We've tried...

We asked that you not lock TB territories at 3* but let officers determine a lock point.


What a thing to be upset over.

It's a long story, and since you've only posted 5 times maybe you're aware and maybe you aren't... but about a dozen officers from various guilds got together and started a thread and asked for some very specific tools to help manage TB's. What they ended up giving us wasn't close to what we asked for and this one thing specifically was way off the mark from our ask. Then there was the thread where they told us what we'd get and (we actually logged responses) 98.5% of the hundreds of responses asked for/supported this very specific ask - That they not lock them at 3*.
I know it sounds funny in a vacuum, but almost everyone who participated in this discussion asked them not to do this and they did it anyway. When nearly 100% of your active/involved player base asks you not to do something and you do it anyway....

Can anyone remember that longwinded thank you post where everyone seemed to agree that the devs were awesome? 22 pages or something.
Why? because they changed the hoth rebel soldier requirements back to 5 stars.
Good times, good times. Try to remember and love the devs once more !

It was good time! I'm in that very thread thanking them for hearing us! I've done quite a bit of thanking the devs and Kozi for hearing us over the past two years. If the game/experience was all bad, even the SW franchise wouldn't have kept us around. There's lots to love about this game! (And while I've been frustrated at times by them, I do love a good Kozi meme)
I thanked them when they listened to us and moved TB phases from 12-24 hours.
I've thanked them for picking up communication with us in the past.
I've also been (admittedly) overly critical and snarky to them in the past.
But it's this same cycle over and over (think about all the buggy stuff I didn't list like mod gate, modgate 2.o, the Rancor rewards issue, LS TB SM rewards not coming through, and others I've forgotten at this point). And at some point, you have to get off the ride and what I hear in these forums, on reddit, in various Discord servers is... a lot of people are very frustrated right now. A lot of people are leaving the game. I don't have concrete numbers... just knocking on the sky and listening to the sound.
I think what you're missing from my post is... this is not a complaint post. Not really. I love the game and I enjoy playing it.
This is a "hope" post. Here's hoping they listen and care enough about what we think to improve the user experience.
