If this is true, I could come up with better ideas if I were in a coma. No whale cares about this and no other player with two brain cells to rub together does either. It's a terrible deal for, at best, the tail end of the curve.
Look at the monetization moves with respect to whales in the last few months. Most of them make absolutely no sense, and any other game would be in serious trouble from all the lost revenue they are leaving on the table. This game is just taking in so much money because of the Star Wars brand that they can do whatever they want and they'll be golden, whether it makes sense or not. But they could be making millions more if the people in charge of monetization had any sort of long-term view.
The only move that encouraged whales spending was introducing aurodiums, which I have never bought but were a good idea (and I said so at the time). Everything else has been terrible. At the top of the list, the nearly-useless Shard Shop, which was intended for whales, is reviled by nearly all of them, and hasn't been improved despite now being out for weeks.
