I uninstalled the game after 5 years of good fun and the reason wasn't only this new lightspeed bundle but the general direction this game is going. I refuse to participate in this sick money squeeze social experiment and I pity the players who decided to go for it because there will be more and more bombastic packages and they won't stop paying. I'm not at all against reasonable microtransactions, but this is madness.

i mean

it sounds like you are against reasonable microtransactions

CG offers "gamble" 5-330 packs to get shards of one toon for $10 in crystals..... "I'll play for 5 years"

CG offers packs that guarantee to 7 star and relic multiple characters...... "I'm out"

Yep, madness.

What is it you wet wipes don't understand? Reasonable = something that doesn't put f2p into miserable position.

If you paid nothing and get to play the game for free and are still miserable then I don't know what to tell you.

Let me put it this way, maybe you will eventually understand. When I joined SWGOH, for $10 you could buy only fistful of crystals that meant nothing and f2p were still competitive. Now a days $10 get you whole bunch of fully reliced characters that f2p got to farm for months, let alone the hyperdrive bundle. Do you see the massive shift in balance?

No, what I see is that they have released packs that even people on a budget can afford and that will help them be more competitive in the game, especially in some of the newer game modes like conquest and galactic challenges.

If you don't want to spend the $10 then that is your choice. If you can't afford to spend $10 then that is unfortunate, but I fail to see why that should everyone else back from a great opportunity to get some great in game stuff for a great price.

What I see in your arguments is either ignorance or naivity, but if you enjoy this p2w dystopia then who am I to judge you?

It's funny to me that your forum name would indicate that you have disposable income for other "recreational pursuits" that, I may add, aren't free.

This game has always had a P2W component, that is how it makes money and survives. Now they have offered something comparatively cheap that most can afford (if they aren't spending there disposable income on other things) and folks like you are upset about it? Why, because you can no longer freeload and stay competitive?

If you have been playing a while and have enjoyed so much free content, what is $10 to help support the game?

My forum name could only indicate that I like having fun from goods that ARE free to use, as contrary to yours that could indicate that you're hellbent to defend EA to the last $ they earn.
As I stated before, this kind of cheap yet powerful bundles will widen the gap between f2p and p2w which isn't in any possible way good for SWGOH or any other game in this matter. Would you approve if there was an option for anybody to buy 100% game progress for $10? Would you back this bundle with the same "oh let just have the people have fun man" rhetoric? I think not, because any sane mind would argue that 100% game progress for $10 is stupid, but here we come, you just need to be able to draw the line.

My guy. This is less than 10% progress and it helps close the gap between the low end player and the high end player. Every pack widens the gap between f2p and p2w. But this one does so in a way that benefits the lighter spenders and the earlier game players by excluding a lot of the later game players. This is objectively good for the game.
