Aside from the increased prices in shard shop I don't see why there's been so much hate for this update. I mean double drops for any toon that has been in the game for at least a year is great especially for me since I'm still 7 starring hux and sith trooper for slkr. We get extra shards from other shops and even more shards for unchanged prices in shipments. I barely ever use ally tokens since all I ever get from those packs are useless gear or a shard for a random toon I could care less about. So really as a free to play gamer I feel like there's really no drawback to this update.
The reason is simple:
Everything in the most important shop is doubled in prices.
Full character drop on bronziums, login character shards and shard drops from assault battles aren't --> resulting in halving the value of these shards.
This is a big crush in the face of long time players using shards gained anywhere in the game simply to buy the painful G12 gear in the shard shop. Just a move towards "Buy more packs" by CG
Simple maths of the value change of shard currency:
A morning prior to the change:
Login Char: 6 shards
Galactic War: 5 shards
Farming BTL Y wing: 1 shard Ima-Gum di
Bronzium drop: 2 shards, 1 Full char Ewok Scout -> 10 shards = 12 shards in total
Cantina Store: One buy 5 shards
Galactic war store: Two buys 10 shards
Rebel roundup assault battle Tier 1 - 3: 42 shards in total
-------------------------------
SUM: 81 shards -> x15 = 1230 Token for the shard store
Now we go shopping
18 stun guns : 558 (3 buys)
6 Carbs: 186 (1 buy)
8 Medpack: 360 (2 buys)
Cost 1104 , leftover 126 Token
And nowadays -> the same shard drops as before under the new drop rules:
Login Char: 6 shards
GW: 10 shards
Farming BTL Y wing: 2 shards Ima-Gum di
Bronzium drop: 4 shards, 1 Full char Ewok Scout -> 10 shards = 14 shards in total
Cantina Store: One buy 10 shards
Galactic war store: Two buys 20 shards
Rebel roundup assault battle Tier 1 - 3: 42 shards in total
-------------------------------
SUM 104 shards -> x 15 = 1560 Token for the shard store
Now we go shopping
18 stun guns : 1116 (3 buys)
6 Carbs: 372 (1 buy)
8 Medpack: 720 (2 buys)
Cost 2208 , leftover -648 Token
Got it?
Assault battle shard drops have also been doubled iirc. The only thing that has changed is the full toon drop from bronziums.
