Late Game State and Revenue
As a player analysing the set of events, I put a special mark to the Chewie release. That's the point where the constant bombardment of leg/hero events started. That has put the competetive/semi compe...

They would be making more money if they ever rotated the G12+ gear in weekly shipments, but they don't have the sense for it. 5 weeks of the same gear now!
I'm posting all the time about things they could be doing to make more money and satisfy people at the same time..... What I've come to realize is there are people a lot smarter than me dictating what they do because it will make more money than whatever I think.....
Sometimes I question the sanity of those people....but again fiscally speaking they are the ones with the "how to make money on phone games degrees from phoenix university" experts..... no matter what I think they have to be smarter than me right ? I'm just a drunk trailer park supervisor from sunnyvale...the liquor tells me what to do and think
You posting mostly ship stuff...
That does not make money and isn't enjoyable. I question your sanity, for liking ships.
Why would ships make money.....nothing to do, no reason to buy... same with toons right now and possible reason for income decline.... Events stale, TB stale (being remedied), TW going mega stale for the future, Raid on sim (this is good hopefully tank soon), HSTR all that's left and while NOT trivial for a large percentage of the game... my guess it's vastly trivial to the people who do spend all the money in this game... How do you release content only for the TIP (crazy hard) without angering or severly hampering the other million people... I'm guessing can only be done with a raid and rewards are the problem... Tier 1-6 need in include all the rewards tier 7 has...just at a decreased rate that way guilds don't break up people dont' whine.... whaletips get satisfaction.... everyone else catches up in 2 years
HSTR rewards and distribution are the worst
There is a reason ships are un-enjoyable for some people and that can be remedied and be the last possible refuge to make money in the game down the road....
It's touchy.... The TIP hates ships because there is kind of no way for them to dominate people and get that "i'm the best buzz" that's why there is still lots of ways to monetize ships... and again at the same time probably the majority of F2P players are actually only Surviving on ship crystal income... I'm not sure what kind of effect that will have totally yanking it away from them...
anyway ship kits have not flown the coop totally yet and with only 42 ships honestly I really do feel down the road ships is going to be one of the last refuges CG has to make money in the game...
I don't care either way I just want more ship content...so yeah I"m greedy
They will never run out of content. At least 2 new tv shows coming to Disney + with another set of movies just announced. Disney isnt about to stop making money on this franchise. As long as EA has gaming rights this game will move along. Star Wars always captures peoples hearts and wallets.
Having content is not the problem never was and your right never will be. The problem is having a reason to spend on that content. Why no one cares about ships because there is nothing to do or any reason to spend there.
There is an unlimited amount of toons that can be released.... But what in game content is available to make you want to spend on it....
This GA has 6 D spots for my GP... I don't think people will spend the kind of money they used to for a Grand Arena TW team (they might but not like they used to).
Same for TW.io
Arena- people will always spend for this...but arena toons and kits enticing people to spend are getting out of hand.
Raids- people will spend on toons to complete a raid always.. HSTR created a bump in revanue right ? How do they release a new raid (they never probably intended to make as HSTR was supposed to be the be all end all right ?) where it's god awful hard enough for the TIP to keep them spending while not making the lower tier rewards so bad that the rest of the game don't rage...... HSTR rewards are arguably pathetic for T1-6 and for the bottom 40 in heroic.... HSTR is basically boiled down to can you get top 10 in heroic yes AMAZING. No.... now you have what 97 % of the game scrambling to find a guild they can get top 10 in or just not giving a rat's patoot.
The problem is a new raid will end up the same way if rewards structure is the same 97% of the game just won't give a patoot BUT that 3% will and fund the game for another year......at that point I would probably personally just be happy we get another year do my moaning and whining about the rewards structure BUT STILL BE HAPPY FOR THAT extra year of play.
Everything else.... currently no PVE content outside of one or two teams may need to be geared for new TB map that anyone would even consider spending on..,..
All the new amazing toons and teams that can be coming for movies, books, cartoons, streaming shows do not mean crap from a money point of view if there is no where to use them to earn something outside of arena.
