Look at from there perspective. How are they ignorant?? I think they are brilliant making millions off a game like this one cash grab after another. People get excited and jump on the bandwagon and spend a ton of money for a character. Whether that character is good or not you will not know until after there release. Thays on you if you decide to spend money and resources on characters that aren’t proven yet.
You have all solid points. My mention of CG being ignorant is from a players perspective, not their perspective. They have been awe-inspiring thus far: getting people’s money while simultaneously ticking them off. Rather brilliant in that regard.
My gripe is not with GG’s lackluster performance. My gripe is with Revan. If you take Revan out: GG has an absolutely amazing mechanic that is fun to play with! I like the idea of an ‘attack only’ squad that sucks on defense. Problem is: he kinda sucks on offense, too. He has a unique that cannot kill his allies...but it kills 2 of his allies. That is perplexing...but still kind of fun. The fact is he cannot do anything better than any team we already have. He’s a new mechanic that has no place. If his rework had come out when Revan first came out, and Revan first came out at the time GG got his rework: GG would have had a place, and been more viable and playable. Knowing what we know now: it makes more sense to g12 and zeta Phoenix over GG. Same 5 zetas, same 5 g12s, more usability.
