Based on the up coming tournament schedule, no one in charge is listening. It appears the tournaments are a good revenue stream somehow. Otherwise they would not be running them. I hate them and refuse to spend anymore ally points on them. But I don't see an end coming. Apparently customer feedback is a thing of the past.

It's definitely about money, because everyone said they hated them, and EA responded with what, 6 more in the next month?
Thought it's probably because tournaments also slow down the progress of the game. If you notice, it's been forever since a character was added somewhere other than a cantina node (besides Windu).

I do wonder how they make money off tourneys rather than Aurodiums and chromiums.

Or maybe they just want to keep the whales satisfied for now

They make money not with the tournament alone but lots of people get shards / low star toons, then they bring out some awful shard pack to bait people into buying in the hope they will level up that character to the next level.

This is exactly how they make money off tournaments. It's off the back-end, not the front end. Look how many people bought the packs for Shoretrooper recently to either activate him or star him up.

What is the difference between 1 or 10 resets? Biggest roster wins anyway if you spend the time (and they will because they are forced to). I prefer no resets, just battle it out with the toons you have just like heroic raids.

I think having limited resets is a much better option. Without them the only people that will place highly in the tourney are the whales. At least this way I have a chance every so often of beating them.

If there are limited resets you will never beat a deeper roster. Ever. If you don't have a deeper roster than others, the only way you can win is by having a way to refresh your team(s).
