[Suggestion] - LIFE TIME conquest pass.

Well I support the idea (because it would save me money), but it's never going to happen.

If you look at everything software, it's impossible to "own" something today. Everything is subscription services.
The reason is easy: It's creates a continuous stream of income, which is preferable for the company, and it generates higher income per customer on average.

The same goes for the conquest pass even though it's not a subscription. Right now the people who buy it pays $120 every year, so why would CG sell a life time pass for $100? ... or even $200?

My claim would be that the players purchasing the conquest pass are either typical spenders or players invested in the game beyond a year or two. So CG would get zero benefit from offering a life time pass.

I quite understand.

But as one progresses through the game, one doesnt need much (for instance) omega metarial anymore...
Because he has upgraded all of his characters who needed it.
If he ever needs some, the daily give away (at some point) will be suffisant.
One gets 1 omega per day from daily give away, also a chance to get 1 more from the galactic war, also 3 chances weekly from the challenges...

I imagine that top players hardly need to buy conquest pass just to get omega meterials anymore.

So...at one point, the premium rewards track will be obsolete too (no more stream of money for CG from that particular player, from that conquest pass).

Seeing in that light (that the stream of money is not sustainable), why dont CG just create LIFE TIME conquest pass...which also makes the stream of money obsolete BUT it rewards the players....players feel more value out of it...

It is something like "loyality rewards" in some department stores. The stores cut some of it's revenue to rewards the buyers....

You better believe, that CG will keep the premium reward track worth it. The reason I buy the conquest pass is the 20 shards for the new shiny conquest toon, which gives me the option of spending conquest currency on other stuff, the omicrons and the datacron materials.

So far, history shows that the conquest toon most often is worth chasing (with the exception of fat boba). And that's not likely to change.

The only way I see a life time conquest pass happening is if they introduce another game mode which then takes over the supply of new, good to top end toons.

Also:

It's pretty obvious you haven't been around for long. This game is not about rewarding the players. It's about keeping players hooked and interested for precisely as long as they are likely to spend money on the game.

Thinking that "the stream of money" will ever turn irrelevant is pretty naive. If that ever happens it will happen at the same time the game servers shut down.

How good is the stuff in the premium rewards track?

In my own opinion, they are very good, that is why i am sugeestion this.

Close at the end of the track, it starts to give some omega ability materials, zeta, some G11 materials (like the ones from the challenges) and some omega ability materials for ships (i really need these ones).

Since now you can play the conquest, you can judge it for yourself.

Just took a look at Conquest Rewards for the current Conquest. I've only seen 2 Zetas plus titles and a portrait, though it's probably because I'm practicing as much as I can on Easy right now (thank god it ends in 4 days).

Do Premium tracks award Conquest Shards? (I have not seen a single Conquest Shard in the Easy reward track.)

Yes.

Hard awards the newest and the previous newest toons.

Normal appears to award older ones, on my alt I see Ben Solo there.

And so it seems like I will not be getting any Conquest shards in the next 4 days because I was practicing on Easy mode. Sad.

How long do Conquests usually last? I'm not sure whether my rosters (I have only like 6 rosters that are prepped for Conquest) could handle the constant depletion.

But back on track, I suppose a lifelong Conquest Pass could be worth it, depending on how many Conquest Chatacter Shards are given.

Conquest runs every other 2 weeks. Starts on Monday, ends 14 days later, then 14 days off until the next conquest.

A lifetime pass might be worth it for the players but as explained previously there's not much reason for CG to do it.
