As someone that is a Freemium player-having spent ~$150-200- I'd love to farm *cough* purchase the clone team simply because they look 'neat'. I think @EA_Jesse should understand that online games/mmos ALWAYS fall into the 'you have to run this setup/group meta to compete'. Give the player base different avenues to have fun! I don't want to have to run the Old Ben Rey RG X X meta! Clones look like SOO Much fun!
But you're missing out on one persons possible HUNRENDS of dollars revenue, multiply that times the hundreds that are complaining and that number jumps to 10's of thousands of revenue lost!
I'm not trying to get negative here or the whole "EA needs the whales" argument, but from a business perspective those that spend significant money on this game should get a little more attention. I work in the Casino Gaming business and you better believe our VIP's that make up a small percentage of our player population but generate 80%+ of our revenue get a LOT of attention. When they submit a complaint on their customer survey, it's addressed within 48 hours. I neither expect nor want the personal attention we give our players, but when we purchase their products and we give feedback; I think we deserve a little attention in this type of forum especially when that product is brand new and there are issues to work out. It honestly just makes me want to spend less money on this game. Then throw in the way the mod system works and I'm further irritated with it all.
frankly Whales or those that spend $$ should receive the attention you give them at your place of work! Capitalism at work here folks! I myself cant afford-well I can but then I couldn't afford my divorce :neutral: -thousands of dollars. But I'm willing to spend a couple of hundred more just to get this team. I never understood the disparage for those that spend $$. Its said persons $$ they can do what they like!
I understand its tough to balance FTP toons with PTP toons but its really common sense that if I spend ~500 like some of you did I'd BETTER get a good return on my investment! I don't expect to purchase EU Sidious and have him taking out full teams alone *cough*REY*cough* but there should be an advantage for those that spend $$.
Some guy drives past me in a Porsche, am I supposed to get angry and rant because I can't afford one?
