How utterly unfair it is that, by blowing 5,000 crystals on the 'Holiday Character Trove Pack,' someone can get 330 shards of a toon they already have. One of the players in my Guild fell for the pack and I feel bad because they got a toon they already have at 7 stars - and now this puts them pretty far behind - of course unless they want to spend, spend, spend.
Really CG, how hard could it be to make sure a player received something of REAL VALUE vs. a literal complete waste of 5,000 crystals? Not too hard I imagine.
I don’t see the bait and switch or how it’s unfair?
The pack literally lays out who you can get for the crystals. There are some older toons that some may have 7* with others like Boush leia and Scariff Lando maybe at 4*. Some may not have any at 7* so it’s a win no matter what. The pack is going to have better value for younger rosters. Nobody forced your guild mate to buy that pack. If they only needed 4 out of the 20 characters but chose to buy it, then they took the gamble and lost unfortunately. That’s not on CG.
Have to agree.
1. They should you who the available toons are. So, you know going in getting one you already had is a possibility.
2. If you figure 80 crystals per shard is the going rate - that's 26.4K crystals to get 330 shards. Take it at 40 per shard and it's still 13.2k. They're giving you a shot a all shards for 5k. Is a gamble. The majority of their packs are gambles...for $X you get a shot at 3 of 6 of the following or 1 of 5, etc. But, they have to post odds, so technically speaking - it's gambling. They gambled and lost.
I'll give you this, last year's list the odds were in my favor and i took the risk and won. I looked at the list this year and figured at best it was a 50/50 bet and decided i'd rather not lose and passed. That's how it goes. The real bonehead option seems to be the ship version. I'm 6.5M GP so i have a lot of toons to go, but on ships? I have 4-5 that aren't 7*. Those odds are a joke for me. But, if you just got to ships, and you have 5K, it's kind of a no-brainer. One of the rare things that help the lower levels only.
