What is the point of colleseum?

What is the reason it exists? Youre paying money to upgrade abilities? Is that it? We cant use the characters in any other game mode until they leave colleseum, when we can upgrade abilities for free as normal. So....... why? Its dull, its pointless. No wonder the communications guy has gone missing

    I think CG knows what they are doing when it comes to manipulating the playerbase and maximizing EA shareholder returns.  They have turned R10 mats into something that the players are bidding against each other to obtain.  There is no set value conversion because you may be on a chill shard or you may be on a cutthroat one.  But the currency needed to acquire the R10 mats is zero sum, meaning if you get more, someone else in your shard gets less.

    Im aware the spelling is poor, but if cg cant be bothered, neither can I be to correct it

  • Coliseum is for r10. 

    If you're not into r10, it's not for you. If you want r10 but you're not a whale? Well, the top 10 players get 1000 tokens while you get 50. Congrats, you get 5% of their progress. So you want r10, but you won't get it. 

    Do you get anything else? 

    Well, when you finally get your marquee toon, you get to skip the lower gear tiers. But if you had plenty of gear just sitting around doing nothing, then... you get nothing of value. 

    The g1-g11 is worthless. The r10 progress is so small as to be worthless. There is nothing of value for the loyal players who have had a chance to stockpile gear. 

    If you're brand new, congrats, you get a bunch of free low-tier gear + some kyros. If you're midgame, you get a bunch of free low-tier gear so that you can spend what you do have on old toons. Great that you get that Iden Verso up to g10, isn't it? If you're a whale, you get good progress on r10. 

    But no one else gets anything. It's a boring game mode with no rewards that actually matter. I'm certainly not motivated to play this.
