I'm skipping pages of content, but I want to say I love GCs and look forward to each one. It's fun to see how far my collection can take me. I also think it's fun to just play the game, and while GC is active, I can have unlimited battles - no worry about energy! I'm so glad they introduced GC. Last week I shelled out a little to finally unlock Beskar Mando. I was so disappointed there were no battles to use him in. With GC going, I feel like I get my money's worth, not because of the rewards, but because I get to use the toon I bought as much as I want.
As for the rewards, I preferred them before the crate system, but oh well.
