I've looked at the rancor (the word, not the monster) on the forums this past week, the visceral bitterness, and I think I know why CG have ended up with this barrage of hate. The lines between wha...
CG are course correcting, and yes it's hard to take things away after they've been given, but the whale > dolphin > FTP ecosystem has been unbalanced for some time, and that delicate balance MUST be restored if the game is to survive.
Whales get slapped in the face all the time by CG constantly eroding their advantage, particularly during this last year, but they don't have the numbers to generate the kind of outrage and petitions that we've seen this past week. They just quietly quit and walk away.
If paying for an advantage isn't worth it, then the game is truly done - and I for one am glad CG have remembered this important fact.
That might be a slightly more convincing argument if it weren't for the fact that SWGOH is consistently one of the top-4 grossing role-playing games around so they aren't exactly going poor under the current game setup, but they may well find they now lose a lot of the smaller spenders who feel it's not possible to compete with small investments in the game and so won't invest at all:
