Why The Major Shipment Price Increase?

This is something I have wanted to talk about for a little while and now that Shoretrooper is added to shipments and you can find shards in groups of 8, now would be an appropriate time to discuss this.

In shipments, you can buy:

2 shards - 100 crystals
3 shards - 150 crystals
4 shards - 320 crystals
8 shards - 640 crystals

Why the price increase from 3 shards to 4 shards? Should it not be:

2 shards - 100 crystals
3 shards - 150 crystals
4 shards - 200 crystals
8 shards - 400 crystals

I get that some of these toons are premium and what not, but the math is majorly flawed. Even if the toons are premium, it still costs 66,000 crystals to get the toon 7* from the ground up.

A developer response would be appreciated.

I know there will be those people who say premium toons should be expensive, but 66k crystals is expensive.

    Premium characters have a premium cost. Grievous for example


    That doesn't stop the math from being flawed. Grevious is in FS pretty often from my experience so I could get him and 7* if I wanted to, but he sucks for a "premium toon"

    Well, what do you want? If you are not a new player it's better like this than pulling chromiums and praying to RNGesus that you will get required toon so many times

    Exclusives (non node/shipment farmable) have always been 80 crystals per shard (4/320). Node/shipment farmable have always been 50 per shard 2/100 or 3/150.
    I believe currently, haven't paid that much attention, baze and Shoretrooper are the only chromium exclusive in the pve shipments at the 4/320 or 8/640 cost. (kit fisto might still show for that since for some reason they never adjusted his price when they made him non chromium exclusive).

    Yea what scuba said, Baze and Shore are the only ones with 80/shard. I'm glad they added the option to buy 8 at a time and removed the toons that are no longer premium. I have been refreshing every day so I can finally finish Shore and Baze and have yet to see any other toon in that spot

    It's around 26k crystals to 7* a toon that has a cost of 80 crystals a shard. Still alot. But far less than 66k.
