RE: Sith Marauder, Some Tips for Good Business Practice

Hey CG, thought I'd give you some tips for earning good faith from your customers so that you can build a long-lasting relationship that relies on something more than just your IP, because let's face it, at this point you're truly hoping people keep sending you money for the simple fact that this is a Star Wars game.

Let's give you the benefit of the doubt and say that including him early in platoons truly was an accident.

The way you handled it: Move up the event, reduce the amount of shards you give out for him to fleece for $10 or $20 more, and ask everyone for more money.

The way you should have handled it, a few options:

1) Apologize, move up the marquee event, and give everyone 30 more shards of the Marauder so that we could at least 4* it.

2) Apologize, move BACK the event, and give everyone 200 crystals and 500 GET and 2 of each gear 12 gear to make up for the extra star everyone will be losing.

Or some combination of the above.

As it stands, the message you put out there, there was no apology or any mention of Marauder showing up in platoons was a mistake at all. You simply told everyone, we're moving the event up and placing him in platoons. Please give us more money.

This is very poor business practice. Between this, your terrible arena (and a payout time forced during family dinner for not one, but TWO arenas, really??), and so much more lately, your QOL update better be good...

    On that note. Lets stay on topic.


    Don't limit my freedom of speech LMAO :D
  • The Sith Marauder can potentially be in Dark Side Territory Battle platoons phases 4-6.


    "can potentially"
    That's what they do with every new toon. Not sure if that's a joke or a spelling mistake. :D
    Potentially we need the new toons in 4 of 6 platoons per territory.
  • All I know is I’ve seen 3 people quit in the last few days. Another is on the brink. People I’ve played this game with for years and spent a lot of money are now gone. Dretzle tried to give solid advice and was edited and buried in another place. I think better communication is badly needed.

    It seems like this game is disorganized and reactive instead of proactive. That might not be the case but perception is reality. I want to see it succeed and if things stay as is then it’s not going to. This QOL update really needs to reel all this negativity back in and sooner than later in my opinion. I hope someone listens. I understand the need to make money but the way characters are released now, this is the first time I’ve not purchased the $10 pack for a new toon. Forcing us to buy those other packs to get to the next star on top of the $10 is ultimately going to cost the company money I bet.

    Probably because, like the rest of your responses, it was nonsense.
