The moment you Realize

Maybe This Game Just Isn't for Me Anymore

At some point, you start questioning the whole thing.

You spend money or a ton of crystals to unlock a character, then you have to spend even more resources to level them up… only to find out you can't actually use that character for months.

I’ve paid for almost every era character, with the exception of Cassian, and honestly, I just don’t want to do it anymore.

Whether it’s crystals, money, gear, relics, or all the other resources required to get these characters where they need to be, the cycle has started to feel ridiculous. And the final kicker is investing all of that just to have the character sit on the bench because the content isn't available yet.

It actually got me thinking, “Maybe I’m the problem.”

The same thing goes for Galactic Legends. What’s the point of rushing to unlock one of the newest characters first if you’re then going to wait forever before you can actually use them in the content they were designed for?

I used to be excited about getting characters early. Now I find myself thinking about the cost, the grind, the gear, the relics, and how long it’ll be before I can actually enjoy what I just invested in.

And honestly, maybe this just isn’t for me anymore.

Maybe I need to stop chasing every new character and find a different hobby where spending money doesn’t come with another waiting period before I can actually use what I paid for.

I’m not trying to tell anyone else how to play or spend their money. If you’re enjoying the game, genuinely, more power to you.

I’m just realizing that I’m not enjoying this cycle anymore.

    Darjelo, the last thing I want to do is condescend to you. However. That is half the point of spending. To get the boost ahead of other players.

  • I think it’s more of a concern for CG that their players no longer want to spend money on their game because the way the bring and release their content sucks. Sure you can play how you want but when people are discouraged from buying your stuff something is wrong and your obviously not listening

    It's fine for people to not enjoy the game, but the OP is making out as though it is necessary to spend money to do things like unlock a GL or develop an era character and that they "can't do that any more". 

    My point is that OP doesn't have to do that any more. The game won't suddenly be unplayable if they stop spending money. 

     

  • I call BS.  Just trying to complain.  Especially if you’re a long time player.

    This applies to end-game accounts with masses of resources stocked up. If OP is not one of those people, who still likes staying on top, it's a net negative for them. The age-old adage of "not everyone is at the same level" is present but also slightly redundant here because the end here is enjoyment. If OP is not enjoying the game, then OP is not enjoying the game, and it's healthy to recognise that regardless of where your progress is.

  • Everything you describe is doable without spending any money whatsoever. Are you aware of this?
