I understand f2p players will not like what i am about to say.I have an arguement for having a zeta pack like the omega pack we get once per month or however often it comes around. I have been wanting to see padme come into the game for a long time and I would have spent money on getting her however I was out of zeta mats. Nowadays to make a team viable you have to invest 3-5 zetas or more. I still have other toons waiting for zetas so i didn't invest money to get padme to 7* because I knew I wouldn't be able to get zeta mats fast enough to make a padme team. The sad part is that i have all of the other toons at g12+. I knew at the rate i get zetas it was wiser for me to just wait until she came back since i would have enough zetas by then. I have been around since ships first came out so i have a lot of zetas and get first in fleet daily. I have a lot of zeta mats coming my way but I still can't keep up. I can only imagine how hard it must be for a younger whale to keep up. Please CG if you dont want to just give out more zetas consider a zeta pack that comes around at least once per month. Thank you for your consideration.

So in short, your argument for a zeta pack is that you don't have enough zetas to equip on your toons, so we need them?

You get plenty of zetas every month, there is no need for such pack."ThaneKyrell;d-204846" wrote:I understand f2p players will not like what i am about to say. That is just stupid to say. Just manage your stuff better.

Do you really think that any of us can keep up on zetas? Lol I dont take first everyday in fleet arena, barely participate in ga and I average a full zeta every week or 2 depending on what other events are going on in game. Sure the idea seems great, but it would do way more harm to the health of the game than good.

Even though I said I wouldn’t (it’s really not that hard to do a google search and find this info for yourself if you really want it), I did it anyways and the data is from SensorTower.

And plenty of other people have pointed to that and plenty more have pointed out the issues with using it.

For all the f2p players that feel this would throw off the balance of the game you forget that mods already did that. Whales can spend hundreds and thousands of dollars to get better mods. While there is RNG in mods the more you can attempt at getting better mods the more likely you will have them. If someone has 200 more 10+ mods and 100 more 15+ speed mods than you then it doesn’t matter if you have 20 more zetas.

Whales can gain an advantage in nearly all aspects of the game, not just mods. Zetas are the one holdout right now, and people would like to keep one thing that can't just be bought and has to be earned through gameplay.

But why? The lack of zetas (regardless of source) is hurting the bottom line for this game. Lots of spenders of all types have 0 pressure to spend on gear because they don’t have the zetas to use anyways.

I don’t agree with the argument that the ability to purchase zetas, especially in limited quantities, would put too much of a difference between F2P and whales. First off, that gap is way, way too small right now to begin with, which is a big reason why revenue for the game has declined sharply. Second, the zetas most people would buy extra are not on the top teams. It’s the lesser teams that people want to have fun with. I don’t think increasing the strength of those teams for only P2P is going to harm the game.

This is exactly my point too. Most of the zetas i want are for lesser teams and less impactful toons. Jyn, cassian, k2, ST han, and other more "fun" zetas. Some zetas that would help to theorycraft and test out different teams for all areas of the game.

They should just add Fleet Arena Currency to the Ship Nodes. Just like Cantina nodes. Then we can buy more zetas from fleet shop easier

If Carrie does what she said on the escape pod podcast and gives us at least one zeta mat on the challenges then there would be less of an arguement for zeta packs.

Because once all the whales have bought and maxxed all th eir toons with zetas then nothing for them to spend on... it's a one time boost to CG's monthly income and then the game is totally out of whack for just a quick cash grab....

making zetas purchasable is horrible idea and this is from a guy who get's 0 0, 0 0, 0 1, every week

It's actually already behind a paywall for most people and don't need to be achieved with a bundle.
It's behind a paywall because you would have to get good results in Ships to obtain zeta or having played so long that you achieved the ship store.
It's also obtainable from GA, which eventually is more accessible for people who payed in this game or directly had a very good start, focused on essential characters, etc...
And it's a reward from TW, an event where powerful guilds with numerous squads perform better, where obviously, the more GP you have the better the results are but still not going along with the GA, so you'll have to be in a very good place for both if you want to get a lot of zetas.

None of these are paywalls.

If you believe that Time = Money then EVERYTHING is a paywall! ???

due to my luck getting the guaranteed 1 will be nice because I'll get 2 instead of 0 so it's great.

I do feel bad for the lucky people in a way tho because that guaranteed 1 will ensure getting the 2 will be like hitting the 355 in a shard pack pull will never happen lol...so the lucky people getting 3 or even 4 the majority of the time will now only be getting 2.... so knowing the forum....people will still complain lol
