For the people complaining about the time they now need to spend in GAC, are you aware that you won't be spending that time in squad arena waiting for the timer to tick down during the hour leading up to your payout time?

I can knock out a full clear much quicker than that, and at any time of day that I choose.

We don't. Who the hell spends their time waiting for the cooldown to finish? I do that taking a break from work every few minutes. I spend 3-4 mins on average on 5 battles a day. That's 15-20 minutes on a single game mode a day, which is reasonable for a mobile game.

GAC on the other hands, it takes you at the minimum that same time just to scout your opponent. Then you have to plan on how to lay your defenses and prepare an offensive strategy considering your opponent roster. Then you have to set 15 or more defensive teams individually. Then you have to make 15 or more battles that last 3 to 5 minutes on average each.

See where I am going?

This is a mobile game, not full-time job. We don't want to spend all that much time in just single game mode, even more now that we are also forced to engage in TW and con-quest to keep up. The game is getting more and more time consuming, which is NOT healthy for a mobile game.

My squad arena is much more active than yours. I apparently scout GAC opponents faster. For me, this change will mean less time on game. And the time they're removing is mindless crap that I can't do on my schedule.

So…newer players that whaled on a gl to get crystals from arena and are now going to get bodied in gac and have almost zero crystal income…how do they get a refund? Asking for a friend.

I am 4M GP and taking #1 in Squad Arena every day. I'd really love it if someone could explain to me why my crystal income is going to be 177 lower every day, best case scenario. That's 64.6K crystals a year, minimum, possibly more than twice that.

@CG_LucifersDaddyMINI you have to actually work now, or business as usual except cheaters just get all the crystals they want?

CG = players cooperating in revolving payouts in arena chats are costing us revenue and bonuses… this must not be allowed

Remove 3v3 as having to do anypart of Grand Arena and then you'll have me. Anything else, and this is a horrid waste of time. Most of my Squad Arena shard is quitting after reading this.

And honestly, you aren't telling us what is moving you up and down here? Explain what moves you up and down divisions. You say it happens between rounds based on performance, but what is the metric on that?

I'll say it one more time, for the developers that are not listening. Get rid of 3v3. Literally no one will complain. No one. And you will make many people actually *happy*.

Ga takes a lot more time than squad arena. Im at a point where simply collecting characters is more fun than playing most areas of the game. I have some friends i really enjoy talking about the game with, but this might just be it for me. I dont play my ga, and this probably wont make me. It will just punish me heavily for ignoring it now. Ill wait and see, but my guess is this is the end for me. I just unlocked jml and i might be quitting before i get him to g13. Ive wasted the last almost year farming characters i dont even want or care about, just to likely quit before i can use them.

They don’t do anything about cheaters, my son has a 1 year old account and everyone in his shard has complained about an obvious cheater and he’s still there, a year later. You’re just gonna get more of that.

Well, new warning system, but it’s a legitimate question. Cheaters have been unpunished since the beginning of the game. Has CG put any thought in how to deal with this? Because if not the Grogu’s and Angelica’s will just take as many crystals as they want.

So with no meta what is there to chase? Now I can collect at mu own pace and just play the game for free. How does this help CG?
