Why are we loosing P2P players?

Didn't like the initial mods update, OK with the present one. But, still going F2P from a very high spending P2P (have almost all the exclusive toons). I was one of those guys always working on some extra toons, didn't hoard anything. Spent every credit, energy and crystals building a diverse roster. Trying to be prepared for a meta change, a new direction, new raids. As much as I can be. Credit crunch was always there so I managed upgrades, spent crystals only for new toons/ parts and energy refreshes (credit packs are too much of a hustle, couldn't bring myself to purchase them).

Now, I see there is no way I can play as I used to, not without becoming a whale. I just cannot work on diversity as a P2P. I'll have to concentrate on modding up my Arena team, at least 10 toons for GW,then start on levelling and upgrading all the toons I have so that I can complete the mod challenges. It cannot be done, not with my aversion to the outright cash grab the credit packs are. Everything needs credits and there's none on sight.

As F2P, I can and will take things slowly. And I won't be mad once EA opens up more avenues for spending credits while squeezing whatever sources you already had. I will no longer worry that EA doesn't understand how I can justify spending cash on Rex or Rey or any of the Star Wars toons but I really am going to hate being forced to spend on generic virtual currency. All of us know this, the credit crunch is going to get worse. All hail the Galaxy of Credits. Buy as much as you can cos you sure can't earn them. Unless you're a F2P and are willing to grind and manage. So... I'll manage.
