We wouldn’t be so frustrated if they didn’t make GAC our main source of crystals instead of arena.

We were told there would be minimal disruption to our income due to this switch from Squad Arena to GAC, but as this “make good” shows, they are misleading everyone.

Did you forget about this statement, CG? The minimal change in crystal income you said we’d experience due to the change to GAC?

For those of us in K1 who used to take 1st in arena every day, that’s turned out to be a crock of ****. This “make good” only reiterates that.

If you are in K1 you are earning more crystals than you used to just by winning half the time

That’s true, except for the week in question where we didn’t get any rewards.

Don’t you guys see that if the next GAC is delayed a week, we’ll still be missing a week of rewards?

Rewards shifted and rewards missing are two different things. we would be missing a week of rewards if they cancelled the final week

im not saying if 1k + 1k is too high or too low, i dont have the brain space to calculate it - but rewards arent missing

Would you think the same if your boss tells you that your salary gets paid a month delayed? And all following salaries will follow the usual monthly cadence? Would you still say you didn't lose a month's worth of money, it is just delayed but eventually it will get paid? Only difference is, GAC was delayed by a week, not a month

is my boss giving me a bonus to make up for the delay?

Actually he is. But as you are paid for effort, you feel like he is paying you less than you would have gained for a regular working month.

so "feel like" then

is it actually less or it just feels that way

good question. What do you think?

what do you think?

I think this comment on Reddit is the best take I've seen on the compensation:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfHeroes/comments/stjc2w/grand_arenas_reschedule_update_inbox_this_week/hx4p2vo/

tl;dr - For a 0.500 K1 player, the loss of crystals after the make good is about 400-500 in total.

I'd like to add, as others have pointed out, that the delay in the compensation did negatively affect some folks grinding for Executor. Also, when CG messes up hard like this, why are they so calculated in their response? Okay, it's probably EA shenanigans. But just throw some crystals out there on top of the calculated compensation to garner some good will, if EA will let you.

I think the calculation in the reddit post is reasonable and the make good is quite ok. But I can't see the extra stuff for inconvenience.
So I would like to see how CG calculated how much the delay has cost us.
