Hi, as a new player I wanted to ask a few things.I have played this game for a grand total of 5 days and as I did not do anything in those 5 days that I could describe as "fun" I have just uninstalled it.I am wondering if this is a product of the game being too old, has it evolved to this restrictive blocked grind or is this how it always was. 90 percent of the game is locked to advanced players. You cant enjoy anything unless you pay but if players cant enjoy anything why would they pay? Maybe it wasn't as blocked always and the level and star requirements were relaxed earlier? Im not sure.But from my experience :- story line is blocked by energy requirements spend 10 mins simulating and thats all u can play for the day.pve is limited to 5 timesevents are limited by character requirementsguilds only commit to 7 star raidsno guild events for newbiesno mod battles for newbiesno galactic wars for newbiesother things Im not even aware of.I suppose the game expects to make revenue off players its already got hooked months ago. I don't see why a new player will wanna stay/spend.If any EA staff see this, might I suggest if a 7 star is a requirement to do anything on this game now, maybe start new players off with a weak one like netmarble does in its games of the same format, so that new players might enjoy the game enough to stay and possibly spend. Thanks all for reading!

This person's feedback is essential. Knowing that a gamer can install the product, view enough of the content to do the math, and walk away is a good thing to know and probably representative of a measurable percentage of people that have downloaded SWGoH only to abandon it. The whole marathon thing either needs to die or make its way into the game description on Google by adding words and phrases like "eventually" "slowly paced" "one day" or "after several years". And not recommending the game is not nonsense. It's an awful grind. It is. And knowing players will NOT recommend the game is also essential feedback.If you ran a restaurant that served amazing food but most people never came back a second time, you'd want to know why. And if it came to your attention that many of them felt the service took too long, it'd be something worth considering and reevaluating because it's extremely likely that those people had a reasonable expectation.

galactic wars at lvl 40 takes 2 days to unlock, mods at lvl 50 takes 3-4 days

No, the game was not always like this because everyone had to start at the beginning. As far as the energy refreshes, those are the same but higher level players have more energy overall. We all had to progress to unlock the various features and they made the game more well-rounded. If you want everything unlocked at a low level, you have unrealistic expectations. Galaxy War and Mod Battles are for higher levels because you need lots of toons to complete them, newer players would never be able to compete even if the features were unlocked. As far as 7 star raids, try joining a guild of newbies. My old guild (I am in my second) ran tier 1-5 rancor raids for a very long time, but then we progressed to 7star because we all had the powerful toons. Some of what you say makes sense, but it seems you don't want to earn any progress, you want it handed to you without having done any work. Do you have a job in the real world?

You can’t have everything after 5 days.. sorry to say. Its a game

Not everyone likes the same thing. This game isn't for you. Fair enough.

my friends ask me about the game and im telling them to not play it obviously the game is not for newbies and if u do not spend ALOT of money u will never catch up whales and long time players progress way faster and the gap increase each them they amplify rewards for deep rosters player's and since territory battle release having a deep roster is mandatory many peoples got kicked out from their guild cauz they do not have the galactic power required so for those reasons i do not recommend the game to any1 unless u r rdy to spend tons of moneys and be ready to spend alot of time on it cauz nowadays this game is very time consumming

Not true a friend of mine broke his android and had to restart on io's. He's back in the game in no time focused on phoenix for emperor and trawn and because of that hes back up there. And he's f2p aswell.

The game has always been like that. It’s essentially a severe grind until you get workable characters. But even high end players are blocked by the severe grind to stay relevant.

The feeling you feel now, is the entire game. Content will always be locked until you progress. Progress is simply simming until you pass the point.

Then you play the progress in a few minutes and it’s over and back to the grind again.

Now there is one raid made for newer players, but you will have to do work to find a guild who runs it. The pit has much lower difficulty levels, going as low as 2 or 3 star requirements?

Anyways, we at the high end have already put the time to progress at the high end, but we still have to be blocked to progress. The reason we stay is the time and money put in. It takes a lot to quit once you’ve been drawn in. Guild breaking up, or realizing the monotony, ect.

you missed the point. Dont really want everything or to be the best in 5 days, just some part of this "game" to be "fun" like games are supposed to be. atm its zero fun and 100 percent work.
