The Era mode is the death of swgoh

I’m wondering which lead game designer came up with this idea, and who the hell approved it?! If there is a competent company leader at CG, they should step in and fix a lot of things here.

After the latest update, CG’s true intentions couldn’t be clearer. It’s all about money—above gameplay improvements, above player experience, above any sense of community care. They’ve made it painfully obvious that their only goal is to squeeze every last cent out of this game. They have the undeserved luck of holding the rights to a franchise like Star Wars, which has a massive, loyal fanbase worldwide—and they exploit that shamelessly. If this **bleep** game weren’t tied to Star Wars, it would’ve died out long ago.

Worst update in a game i've played. 

unfortunately, the game is dead.   This is a whole new level of rubbish.   The Era challenge is even worse than the coliseum, which are even worse than relic delta garbage city.    I can't explain how CG could think putting this out was a good idea. 

"Pay = no win/no fun"

For the first time since I started playing nearly a decade ago, that is absolutely true. I paid to level Luke and it's made barely a spit of difference. Ahnald on youtube spent $400 getting his Luke to level 70 and even that isn't enough to clear all 6 tiers of the era challenge - he is stuck at tier 5.

CG are going to be haemorrhaging players after this, I've never seen anything quite so egregious in over 40 years of gaming. This truly is the dirtiest move I've seen a studio pull.
