So be logical, be straightforward and throw in some humor to make em laugh.
Mod rollout was disastrous ( i wish i still had all my +96% protection mods now!)
But they did a bang-up job reeling things back in.
The game will not break, and the issues will be addressed, not today or tomorrow but eventually
Eventually may not be soon enough. It took over a year to fix Boba Fett. Almost half the playerbase quit before they fixed mods, but my biggest concern is how out of touch the developers seem. An interview with John Salera last month showed him claiming there was no gear problem!

Well... maybe John Salera doesn't have gear problem.. LOL

Not always, just look at poor Kylo Ren
When kylo first came out he was actually pretty good.

The fact that 2 supporting characters from Rogue One™, a "standalone film" are the best duo in the game and main characters from the saga films aren't even close to them bothers me for some reason. Sure Baze was a walking cheat code but he was going up against guys stationed at an Imperial Sandals™ Resort. He's part of the best duo but Luke Skywalker is practically garbage? Vader and Palpatine ruled the galaxy for 18 years and Vader was the Chosen One and that only gets them to "comparable" against Baze and Chirrut? It doesn't make sense.

The Gear Grind will kill this game before the power creep.
Both will. I've quit spending as a result. Why keep chasing the imaginary ring?
Tank raid wants you to have 20+ gear 9 or 10 characters, but the challenges award junk gear in droves, and the missions have a poor drop rate for pieces of the epic items for which you need 50 to assemble one unit. Then units need mutiples of these (looking at you needles and cuffs).
But then you go through the effort to find they've released the new (borderline?) overpowered hotness. Unless youre spending you'll barely get a toon servicable (especially for arena) before its out of Meta. Plus throwing these new OP characters in one off tournaments (which some have hacked) meaning a well developed roster will still wind up not collecting the character.
What I would like to see is the old tier 10 gear drop at 100% rate. Make gear 11 the grind now since all characters can get there. And tournaments pay out based on total points earned, not placement. IE get the 7 star toon if you earn 7000 points (or whatever). It will never happen though.
They have to find a balance not just between characters but for players to make meaningful progression at a decent rate, but not so fast that the whales suddenly have nothing to do.

It took a cpl days for them to nerf mods, I doubt half the base left in that time.
Maybe not half, but a LOT! My guild remained 100% unchanged since their inception, yet when mods were introduced, 7 people quit playing, 5 of whom were big whales. If you look at their revenue, https://thinkgaming.com/app-sales-data/68737/star-warstm-galaxy-of-heroes/from/2016-06-01/until/2016-07-31/ , you can see it plummets after the introduction of mods. Team Instinct had to issue a statement saying they would no longer spend money until mods were reduced.
I give EA credit for changing mods, but they were, and still are, motivated by money. I've enjoyed many of their updates, but I've still noticed a trend where nothing changes unless they lose revenue.
