Is anyone at all happy with the shard shop?

It's function is so that they didn't have make toons you've completed stop dropping out of crystal packs, so your chances at getting pack exclusive characters never improves insuring you have to keep buying them, it's designed to seem like it's a there to help when it's really there to insure $$$ keeps flowing in.

I'd like it if the exchange rate wasn't so absurd. I'd like it even more if you could trade in whole characters you never wanted but got in a pack. Then at least you wouldn't have to look at their 1 star mugs every day. Or am I the only one with that problem?

In my opinion, the exchange rate is perfect. It's not "impossible" to make use of the Shard Shop, but it is not easy either, which was its intended purpose. People seem to overlook its function; to be rid of shards you unfortunately get, this should not be a viable method of farming characters.

What i dislike about the Shard Shop is the lack of a refresh button, or the ability to chose any character shard you want. This would entice more people to utilize the Shard Shop. Another complaint of mine is the increased cost of General Grievous shards, yet I understand that changing that at this point would create a big uproar from people already invested in obtaining his shards.

These are my two cents.

I love the shard shop. I turn in the random shards I can't use, check every day to see if very hard to get characters (Vader) show up, and I get SOMETHING for those extra shards.

I also ignore Grievous, because he's a bonus for people WAY above my contribution rate. I don't whine about this obvious fact.

2 shards exchange for 30 currency. They sell 2 shards for a cost of 300 currency. 10× what they pay you for them. that's frelling absurd and quit frankly a huge slap in the face. I'm holding onto my extra shards until they lower the cost and up the payout. I won't support they're idiotic system

The shard shop is a joke... and its on the cheap skates like me who can't afford to put $500 or more in this game (i have $30 invested ) i have Asajj Ventress to 7 stars, and grevious seems to be forever out of reach . I won't sacrifice a dozen could be powerful characters to get one weakened, non fighting, easy to kill grevious. Ive seen him in the arena, with yoda.. and i killed them both without fear, or hesitation.

The 10:1 exchange rate is, absurd.

When there was the "bug" and 2 shards cost 150 shard currency, it was almost usable. Of course that was nerfed asap. Every other shop in the game is 5 shards for 400 currency. This one is 750 currency for 5 shards, or 150 per shard versus 80 per shard elsewhere. This is on top of only getting 15 currency credit for a shard.

I will never buy a shards here until either an excess shard is increased in value, or the cost/shard is 80 currency.

Shard shop supposed has it own potential, just whhhhy cg you put crappy content in there and leave it alone
Feedback: They can just make all shard convert able and as for 7star toon exceed shard convert for double shard point at least people feel rewarded by having 7s, and other addition such, daily task(shard), first 10 shard trade got triple shard point per day, convert to cantina/arena token etc.

I think it sucks, but I also don't think it should be changed... If it was easy, It would be too cheap of a way to get toons for people that can't figure out how to beat levels on their own.. And it diminishes the value of toons people paid for. I hate ptw, but ptw is how free games like this can exist. Its not like owning a server or having a group of people coding and testing things doesn't cost money..

Shard Shop isn't even a necessary function for the game! Its a nice bonus they added. IMHO

Accept the challenge to unlock new Hard or Cantina Battles. Beat them and earn shards. Farm hard for something you CANT beat or cant afford to pay w/ real money...

EDIT: I would joyfully welcome a better ratio. But I don't expect it and I won't be mad if there is none.

The exchange rate is too high for a average player, even if u play 12hours a day for 3 or 4 month also not easy though to exchange the shards u need for characters you need,

unless u really can get free shards in store for characters u already own 7* and put those extra shards to exchange but still....

Far than enough to exchange with this little luck....

This rate is just like saying, if you not using cash for this game, than you better wait another century for the thing that you need ? agree ?

Free game is good but if too focus on cash item, will cause the server not balance enough within players.
