I’m just as frustrated with cg and conquest as you. With that said, I don’t think most players will feel you should be doing better than you are. Recommended gp, imo, just means you should be able to achieve at least the first crate as the rewards are better than the best crate on normal which you did.

The expectation that you should be able to get max crate without any of the 6 gls is also a little off to me. It simply would be way too easy of a mode for too large of the player base given the rewards if this was true.

Finally, while crystals are indeed the premium currency, you can get over 1k a day. It’s hard to get to the point of 1st in both arenas as ftp but not impossible. So, while I completely accept your income level of crystals make them too valuable to use on conquest, I don’t accept that the combination of your choices over the past three years means you should be able to get max crate.

My bad! I didn't mean to complain that I'm not getting max crate, I started with my FtP details for context. I do still think that the recommended amount of power should be enough to get at least half-way to max crate? And if that isn't 5 mil then don't say that it is.

I just meant that no FtP account, anyone, ever, can get max crate in Conquest 7+. Even the heftiest PtP account has to spend crystals just to have enough energy to participate in the full gamut, and that seems like a really poor way to reward player loyalty and engagement. Conquest has become a subscription based thing, and a 20$ bi-weekly subscription to this amount of content sounds like a hyperbolic joke.

I know that even a FtP account can generate crystal income as a reward for consistently engaging with the game, so technically they can just spend that. I'm saying we shouldn't have to in an effort to overcome physically impossible time constraints. Crystals aren't required to fully participate in Territory Wars, Territory Battles, Galactic War, Grand Arena, legendary events, Assault Battles, Galactic Challenges, Raids, or even the PvP arenas. Crystals aren't even required to get the max rewards from any of those things; all you need is a good enough roster, a guild to call home, and intelligent play.

Conquest requires spending crystals, no matter how good your roster is, or how much you've already spent on the game. It goes against how the rest of the entire game is modeled, and it especially punishes FtP now with a non-crystal accessible battle pass.

My apologies then. I agree with two competing principles with how cg has setup conquest. It is reasonable for cg to expect a crystal investment on top of all of the shard currency in order to unlock the conquest hero in 3 months. It’s also reasonable for players to expect to get max rewards without using crystals. The obvious change is to return conquest to the difficultly of 1-6 but require the purchase of 75 shards from the Jawa for crystals to unlock in three months.
