Was coliseum really necessary?

Ive had mixed feelings about coliseum since it was introduced. I know that some players say it's a huge cash grab since we have to invest more into resources to level up the new characters to reach higher tiers and the bigger push to 7 star the toons. To me I think it has some decent qualities as it allows me to get these new toons to higher gear level before they even become available to use outside of coliseum and saves me vital salvage but at the same time the shard farming is a nightmare since drop rates are poor and we still have to wait until they are farmable. This and whenever new toons are added to the game while a coliseum run is active (jedi leia I'm looking at you) I get a little too excited for new content only to realize it is a conquest toon.

  • Once upon a time, at a small Indie Company in Sacramento, CG decided with their little AI laptop to ask a question.  More Money?  So they asked the AI ever so politely, build me a heavily monetized system that make stockpiles of gear irrelevant, is fueled by cash, pretends to level set the game so new players spend money, alienates and invalidates older players investments, and gives huge incentives to get dolphins to spend.  It also has to be incredibly boring, like Baby Einstein toy boring and hold the player’s hands, and have EA IP and be Star Wars.  And there you have it.  The creation of the Coliseum.  This Little Golden Book can be loaned at your public library or read in the much loved gamer magazine Variety: interview with a money vampire.

    I don't mind it. I know it's not very exciting but getting all marquees at G12 is great but I don't know why so many people feel obligated to spend money on it and then complain about the cost.

    I just miss being able to immediately use new toons in other battles. Having to wait until the coliseum event is over just to access them and then wait until they are farmable makes them a pain to deal with. So far ive only managed to 7 star ig 99 and everyone else so far is between 5 and 6 stars and that's with farming all coliseum toons daily.
