Nice that EA is taking away the one place where f2p users can get crystals. Job well done I guess for them then.
How do you come up with this conclusion? Last I checked the sky wasn’t falling.
He comes to that conclusion for 2 reasons:
1) Ships favors offense, so whales don't get as much bang for their buck. A much weaker f2p fleet can still hang with a stronger p2p fleet.
2) Ever since mods and the speed meta, p2p who can farm mods geta a huge advantage in squad arena. Since there is no corresponding thing for ships, it is a much more even playing field. Since the mod bonuses don't matter, all the ships need is maxed mods, pretty easy for any f2p. Whales can get their ships to full stars quickly, but f2p won't get too far behind if they stay focused.
Let the whales whale in squad arena, but give f2p a chance for crystals, too. F2p represents the player base and the biggest recruiting tool. The game needs both whales and f2p to thrive. The whales pay the bills and the f2p's bring in new players.
This is pure conjecture though. He was already lamenting the fact that FTP is now not going to finish top of arena. I fully expect to still finish at top of fleet arena as FTP. I’ll wait until I see the ships in action before declaring the sky is falling.
Yes, what would really kill f2p would be mods for ships or the introduction of op ships and pilots that aren't farmable.
