Raid nerf will result in pirate boycott and players quitting.

I know…. Boycotts don't really work.  I agree with you.  In this case however it won’t be an organized and structured boycott, but one of apathy and a natural response to CG’s incompetence. 
As the raid officer in our guild I have been diligently, for months, preparing 49 other players in our guild for this new raid. Now that it’s launched, I’ve spent countless hours testing for team compositions, creating infographics and giving advice to my guild.  
I have been telling other people how to spend their money and resources based on how the raid currently works.  Even the threat of a nerf is making everyone in the position of an advisory role look like idiots or worse. 
The reaction to this nerf threat is very loud throughout our discord server. Instead of excitement for the new raid, it’s become very hostile. All the joy and enthusiasm for the raid has instantly and irrevocably evaporated. No one wants to spend any resources with the uncertainty of a possible nerf.  Many have expressed that they might just quit if this happens. Most are now going to absolutely avoid spending on pirates. Key to all of this, we feel betrayed.  This isn’t as Anhald likes to sing “Fix your game!!”   This is much deeper than that.  CG needs to fix how they treat their players and fix their business practices.

  • i really knew that this was coming, since ahsoka GL i haven spent a single peso in this crap, now looking everything as a non spender im not so enraged, but i just can imagine how every little kraken whale dolphin etc is feeling, BS bussines tactics

  • Instead of upping the penalty for a short team - which would require us to use all of our DS clones in the same attempt and open up an opportunity for a pirate team - I wonder if they would consider giving us 6 attempts instead. Most of us would work in 6 teams and feel the need to get our pirates up. 
    6 attempts in this raid would still be faster than 5 in Naboo :)

    I whaled on the Dark troopers, and the Mace team. Now they are being made near worthless now with this Nerf. I will be also be boycotting the pirates. I learned my lesson that CG can't be trusted to make our investments worth it.

    Community boycotts rarely work, but I've done a personal boycott before, after a clear bug cost me a GAC win.  I asked for the 700-crystal difference as compensation from their support, and was denied.  So I boycotted buying the conquest pass for 9 months.  Saved $90, all because CG wouldn't compensate me $5 worth of crystals for their own mistake.  Did CG notice?  I doubt it.  But it was a win to me.

    I plan on doing the same here if they nerf the DS Clones split and I don't get compensated for those materials.  I took those toons up to R9 purely because I wanted to help my guild by delivering a high initial raid score.  The only way I could justify spending those materials on the raid is if it landed me 7.2M for the sake of the guild.  If they take that away, I fulled intend on boycotting both the conquest pass AND the episode pass until such time as they reverse the change, compensate my materials, or a new raid comes out.  That's $30/month x ~12 months = $360 that CG won't be taking from me if it comes to pass.

  • Yeah I agree. I R9'ed all clones and Mace and his marquees mainly for the raid. It was definitely a guild priority.  That is alot of R9 mats that we'd rather have put elsewhere. There is definitely a sense of burn out after this announcement. No one wants to spend at all right now due to uncertainty and if this is nerfed then I'm pretty sure all of us are just going to slow farm the pirates and not spend a dime.  Personally a nerf is going to finally make me go completely F2P. Its not even a boycott its just burn out from diminishing returns on your investment.

    True to my word, I'll continue to buy the episode and conquest passes since you didn't nerf the DS Clones @CG.
