With the new TB giving out reduced GET Mk 1 (in exchange for giving out more total rewards in the form of GET Mk 2), is there any plan to reduce the cost of the characters only obtainable through GET Mk 1? Would it be possible to reevaluate the new TB rewards and make the GET Mk 1 rewards higher to approximately match the rewards received from the Hoth TB? In my guild's last Hoth TB (just before Geonosis came out), we earned ~8500 GET (once you include the daily payouts for special missions). This last time, we earned ~5000. The GET Mk 2 are critical to getting the Negotiator so we don't want to stop doing the new TB, but now that a large group of our guild has unlocked Malak, we are really feeling the difference in the GET Mk 1 income. A difference of ~7000 GET per month (2 TBs per month) is a HUGE difference in income and drastically affects the amount of time it takes to complete characters. From unlock to 7*, I believe we are looking at 6+ months of using GET Mk 1 ONLY for Malak shards. If someone also wants to buy stun guns, it may be up to 9-12 months before they get to 7*. This is in comparison to the ~4 months when Hoth was the only TB. A 40% decrease in income for a vital currency is not appreciated even if it is accompanied by a new currency with new rewards. Currencies are not interchangeable, an increase in income for a new currency does nothing to counteract the decrease in income for another currency.

We were earning 43/45 stars in LS Hoth and 46/48 in DS Hoth... we are now earning 20-22 stars in Geonosis. That's pretty close to the expected change between the two (actually a little better, but we've all gotten better gear in the meantime). There's very little else we can achieve in the Hoth TB. The only difference is the massive drop off in points between the expected achievements between the two. This was discussed when they first talked about the progression in https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/206500/dark-side-geonosis-territory-battle-difficulty-progression#latest . You can already see that even if we got 33 stars (an impossibility right now for even the best guilds), there would still be a drop in GET Mk 1. I am arguing now, that after a few months of looking at it, I believe this is unacceptable due to the incapability of exchange between the two currencies. An increase in one affects the other not at all.

Should’ve saved up all your GET when Malak was first announced

Why should your Malak now be cheaper than my Malak then?

So because I skipped buying gear to have enough GET to 7 star malak this go around you should be able to have spent your GET on gear AND be able to buy malak for cheaper?

Why should CG give you an absurd amount of GET1 when you're already getting a ton of GET2.

Stop playing GEO TB if you need GET1 so much.

Random player: You should have saved GET 1 to be able to 7* Malak instantly.

Also Random Player:
1. Has 5M+ GP or at least completed the core meta characters of every meta in the game thus far and only has some trash chars as projects left such as Jawas and Tuskens.
2. Has been playing since the beginning of time.
3. Is a Team Instinct member or any of the uber whale guilds.
4. Is an UBER WHALE.
5. All of the above.

I swear to god whenever I hear the saving argument it triggers me beyond Earth and The Miky Way.

NOT EVERYONE STARTED THIS GAME AT LAUNCH. SOME OF US ARE RECENT PLAYERS OR NOT AS OLD AS YOU TO AFFORD THE LUXURY OF SAVING. WE ALSO DIDNT WHALE ON THE GAME AT ANY META OR POINT IN TIME TO THEN CALL OURSELVES “I AM NOW MAGICALLY F2P” DESPITE GAINING A MASSIVE TIME ADVANTAGE OVER EVERYONE ELSE.

This is pretty much the real world equivalent of old farts telling young people you should have saved money for college instead of taking on a student loan 4Head.

And all of this is coming from the perspective of a full f2p late 2017 player who owns Malak the 2nd time around and has never spent a penny on the game, never been inside a top 20 guild/whale guild even before Geo TB, was not gaining a ton of GET from Hoth either, and doesnt have a fetish for seeing other people suffer or for being superior in a game where your wallet can count more than actual skill.

This is the concept known as a -trade off-.

Let's try it with numbers. Let's say you spent all 68,400 currency on stun guns. Meanwhile I saved it all to 7star malak on the 2nd run. While I'm saving for malak you would have bought 1,425 stun guns. Me, 0. I go and buy malak with my currency and start buying stun guns. You start buying malak, but you get him at half the price. So in the time it takes you to get 34,400 currency I will buy 712.5 stun guns.

So, you are saying because you got gear first you should get 700 more stun guns then me for the same amount of overall currency. How is that fair exactly?
