Yup madness to quit something, cause a cheap deal was offered.

i mean

it sounds like you are against reasonable microtransactions

Ok guys let CG release all the GLS in packs. So everyone has everything within 1 or 2 months. What's the point then? I still refuse to pay for these packs! I prefer to farm the toons and gear them slowly.It gives me more satisfaction.
I like to calculate my moves and to manage my resources correctly.

Then you can keep doing that. But giving cheap access to 3-4 year old content isn't a bad thing. I've discussed this with a handful of players that have bigger accounts and they have said that they are excited for it because it will bring new blood into the higher GP guilds and let other players experience more of the game. I don't see why anyone would throw a fit when CG makes old content more accessible.

/e Especially when the new content pushes power boundaries (new marquee lifters, conquest units, GLs, capital ships, etc) or offers new reward paths (SR2, EE3, etc). Players are expected to work on the newer stuff and older stuff should become available in some way, shape, or form.

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 we are talking about "reasonable microtransactions" the f2p people shouldn't be in the equation

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?

Without spenders the game wouldn’t exist for ftp. I say this as a non-spender myself. Yes, opportunities like this make it harder for me, but, bottom-line, without them there’d be no game. Bed made, lying in it.

It seems it will bring more balance to the game. I was already facing end game accounts with over 7 million gp in carbonite and I can't drop lower than carbonite to find fair matches. Having a system in place to eliminate years of grinding to be able to compete in carbonite of gac is much needed and welcome.
