General Hux question - EA reply possible?

I just had a 40 minute conversation with a perfectly nice employee of EA's Customer Support Team, but apparently they have no capabilities to solve my issue and directed me to post here.

Prior to last week, I don't believe I have ever spent crystals on pack openings. That being said, Hux looked fantastic, so I spent about 10,000 crystals on packs.

This morning (UK time) I noticed you have changed the character significantly, making him far worse. I understand you can't have a relatively free-to-play character beating the pay-to-win meta team, but given the delay in release I naively thought you had considered that. As such though, I now have spent 10,000 on a borderline useless character - obviously there will be some use, but all that really matters is Squad Arena, and he won't be used there*.

Therefore, all I wanted was for you to take away the shards I received from the packs, and reinstate my 10,000 or so crystals.

The customer support representative seemed incredibly positive and optimistic I'd get a reply - so I look forward to it.

Thank you

* I know several times in the Q&A you've said you want to divert people away from Squad Arena as the only thing that matters as ultimately crystals control the game and that's the best place for them. I'm ignoring fleet. But until such a time GAC or other places give remotely comparable crystal payouts, I'd guess the majority of the player base won't stop caring about SA as the priority.

    Did u buy crystals? If you did... you know what you can do.
  • Wait till the new Kylo and any other new characters come out, then make a decision as to whether or not Hux is useless and if you'll be using him in the arena.
  • @MagicMatthews99 That's a very fair comment. But currently Hux is absolutely not arena viable, I don't think anyone in a mature shard would disagree with that, and that's my issue. Plus if a new Kylo is that good it'll just be a standard paywall thing again.

    @Eddiemundie Yes and no to buying the crystals, I have brought crystals generally, but I've also been saving for the aforementioned next huge paywall. The last vault purchase was not in the last 30-60 days so I don't think I can do anything there
  • Does anyone know if we can tag members of the CG team in the forums to get something infront of them? If so, any idea who the relevant one would be? I only know Lucifer is for suspected cheats?
  • Allegedly the team reads the forums. So it is possible that you might get response. I wouldn't bet a lot of crystals on it. You could always try @CG_SBCrumb .
