Bottom line here is that marquees are old. $250-300 on average to 7* or wait three months so you start farming on a hard node at 5 attempts per day is old. As I mentioned MSF, who has its own share of problems, they release toons through a variety of different methods, including updating their stores(something CG absolutely hates to do). Why haven’t we seen more galactic chases or anything truly new? Why can’t the stores get a new toon? Would that really hurt so bad to throw the players a bone?

Because it requires effort. Effort and SWGOH are not on speaking terms at the moment.

does MSF have something like the shard shop?

I would say that yes, going back on their word and adding toons to stores where they told players it was "safe to spend" currency is bad for the player base.

Simply telling the players with enough time in advance would solve the “safe to spend” problem. Besides, CG doesn’t care what we think, otherwise we wouldnt have to relic Rose...you know...after they told us that not all requirements would need relics....so they can just do an “internal review” and change it. Simple.

You really think Rose, one of the named characters, was not going to require relics? Thats like saying they won't require Lando for GL Luke lol

Ok, I can buy that. Just replace Rose's name with Res Pilot, Res Trooper, Poe...or any of the other garbage toon that no one would relic if it wasnt a requirement.

do they have a shard shop? still didn't get an answer here.

the shard shop supplies us with gear, so its not as simple as saying stop spending we are going to change things. once they change the dynamic players will have to go back to choosing between shards and gear.

funny you say they dont care what we think, since they locked the stores and expanded what was in the shard shop to help with the gear crunch, which helped relieve the crunch at that time. but as always dont let facts get in the way of a good jab at someone you have never met before.

also, when they say "subject to change", that means things may change. its ok its not like it was in red bold letters or anything

Yes, they do have a shard shop, but gear isn't the topic here, shards are.

It comes down to choice. Adding a character to any of the shops, a player would have to choose, either you want the gear or you want the character.....its the very same choice that is made everyday in Cantina...you want signal data or do you want character shards? Do you want to waste gear on chasing the GL's, or ignore them and farm and gear what you want. There is no difference. Another example is GET...you want GG or GK ship shards or gear? The other stores should be held to the same standard.

Im not jabbing at anyone, but at CG as a whole, but its how I feel. In my opinion, CG does not care about its players, as evidenced by their own actions.
Tell me, was that "internal review" changing the "you wont need all relics" aimed at the player base or the bottom line. I personally think that reversing course on that did more harm than good.
Was adding "tickets" to the GL events aimed at the player base or the bottom line.
Is continuing down the same ol marquee $250-300 per character or wait 3 months to be farmable, and another 2 months to finally be able to use them, aimed at the player base?
Was creating a thread on this forum asking what tools guild officers want to have and then totally ignoring that thread for 4 months only to say "we'll put a meeting on the books" aimed at the players?
The list goes on and on. Thats why I say they do not care, its ALL about the money and nothing else.

Granted, its a business, I totally understand that they want to make money, and according to the data, they have made a lot, but part of running a business is creating good will towards the customer and CG is severely lacking in that department.

so someone else gave a little more detail and it seems they use a system that offers a chance at more shards using excess shards.

The dev team decided a while ago to freeze the stores and use excess shards for gear. its a valid system that offers a progression as you continue to play each game mode (shards, then shards and some gear, then all gear). changing the situation with the stores changes the whole dynamic that has been established.

yes I understand, dont let facts get in the way of an opinion then. thats also fine.

I would assume that since they are running a business that every decision has both elements involved. here is what i suspect though, they wanted to keep perspective on matchmaking and you can't do that with only a single toon, so the requirement give them a built in system that will naturally start to create a gap between players that have a GL and those that dont. but this was just a thought I had, no real evidence or calculations involved.

no matter what you think, saying they dont care, is just 100% wrong. but as always, dont let facts get in the way of trying to demean someone whom you have never met.

i'm sorry did i miss the timeline they laid out in the thread of when it would be reviewed? did anything else happen during that time that may have caused something like that to get off track or lost in the shuffle.....

you can't please everyone, even when they give stuff away.

We’ll just have to agree to disagree on this. You find it acceptable for a company to ask what its customers want, then ignore them for 4 months, get called out on it, then start to “review”...I don’t.

Create new gear challenge tiers (another something that MSF has done recently) to make up for the all that sweet gear that the shard shop offers( looking at you mk4 stun guns)....put new toons in the stores...problem solved.
