoever.
Oh im not forgetting them.... there is more than what i listed and then several corner case smaller user groups.
I also agree the devs screwed up here. They didnt properly warn the user base of the negative impact. Even in the road ahead its only mentioned, not explorered or explained on how to avoid the negatives to your impacted gear.
Lack of in game pointing to the information and lack of clarity.... thats why i have an issue with it.
Long run im sure the extra gear will make me move on... but they did just take some value from me in the short term. That doesnt respect my investment.
Put it this way. Scopely, over in MSF, does a weekly blog and sends an in game link to it. Thats all that has to happen to have fairly given warning. Its on me to go read it or skip it. CG doesnt require a forum account and they dont give in game links to it regularly.
Perhaps steal from the competition and start a weekly info dump with in game notification... thats all this needed.
