As I aimed before, when JKR dropped I knew eventually Darth revan will come too. And I focused on that.

The word “focused” is misleading. You actually mean you “spent” on that. There are players who didn’t spend on either and will be getting anyway - that is called focus.

Darth Revan was the first and only time I will spend on this game. I spent $170 to unlock the characters for him since he was by far my most wanted character when I started to play this game. I have been putting everything i could into leveling him and the rest of the sith empire team up so I can use them in arena and now it seems like the missing piece for that team is coming out and I am going to be just short. I have 4/5 on each team at 17,500 but I am to far off on the other 2 to have any chance. This really sucks.

That's part of the weirdness/shortsightedness about this: By giving such little notice and making the event so brief, they are preventing more than a few would-be whales from giving them money to be able to participate.

One wonders what the thinking (if any) behind such a business-decision might be.

The 17,500 requirement is wrong, simply because it's not only dependent on Gear but also on Omegas and Zetas that are impossible to whale out.
So unless you have a good amount of those in stock (which I doubt most people have due the increasing difficulty of events and amount of new good characters to gear up), you are screwed.

yeah making it depend on things you cant buy like zetas makes no sense to me. I desperately want Malak but my only option would be to get their gp with gear but a lot of gear isnt even always available, plus we are limited in how much when can buy when it is available. This is such an odd paywall for them to do.

So why is Malak's event requirement so high considering he is not as powerful as Darth Revan? At this point CG might as well make this game exclusively for whales only. Honestly their greed will be the end of this game just like it was for Star Wars Force Arena!

Remember this is the same guy who thinks Arena chats are dishonorable because his team is so good. The game will always be changing. Nobody can buy one char and rule the top forever.

How is this related to the topic at hand?

Shows your intent and perspective. Everyone is on the same playing field. Why do we need to know that you regret spending. Sorry I do not have sympathy because you spent money lots of people spend to support the game.

What is the purpose of this thread other than to try and start a flame war on spending. You did not need to start a new tread on it and it should be merged in the Star-forge mega thread.

If spending money on a game is to support them they would name it DONATION.
I spend money to get something in return, and not to be nerfed next week or so. Directly or indirectly. When I spend I know for what I spend. If changes are made it totally changes my investment too.

Except that nothing changed. You still have Darth Revan. You got what you paid for. Where is the evidence that your investment has been nerfed directly or indirectly? When you can show that then maybe you have something. Till then this is nothing but buyers regret for....wait for it....something else that has come along. You paid for Darth Revan. Not Malak. So carry your woe is me perspective to a galaxy far, far away because I doubt you will find much sympathy for your plight here.

The answer is: I wouldn't drop cash or that much cash if I known the jedis will get buffed and I will needed jkr too to unlock the last part for DR teams.
That is why I did not dropped for anything else before DR

Money only buys a temporary advantage - a "head start" in many cases. That's they way its always been.

The issue lately is that that advantage costs more money, doesn't last as long as it had previously and the demands for a "new" advantage comes much quicker.

TL;DR - they want you to keep paying. Only now, they want you to pay more money, more often for an advantage that won't last very long. Then they'll do it again.

Interestingly, if that sounds oddly similar to the relationship an addict has with his/her junkie, then all is WAI.

Welcome to SWGOH. I'm sure you can quit anytime.

I didn't wanted him. I wanted Darth Revan eventually when they announced jedi revan will be added to the game I was shore the sith version will come too

You're still going to dominate Grand Arena. Cheer up.

No fluff at all in your roster.

But why take rose to level 40?

Because he never farmed them. 1.2 gp with Darth Revan.

Rose was an early bronzium pack drop. I used her until I had better to replace her

Yes, I made my homework before start to build my roster.
