I hated Galactic Challenges, it was my least favourite game mod. Mainly because of the fact that there was no feat counter. GC should never have been released like that. Playing for 15 minutes not knowing if you're even doing the right thing was ridiculous. So, form this perspective I'm happy it's gone.
That said, things did get a lot better towards the end. Also, I usually got straight into it when a new one was released. And, as several people have said, it was the closest we had to a Sandbox mode.
Do I miss it? No. Do I understand why others miss it? Yes.
I understand you. Many times I wouldn't complete the feats, but I would start playing with different character setups to see what relic level they could reach. That was the most fun for me. I wasn't competing with anyone... It was simply about enjoying it.
And since I don't think they're going to release a sandbox (mode), maybe we should ask for a mode they already created to come back. I think they would only have to copy and paste the code again. They wouldn't have to invest a single dollar, and the people who enjoyed it could continue to do so.
