As for dissent, feel free, it's your choice. I'm from USA, where people are allowed to express their ideas. But I don't buy it, that the game is as bad as the group thinkers say who dismiss entirely a fun game. At the core of the idea that this is a terrible game is the spirit of entitlement. Deep down, those complaining are trying to manipulate the outcome to their benefit at the expense of others. To heck with my neighbor, I want to win and I want to win now. If it weren't for this desire to win, the complaints have nothing to stand on, but would instead readily accept SWGOH for what it is, a phone game that's fun to play and pass the time. But as I said, and the only thing I said, is if you're unhappy with your entertainment, that's on you, not the devs or EA/CG. Once you see that, Then you'll be happy. You see, at the core, I am concerned for the well-being of my complaining gamers.
You know, I got a warning for saying Jesus once, in a reaction to a thread. Kinda made me a bit salty, so I'm gonna report you for this post, just for jokes, lemme know if something actually comes out of it. Since religion is against TOS. Jesus however can be someone's name. Also I didn't even start a religion debate..
Anyways, there are so many problems with this game, people just want them fixed. They see the potential of what the game could be, but it has so many imbalances, bugs and the occasional cash grab holding it back. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out, nor does it take people, trying to fit in to realize that...
Look at the last update, 350k a day, and free mod removal. That's our reward for going through everything that happened the prior week. THE TOUGHEST WEEK this game has ever had, we only got 350k in credits, and free mod removal, oh wait and some chewy shards, can't forget that! Oh I'm sorry, I forgot, they're also doing a +25 percent extra bonus deal, on only the 100 dollar crystal pack, and the 50 dollar one, okay that seems fair right? There are so many reasons to complain about this game, people do it because they want the game to become better, they want stoopid things like random +20 chewy shards as an apology, to no longer happen. The mod fiasco was the worst thing, I've ever witnessed in a video game, people aren't forming these opinions just because their friends are.
People are tired of the game not treating their players fairly. Especially their paying players.. And like I always say on here, when people pay their hard earned cash money, *bird man hand rub*, they have a right to complain when the product is poor. Yes, some people can look past all the bugs and they're having loads of fun, I am one of them currently but that doesn't mean I don't want any of the problems plaguing the game left alone. The biggest problem right now is the lack of credits and it is failing to be acknowledged in a proper way. I dislike how the game is currently built on an addictive gambling-esque model pressuring people to spend in the right now but what can I do? They don't listen to any of my recommendations on how to treat their customers better, and make money at the same time. It really feels like you're wasting your time when you propose something meaningful and you get no responses. Remember that "balance specialist thread"? It got closed, and it only had 6 responses by the time it ended.

Comments like this are an example of what I'm talking about. Once I read something like this I stop reading and ignore the whole post.
1) The company is entitled to make a profit. They are not a non-profit charity. There are investors, employees and vendors who all have this game as a source of income. There is nothing wrong with making a profit. So why make EA/CG sound evil for doing what it's supposed to do, and that is to make a profit? I should hold you to the same standard: you my friend can't take home a pay check, because it's a money grab!
2) I feel others repeat this same garbage, without even thinking it through as to what is meant by it. Thus my 'trolling' on group think.
3) If your comments were taken to the Nth degree and profit wasn't apart of the business model, this game would not exist. Then what?
4) "It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out?" So there is now pressure in your statement to accept this statement as fact when its false. Again, my trolling on group think.
5) "Nor does it take people who are trying to fit in" ... my point has nothing to do with people trying to fit in.
This is what I mean by group think.
group think
2.
the lack of individual creativity that is sometimes characteristic of group interaction.
Thus the title to my post, where has all the original ideas gone?
You seem authentic, but sorry, I didn't read the rest of your post, because I won't go there.
