Jedi Revan: Minimum Expectations
So word has it that Jedi Revan was not quite (or even nearly) up to par, hence no kit reveal last week. The decision to work on Revan this past weekend was absolutely the right one. The question i...

If you can’t get him due to monetary restraints, lack of time, foresight, resource management, or whatever then I don’t see how you can complain all that much. Something put behind any kind of wall should be more on the OP side than beatable side. If I don’t get him and I get kicked around in arena for 4-6 months then that’s on me. That probably is not a popular opinion but you know what? I don’t care. People cannot have everything right away. Get over it.
See this is a common opinion amongst the 'prepared' masses. That players in my bracket screwed up by not doing... well by not doing 'whatever' and that players like me must be angry because we can't get him on the first try.
Except that's not what was upsetting about this at all for people like me. I won't get him first drop because CG priced me out. That's fine -- I won't die. I'll be fine and I will get him someday.
What upsets me is that this is a clear signal of a change in how CG views players like me. I've been able to prepared and reasonably think ahead and spend resources for three years. I've been able to get nearly everything this way. I got Palp and Yoda on second pass. I got Thrawn at 6* on first pass. I got CLS with minor spend. I got BB-8 at 7* on first pass. I got JTR with a reasonable spend. I was only late on Chimaera. I've always been willing to spend at a certain threshhold, and I certainly was here too. But this time -- for whatever reason (be it ignorance, foolishness, malice, calculated decision, whatever) CG decided that they don't want *my* money -- so they can't have it.
Everything has always been structured so that it's obtainable with forethought and planning, and that the target is often just slightly beyond what players like me can do - encouraging us to take a little extra jump. This event is different and it's such a clear signal that I'm not in their sights anymore. That their strategy now excludes me as a primary customer.
Part of what I always loved about SWGOH was that it was not nearly as abusive with exclusivity as other mobile games of its ilk. That looks like its maybe just changed. Where it lands I dunno -- but I do know that if CG decides that it doesn't want *my* money anymore, that they aren't going to get any of it.
