@CG_SBCrumb When will you address the GAC skill squish? It's more severe than you had announced it would be and it has been unaddressed for far too long.

Here is a refresher for what CG said the skill squish would do: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/252923/grand-arena-seasonal-skill-squish

if you win half your matches you will end up with a worse rating and fewer crystals in the long run. Announcement back in the day said the opposite. Kyber is shrinking and shrinking GAC after GAC.

Agreed, they need to address this and stop pretending like this is going to go away.

Seems though they are not addressing it. Only silence.

Why make it go away if you can simply ignore it?

It's actually "Why pay out more crystal when we can get people to buy them".

They went with the office space problem fix with Milton.

Why ask rhetorical questions? Oh wait.

The skill squish wouldn't be a problem if CG updated the division/league tresholds. But since the divisions and leagues keep shrinking, the old values for tresholds are super outdated now. Back then Kyber 1 used to be like 10-15k people. Now it's about 2.5k. So by having a 50/50 record you automatically drop over time and there is nothing you can do about it. They really need to update the tresholds, otherwise the skill squish is just not justifyable anymore because it just keeps giving everyone (with very few exceptions) less and less rewards as time goes by.

That's why I started this thread. I would like to get a reply from CG on the situation. Hope more folks see this thread and eventually they can't ignore it anymore.

It would be nice if they could shed some light on this

Nah. Ignoring it is a lot easier. Like A LOT.

They ignored HSR sim after they themselves brought it up for... about a year? CG hasn't even acknowledged any issue on their end with what the squish is doing. Not saying you guys are wrong. How would I know? But I'm not optimistic.

They’ve been addressing a lot of things lately that they’ve appeared to be ignoring, and it’s a real issue so I wouldn’t be surprised if something is in the works.

Yea that's why I'm hoping to get a reply from Crumb or Meat.
