Quitting Swgoh due to game changes and CG Arrogance

The Release of the Punishing 1 is the worst game update I've ever seen.  4 Star Ship Derails all the work I've done , I'm no longer able to get fleet position #1 , due to poor game balancing.

and I'm unable to recruit for my guild any longer because the tempo of Guild events was increased, their is no longer even a 24 hour wait period between TB and TW

CG is not a company that We should do business with. 

Think about how much money we pay them. In return they Ignore player feedback, because they dont speak English. and attempt to steal every dollar they can from you by destroying established Fleet Arena Ecosystem. 

They insult STAR WARS and the Community as a Whole,  due to how cheaply they treat their App with lack of playtesting, jacking prices to abuse levels and not updating TW after almost 10 years

    They aren't going to respond because their priority now is finding new suckers, I mean new players to join the game.  Loyalty is less of a concern than quality at this point.

    CG is just mutating into sub-EA and that means only quantity is important.  "Shut up and spend money!" is the mantra.

    There don't seem to be actual gamers at CG anymore, only accountants who's priority is revenue.  And of course, nothing is talked about by CG unless it's a content release or update.  Sure, they tell us about bug fixes, but that's only because what they released breaks something and if people spend less money, they prioritize the fix and then tell us about it so we'll go back to spending again.

    At this point I wouldn't trust CG to program my microwave clock.  They would end up causing a county-wide power outage.

    Whats really insane is that they just released like 14 new characters that they expect you to fully relic for Ahsoka and other events.

    Conquest has gotten extremely annoying considering all the stupid hurdles and requirements of new characters to spend money on.

    Light side Territory Battle is still broken and massively overpowered you can pretty much only beat them with GLs and even then can still lose.

    They literally cut your scavenging rewards in half just because f**k you give me money.

    This game has just become a constant slot machine and I'm honestly getting tired of it as well. I can't even keep up with all this bs. I'm still trying to get Queen Amidala and they've already released like 12 characters since she even came out.

      They are not gonna respond because thats CG's way.  Wasnt always like this, but the last 4 ish years, its ignore the playerbase at all costs.  Remember Q&A's?  I do.  Remember when CM's did interviews?  Speed GAC.....I don't envoy Meats job as he is handcuffed.  Wheres Crumb?  Did he quit or get fired?

    Bad timing on CG's part.  A marquee comes out today with my trust broken.  Why would I spend any money with company that I can't trust?

      Exactly. I always buy the $30 bundle for new marquees....but I won't anymore and didn't for sabine. Anything to get their attention. Won't spend from lots of people will show them.

      Good thing we got freedom of speech back in this forum. The other one, you couldn't say one thing bad about them otherwise the admins, who they paid, removed the post. Pathetic.

      I never spend money on principle, for the last five years.  I considered the $10 Tarkin/EP bundle to get some relics on the old toon JML requirements, but couldn't stomach handing over any money to them the way things have been going.

  • Make sure you write a bad review on the stores!
    It’s the only way they’ll pay attention!

  • Game has literally become pay to win in the worst way.  If you buy that ship, you immediately knock out players who spend months farming a ship.  You spend on datacrons, knock out players who spent months farming GLs.

    Posts like this always remind me of this scene in The Cable Guy and are just seeking special attention from the game developers without any intention of quitting.

    The racism of your post is unnecessary, and ironic given you incorrectly use "their" when it should be "there". If you're going to ask someone to learn a language for your benefit make sure you know the language first. You won't be missed.

      Racism? Dude. You don't even know what that term is if you are going to accuse someone of it in that context.  You owe them an apology.  Also, the onus is on the developers to speak the language of their players. NOT the other way around.

        Actually, the onus on the developers is to know python, or JavaScript, or a language such as those.  You seem to be confusing marketing, or service, departments with engineering.  Devs are not in public facing role.  They code what they're asked to code, for the most part.  Don't understand why people keeping blaming devs for not responding to forum posts.  Unless it's a bug report, why would they bother?!  If you have a problem with a website, do you contact the customer service people, or do you call headquarters and demand to speak to someone who worked on the code?  That said, communication is generally abysmal, the app is screwed up badly.

      It's hard to tell what OP means, but I read the English comment to mean that the devs only respond to feedback written in English and not other languages.

  • You wanted attention and don't understand power creep. Cool.

     

    Any original points or are we just beating the bloody pulp on the sidewalk that used to be a horse?

    Factually inaccurate too. They tried special modifiers for TW not too long ago.

    Changing the meta isn't "stealing" money from you. Shard Mafias are a violation of the ToS. They've ignored and allowed it because most of them are fair. If they wanted to, they could ban all involved accounts.

    If you feel this way, leave.

    Don't attention farm like this is reddit.
