You know, if you are going to make the game just as hard to beat as it would be in Conquest, maybe give us power ups like in Conquest cause my R7 squads can’t even beat these rounds and I have them packed with speed and turn meter and all sorts of top mods.

Took me a few years to get wampa prestigious quest unlocked....
Welcome to the game
This is aweful, you can’t even refresh the galactic bounties events so this actually makes CAT easier to get than wampa! Op is also assuming a regular cadence for proving grounds, if you only get it same cadance as GB 3-4 times a year, you’ll see cat in 2027 ;)
I can deal with the postponed gear changes, I can deal with inquisitor garbage, I can deal with the shitty bugged conquest, but this!
4m GP is the requirement for hard conquest: the requirement for getting them in the 1st 3 months. Now, you stop those who were 1m GP at that time and still maxed normal conquest -- the people who are still under 4m GP that happen to also be going for Exec and those desperate for more RC shards, and the people who happen to have got JMK under 4m GP and now have no way of getting CAT. You've basically made this event pointless for most people.

This has massively been miss sold. And CAT was available to farm in normal at a much lower rate. I thought this was a ‘catch’ up for all. I am so disappointed. Why not at least do a reduced rate in line with normal conquest? I hope CAT stays in weekly shipments else I don’t think I want to play anymore. Just so disappointed.
She dropped in game 5/22/21 so a whole 3 days over a year?
But in all seriousness, I have her and this GP limit to participate is a bunch of garbage. I feel bad for anyone trying to catch up on her or RC.
I'm really not the best person to ask about this sort of thing, but ...
... I don't think a minimum GP requirement for PG is outrageous. I can see why a lot of folks wouldn't like it, but they're already gating shards behind GP by making Hard mode Gold & Red crates the only places where you can get enough shards to unlock (in 3 or 6 months, respectively).
I do think it's weird and probably bad for the gate to be 4M instead of, for instance,
4M GP ...OR... getting max crate on GB:Conquest:Normal one time.
If you've beaten Conquest:Normal than you've proven you're someone ready to get shards by CG's own rules (since you get shards with Conquest:Normal/red crate).
I like that rule a lot better, but it would still lock a lot of people out and I'm sure that a lot of folks would still be unhappy with it.
Other than that? Well, they're currently selling the shards for 120 crystals each, so bothering to qualify for the event doesn't help a ton when the refreshes are basically selling the shards for 110 crystals each. That's not even a 10% discount, folks. Obviously you can get those first 20 shards/month free, so if you spend on one refresh/month you're effectively spending 55 crystals per shard (and that IS a large discount over not having proving grounds at all), but it looks like for folks who thought her shards were worth purchasing at 120 crystals before, they'll probably still be worth it since the alternative is nearly the same price. And for people who didn't think it was worth it before, well, 0 crystals/shard is even better and you can have that now that PG is here. If you were content with making no progress before, then making 20 shards/month is...better than that?
All told, PG doesn't seem like anything to write home about. There's now a slow, free way to get CAT much like there is a slow, free way to get Hermit Yoda. But neither of those options is particularly great, and the crystal-spending option isn't noticeably better than what we have now, so... a big whatevs?
I think you are dreaming if you think community backlash gets CG to change anything. CG has repeatedly shown no interest in aligning with the community opinions.
So... Proving Ground is basically useless for those who can even see it and unavailable for those needing it... So, it's an event aimed at nobody at all... Not a great plan...

Lol. getting the prestigious quest for killing him 50 times with boba fett present takes 4 years
You need 25 bounty 1 events that happen something like ~6 times a year. Aka you need 4 years and 2 months to do it if you started last round this month.

4M GP gate on a 1 YEAR exclusive character? This is gating NEW players, NOT F2P (I'm F2P and here I am with all conquest units) it's so freking dumb, why stop your playerbase this way, 1 year of exclusivity was not good enough? Take away that gate! I'm not getting affected by any of this new "event", but imagining me as a new player, must be REALLY frustrating to be in this situation
Also, only 2 refreshes and 2,200 crystal PER REFRESH? Are you OUT of your mind? I can (barely) understand the cost, but only 2 refreshes? IIRC, each attempt give 20 shards, so you're telling me if a new player or someone with 0 shards right now wants to get these characters, they need to spend a MINIMUM of 17 months to unlock it and a MAXIMUM of 6 months? This is a joke...
Reverse that... max 17 months and min 6 months.
And yes they are telling you as a new player you shouldnt go for gl kenobi until you are 4mil gp and you have 17 months to get it done befoee you will have cat to make him good. Or you have deep pockets and feel like spending $50 a month on shards or nearly $300 to get her quicker.
Ill also bet they drop cat offers in the store for cash too... but essentially f2p who are new and didnt horde will require time.
