It's just unfair, after money and time i have spent

This kind of explains why suddenly a lot of the guys I run in to at my arena level managed to get full gear IX - X squads. This is really disheartening since after weeks of playing fairly, I only have 3 characters that are gear IX or higher.

You know can't help but wonder what would've happened if they wouldn't have said anything about this? I mean did anybody know before the announcement that there was 'a 90 minute window in which you could've claimed multiple rewards from raids'? Don't think so...they should've just stayed quiet and deal with it how they please and then, nobody would have known. Instead they've created this.

I mean, people found out before the announcement too though. Guildmates were sharing this among each other. There were forum posts since removed around the forum talking about it before the announcement. I also wouldn't be surprised if people found some really suspicious activity in the arena with players never seen before suddenly having many fully geared characters.

After spending a disgusting sum on this game, power-levelling teams to perform better in raids, and refreshing shipments for furnaces and droid callers, and to hear that a significant number of players got virtually unlimited quantities of this gear for free - it makes me furious. Anyone who's seen my recent posts will know I've been pretty hacked off with the game recently anyway.

Gear gating was the single biggest mistake they ever made with this game, coupled with a raid structure having miserable random rewards and encouraging the opposite of teamwork.

Then:

Pre-crafting: Strike 1
Guild hopping: Strike 2
Alt factory: Strike 3
Pre-crafting "solution" opportunistic cash grab: Strike 4
Unlimited free raid gear: Strike ****ing 5

And in each case, the exploiters keep their winnings. Why? Because it's too much work to manually edit player accounts, because it would cost money in man-hours and it's too hard. Because they'd have to work on a client update or something that isn't directly generating revenue.

And then the players who've spent thousands for faster progression, paying EA/CG wages, supporting the game, get to look at players in their arena or guild who gained months of advantage for FREE.

After the events of the last few months, the solution to this had better be pretty spectacular.

This is the last straw for me. I don't care what the Devs offer to "fix" this issue they are incompetent and don't deserve my money or time any longer. Good bye SWGoH community it was fun while it lasted.

Everyone,

I am speaking with the game team tonight, but likely won't have a full update until tomorrow when everyone is back in the office. It was my understanding that all rewards that were claimed multiple times during the window where there was an error would be removed.

Please be patient as I highly doubt it was intended for all of those rewards to stay with the players. I'll report back tomorrow once I have all the details.

Thanks.

Thank you, Jesse. Hopefully, @CG_JohnSalera and the rest of the EA/CG team can pull together and give this a prompt and just resolution.

Bravo! On point with the "strike 1, 2, etc..." As well a spectacular solution. And to add to that solution... One that doesn't line their pockets with more of the hard working people's money. Bc that's not a solution for us. It's basically them saying "sorry. But here you go. You now have a chance for this so long as you got the crystals and real cash to pay us for it"

I wouldn't consider myself a whale in this game by any means. I don't have the luxury to be one of them. However, I have spent a decent amount of money on this game for my current life situation. Probably more than I should at times. So yes, no matter if you're p2p, f2p or somewhere in between free and whale, there are way to many issues happening. As well as many that just aren't being fixed.
