If you want to bloat your roster with garbage I guess.
I disagree
With how gac is now and the lack of focus on individual arena... you dont bloat your roster much at all given the need in kyber 1 and 2 league.
9 mil user working on relicing prepaired squad, murder bears and jawas now.
And yes those will make that back row of the gac easier for me to deal with... and in 3v3 it will give way more options

I hope this encourages people to not gloss over future conquest toons just because the kit doesn't look good at all and not worth trying hard and expecting to max out the unit in 6 months
I know that was the sentiment with Second Sister's ship, and with people who didn't care about TW and Boba Scion of Jango
People pass Max Crate because in many cases getting it turns into an annoying grind, so we purposedly get a lower crate to avoid getting tired and bored of the game. That was specially true during Boba and TIE's Conquest, as the grind was awful. If they want people invested on their game mode, make it less grindy, more entertaining, make us enjoy playing the game, that's why we play after all.
You can:
1. Grind hard
2. Avoid grinding and completing the rest by buying packs
3. Stay f2p and wait months or years to get the unit
Can't have no grinding, and wanting units at 7 stars without putting in the effort
Ultra the issue is that you’re missing the point of how CG just does the same carbon copy stuff over and over and over. There’s no originality to the feats in the last 13 seasons of Conquest. There’s been virtually no QoL to make the experience more fun to avoid burnout.
If people can’t/don’t want to spend on packs, or don’t have the time or patience for the same grind for the 14th time in a row, they shouldn’t be punished by being the locked out on a new character.
This proving ground event is not good. It’s too long of a grind for people already waiting a year as F2P and it does zero for anyone already with these toons. It’s juat bad
That’s not an issue, just your personal problem for not trying hard enough
This game has always been about time vs effort
if you don’t have the time or patience to farm a toon, you can spend on it
F2P always have to grind or choose to miss out on a new character for a few months
It’s been that way for years, wanting to not grind and not be punished for being locked out on new character screams entitlement to me, JKR, DR, Malak, GAS, Padme, etc all had a “either you are ready now or be locked out for at least 3 months”
it’s been the game’s model for years
The issue here is for people under 4M GP, the same people who had 0 chance of getting CAT just because they roster was not big enough (ie: newer players), now still have 0 chance to get CAT because of the same reason. The farm is already slow as it is (17 months to get her), why gate it so high? I could understand if they place a 2M GP for rosters of less than 1 year to be left out, or even have reduced shards for people from 2 to 4M GP. But to leave the completely out of the farm... Having to wait 2+ years only to start the farm, then 1 year and a half more to unlock it, specially with a character that's extremly relevant for 1 team. How do you think the people going for JMK as their 1st or 2nd GL feel? Nobody told before hand them that they where going to wait even more years to get the best use of their GL after they unlocked him. Sorry but there are no fair points to defend a 4M GP requirement.
And all of this has nothing to do with effort. People who didn't unlock CAT because they didn't put enough effort on Conquest (people with >4M GP but that didn't got max crate), can still get her this way. This only punishes new people.

Bloat isn't a thing. It was barely a thing before, but now that GP isn't used in any MM it really doesn't matter. And the more GP the better, for TB purposes.
It’s not about MM, it’s about resource management. Putting limited resources on unused characters is bloat with almost zero benefit , particularly for lower level rosters where resources are even more constrained. Aren’t you guys constantly saying this is a resource management game.
As for TB, if my guild is really close to an additional star, then the call goes out to level/gear characters and ships so that we can hit that threshold. Bloating your roster for TB when the next star is 85 million GP away is just silly.

Super unfair - this is meant to help those players who didn’t have a strong enough roster to earn CAT first go around, and you make the entry requirements basically having a strong enough roster to earn CAT the first time
Just the relentless punishing and astonishing greed of this game.. not asking for the game not to be challenging or take hard work, but for a game about a story of the good guys defeating the Empire, it’s never been lost on me that it feels like we’re playing a game run by the Empire.
This brings up an interesting point that makes 4 mil make more sense.
If you couldnt get it unlocked the first or second time around... because of lack of roster depth, aka not having 4 mil gp, then perhaps thats the bar.
A player must get to the level they could reasonably be expected to have been able to do it in 6 attempts.
Perhaps thats why.
Making it not about an easier time getring CAT, but rather a push to get you to a deep enough roster where you might not need to play the new mode to get the next character.

Except it does none of those things because she's available in shipments. I'm a f2p at 1.6M GP. From daily rewards, daily GAC payouts, average calendar, and fleet arena alone I get 3900 crystals/week which means I could buy CAT from scratch to 7-star in 11 weeks and still have 300 crystals/week + weekly GAC rewards + TB rewards left over. The ONLY thing this awful decision does is deny me 20 free shards + discounted shards once a month for a reason they haven't bothered to explain. Just dumb, dumb, dumb.

Hahaha ok shes in the weekly shipments this week.
If she reoccurs there, you have your option. Save your crystals and buy her, or grind till you get to 4mil... then farm her.
They wont ever explain the bad decision to you, so those are your options.
Id still say the only real problem here is they told you one set of requirements and then added a new one after.
This puts a possible group out there that started prep work on first requirements with resource, money or both... only to have the new requirement nullify what they just did.
Those people have a legit problem. Anyone now seeing the 4 mil and going wit i cant start the path today... they dont get to call it a problem. Its a decision cg made they dont like.

So for a new player maybe if they want to go for Executor at 2 mill GP, but I missed the first conquest (obviously being new) they have to wait till 4m gp for RC shards....

Proving Grounds was introduced to the Event Calendar with today's update. Some interesting new pieces of information can be seen in the game:
- Will be available 5 days from now
- Minimum GP to participate: 4M (this was not communicated before)
- "Victory counts are not shared between tiers" (does that mean we can get both RC and CAT shards? I thought this wasn't the case).
Thoughts?

Ah I see. Obviously no reason not to put you on ignore as you have nothing of value to contribute to any discussion. Good day.
