How can it be a resource management game if said resources keep losing their value/use as they are nerfed?

It is a collection game.. Collect the new shiny toy every 3 months..

Either you manage your resources effectively or you come to the forums and whine about how you don't have enough resources.

That's an over simplification. Gear is restricted so that CG can sell it. What tends to be in the advert pop ups ? Yes all the usual bits of gear that people are often short of.

I'm not arguing that the game doesn't require careful allocation of resources but the game is financed by creating bottlenecks.

As I stated in my first post in this thread, SWGoH is a resource management game. It starts on the first day you play the game and doesn't end until you quit. That's the way the game is designed. It's partly about monetization but also about longevity - this is a game where goals take weeks, months even years to achieve which is why those who stick with it are still playing years after we started.

nope.. collect the Rebel, Empire, Jedi/Sith, etc factions and now as the nerfs are coming, it's all about collecting GLs..

gear crunch absolutely is planned from the beginning, that's no debate..

it's the release of Kyrotechs and more relic requirements for the the GLs that is now the ONLY REASON to collect/play the game: collect all the GLs that is becoming truly unreasonable..

you do you, boo..

Nope, not seeing any coherent counterpoint there. You are actually agreeing that resource management was planned.

But hey, you do you, boo. :D

thanks! I will...

?

I find this all rather depressing

That's not really fair to say. Most people in this thread at least have offered solutions or suggestions and when you look around the community there is consistency when it comes to them having a gear crunch. Sure is there people out there that come just to complain? Yes, but the same can be said for several of your posts (HT being OP, GAC auto deploy etc). Just because the issue doesn't affect you doesn't mean it's not an issue and throwing out infamitory comments that are not constructive in any way doesn't really offer anything other than confrontation and trolling.

The "issue" does affect me. The difference is that I acknowledge it as a fundamental part of the game's design and work within its constraints.

As I said, just because YOU don't mind getting bent over the gear train doesn't mean others don't have valid points. You can acknowledge and accept any reality you want, it doesn't make it everyone else's. Just thr same as your "issues" which you have created several posts complaining or asking for help. Have you now accepted those all as fundamental parts of the game my friend?

Robots can sense feelings now?! What’s next, rockets to Mars?

Double the drops of characters, but leave credit and gears where they where prior. Not ideal. Have twice the character shards but no credits to level them up or gear to build them with.

The players (aka customers) have been waiting for CG to look into the gear crunch for almost a year (since they said they were looking at it. I know many of us have been wanting it eased far longer than that).

It is ridiculous that we are getting r9 before we get an answer to what they intend to do.

Last time I asked for an update, I was patient since thing take time but with them making the gear crunch worse before easing the previous bottlenecks, it's time we demand an answer on what will be done.

I really don’t know what they can do even if they give more gear to get to g12 or g13 I’m currently low on gear to salvage for r1 mats.

I guess whales just buy them but I can’t afford to farm them when they keep forcing you to farm toons.

The usual suspects.

Completely ignores and overlooks goalpost moving. Everything you’ve said would be fine, where the goalpost always in the same place. Then all that resource management is worth it.
