Missed the mark

Anyone else feel like CG really missed the mark with these packs? I understand we can't always get the same value as the ls packs, but.... $99.99 for fleet mats? 5K Crystal's for a randome ls/ds toon. 5k crystals for 150 ship shards?

  • It is hilarious they put a purchase limit on these. Nobody is buying one 5000 crystal pack yet alone more than 2.
  • If we had a new thread every time CG released a pack that had terrible value, the forums would be overrun with gripes about packs. Most of CGs packs have terrible, awful, even reprehensible value. I guess if you're new to the game, I can understand the reaction. It took months for the sticker shock to wear off when I first started playing. Insanely overpriced packs go hand in hand with CG and always have. It has the knock-on effect of making other, less terrible packs seem like a good value by comparison - it's just a marketing strategy with the added benefit (for CG) that there will be a small subset of players that will actually pay these prices that most of us view as wildly out of line.

    Just ignore them if you're not buying them. Yes the prices are dumb - surreal even. Just another day in SWGoH.
  • CG would still put them out if no one bought them - because by comparison it makes lots of other packs look good. It's a marketing ploy. Let's not demonize the big spenders because we don't like the prices they're willing to pay. Just ignore the absurdly priced packs. For 99% of us they're not worth it so we save our money. For the other 1% they end up paying a big chunk of CG salaries. Everyone wins - even the F2P folks.
