Era units levels

Last era I had all chars at 3* except KX and Partagaz at 4. With f2p only mats and no crystals spent on mats I was able to get the three-star toons to g12 and the last two to g13. This time I have spent way more, with all toons at four stars and the snowtrooper commander will hit five this week. If I end up with any of them below g12 because CG has skimped on the mats, I am quitting. So far Rotta and two others are at 110, one is stuck at 109, and the rest are at 85. It's not looking good, but after five years of watching CG get greedier and greedier I'm happy to call it a day. 

It's worse than that.  Even CG doesn't know what is going to happen with era and coliseum events.  There's not been a common-sense checker at CG for years.  And EA coming in to tell them how to be extra incompetent and anti-customer makes things even worse.  

I'd like to take a tour of CG just so I can see the EA types walking around with a clipboard writing devs up for making things in the game "too fun" or "work correctly the first time."  You're supposed to be planning for the game 3-5 years out, but you don't even know what's going to happen when each era character is released.

CG think that if people are close to G13, then they'll just buy the pack. I won't do that, I won't bother getting everyone to 5* next time because there's no value in it

They definitely screwed us.  I was just upgrading and not really paying attention, so I was taking everyone to 110 one by one.  Now it is impossible for me to get ST to 110 which prevents me from taking Rotta to 6*.  On top of that, both Ward and R5 will be stuck in the 90's because CG is abysmal at communication of what is actually going on with these changes.  This is really the first time I have actually considered just selling my account and calling it a day.
