I an just curious who else is sick of these devs continually rolling out new teams of characters and then setting up all of the events to need the new characters? For instance, when inquistors came out not long after almost every event now requires inquistors. Then Hutt Cartel came out, now every event requires them. How about focusing on reworking some of the previous characters that are useless and revamping the store? I mean old players have millions of galactic war tokens, or arena tokens, and every other token because you have not updated the store in years and it is the same useless shards being offered. If nothing else at least rotate out the character shards that are available to buy each week. How about this, since you want to push inquistors and Hutt Cart on everyone, why not make the character shards purchasable with Arena tokens or War tokens? All I am saying is it seems like you have this attitude that you are trying to bleed the player base dry before going out of business.

Well, it's just business from their perspective. Little or no money from reworks or touch ups so push newer content behind the flavour of the month. I'd imagine their sales data tells them what brings in the money.

Yeah, believe it or not Disney is pushing out new SW content, so SWGOH has to keep pace with that. When the Ahsoka series comes out you think they're gonna be releasing Phantom Menace stuff?

Don't create a team then make unqiue content for those teams and remove content that doesn't use them. And by remove, i don't mean remove from the game, i mean it removes older accessible to most content from the rotation.They don't get that there are two sides to the coin. Yes, if the whales leave the game is in big trouble. If you drive away the lower end and FTP, it will also kill the game. The whales aren't going to fork it out to beat each other.

Your ideas don’t make any sense from a business standpoint… the newest characters should be very much free and easily accessible from the get go? Not much money in that kind of a business…

I have no idea. OP was frustrated about 'bleeding money' into the game. You say money isn't needed. So spending either is or isn't needed. My take on it is if don't spend then expect to miss out on stuff for a while.

You quite literally don't need money to play the game. But that depends on how you play and with what. So your comment is open to interpretation. You absolutely can FTP it. Just don't expect Jabba on release.

So is money needed or nott? Well, that depends doesn't it.

So you reply to a post saying ”not the point of the discussion” without having a clue what the the point of the discussion is?

He's not asking for the new characters to be free or instantly accessible too everyone.

He and probably 95% of the player base is talking about being tired of the events revolving around the brand new squads that require spending hundreds if not closer to thousands of dollars on just to be able to do the events.

Another example of this nonsense is the Grand Inquisitor. They've decided to make it so his event doesn't come back around until after those who whaled out to get him first time around can play with his ship before anyone else can even play with him.

They are constantly giving the vast majority of the players the middle finger by making every new event after every new squad comes out require that squad.

They can't even manage to complete the gear updates too the game that were promised over a year ago at this point, but they can continue to create brand new characters.

Why get new characters if there arent new events to use them in? So you cant do an event for a few months, it will be ok.
