Everything is implicitly subject to change

Of course. But I think you're missing the point. The point is that expectations were set ... and then there was no communication. People aren't defending the idea that CG can't change the nature of the event or the drop rate during the event. People are defending the idea that it was reasonable for them to expect things to continue as they had been in the absence of communication.

If there had been communication, fine.

If there had never been an event like this before, fine.

But this falls into neither of those categories. The change should have been announced. It's not a bad change (though it doesn't work out quite as well as before). It's just another occasion on which CG fell down on the communication job.

Well they communicated, so no longer a reason to be an upset?

Yes, I agree it would've been nice to have known ahead of time but I think this was an honest oversight. I didn't think it was necessary to mention drop rates were changed until the forum backlash yesterday when I found out the same time as everyone else, and I don't think CG predicted it was going to cause a controversy. At least I was very surprised at how much people were upset about not knowing that drop rates are now 2% because at the end of the day, CG isn't going to reverse the drop rates so why get mad about it? I'm not sure why its ok to be told its 2% rather than finding out its 2%

They did communicated within a day which is good. Its the standard response time

I got on 2 days 62/80

So now we know, that the drop rate has been halved. But not a single word on how that changed the cost per shard!
There‘re examples in this thread, that show what’s wrong. Still, CG doesn’t seem to care...

The only reason why CG admitted the droprate change is because people here and on Reddit were tracking droprate data. There was no reason not to post the dev post before the GC began. CG once again being transparent scumbags.

Apart from the fact, that my drop rate is lower than average so far, which hopefully equals out ofer these five days, with the 900 crystals I spent the bonus energy and the accumulated energy so far (315+45) I should’ve gotten 36.2 shards. With Cantina energy accumulated in this time (157+45) I would’ve needed roughly an additional 700 crystals to buy over two days, which equals only 600 crystals! That’s a massive 50% increase!!
(so far. Looking at the full two days it gets even worse)

Statement @CG_SBCrumb ?

everything seems to be right so far. But tell the people that you also made sure that the ship now costs more than twice as many crystals through Refrehes as before ... You should treat the gamers more honestly.

Ebon Hawk 5 Stars cost me 2700 crystals
Hyena Bomber 5 Stars cost me 3000 crystals
Shuttle 5 Stars cost me 2900 crystals
Rebel Y-Wing would cost me> 9250 crystals ....
... if I won't stop the game now.

This is a kind of censorship.
We have known for a long time how opinions should be directed here.
I have also received a warning. It says it all. The truth is to be covered up.

I hope the player base will soon see that you should just show CG your middle finger!
I see you guys somewhere else. See you soon

It is all good saying 'This cut the refresh rate and cost of refreshes for Ship energy in half and Galactic Chase drop rates on Fleet nodes were adjusted from 4% to 2% to account for these changes.'. But this shouldn't equate to an overall 50% drop for the droprates because this logic only applies to the base energy rate for the day + 2 refreshes.

This does not account for the bonus of 45 energy, which has not been doubled. This would have to be 90 energy to fit your logic. There is no account for this rate.
Refreshes originally were 100 for the first 3 lots of 120, this is 360 energy and with your logic this would equal 720 energy for 300 crystals.
Current energy refreshes to get 6 refreshes (remember due to your logic of it being halved) would be 3x 50 + 3x 100. 450 Crystals in total for the energy to be the same effective energy.

Surely you can see at this point that this does not equate to the rate and cost in half approach.

Exactly, You can`t just cut in half something that scales exponentially..

To be fair and square you would also have to account for that, that you get more energy per day - the timer was lowered from 12mins (15?) to 6 mins I believe. OR am I wrong?

Still of course that doesn't mean shard/crystal is the same as in last chases - it's considerably higher.

Not announcing that before the chase...bad play :).
