Don't totally disagree but that will never happen. FOMO is unfortunately a big part of the marketing strategy for these types of games.
Leaving money on the table is all it's doing. Can't see spending on anything other than the lightspeeds and the as a new player. Will have to wait till they come around again. All these starter bundles barely even unlocking old characters, is a no brainer to skip on everything until a lightspeed shows up.

Nonsense. CG will have metrics on how certain FOMO offers attract increased spending; particularly from players who don't tend to spend.
It's a well known and time tested strategy in any kind of selling environment to have time limited offers as they are known to consistently tempt people to spend when otherwise they may not.
You prove the point of this in that you've had a taste and now when they come around again you won't miss out.
Everything else that "looks weak for the price" clearly isn't for you as thats whale food and whales will spend much more, not to mention more consistently than someone like you looking around for bargain basement offers while they are playing with the latest toys.- SetaCA3 months agoRising Novice
I am spending on the latest toys, I want the old ones as well and that's what lightspeed bundles are, old toys. This is literally paying for old toys.
I might miss out though, my attention might be gone before they reappear. Which they do reappear hence why I say make them permanent, so I can play with them now. Be hard to wait 6+months for old toys. Money lost, the bargain basement offers are what they have on the store right now. The premium lightspeed offers are the only thing to get, why spend 20$ for a "starter" bundle which gets me crumbs compared to the lightspeed bundles.
The time it takes to get the characters to the levels of the lightspeed characters would be well past the time these bundles come back, thus making it pointless for someone like me to farm any character in a past lightspeed bundle as I will be buying them all (if I am still playing by then) when they reappear.

Meh. I guess if you only play SWGOH as a hero collector and nothing else, then I'd agree. If you want to participate in PVP and PVE (you know, actually use your characters) then just waiting for a LSB instead of working on the characters yourself seems like a silly hill to die on.
