This minority argument is getting stale, no offence. But if the minority complains then its an even smaller minority of happy people playing.

I'm actually very happy with the game as a free player, and very glad that whales are out there. No whale hate here. It is a difficult to balance making the game enjoyable, and profitable. You need a very large base of free/low spenders who can be competitive or else whales won't spend. They need someone to have an advantage over. All in all I like the balance they have struck there. Love the current character release, and most of the events.

And the very large following of loyal players along with the huge money this game rakes in suggests that lots of us are very happy. But it's the internet. So a vocal minority will cry, and gripe, and blow things out of proportion when they don't like something, and hurl insults at the devs from behind their keyboards that they would never have the guts to say to actual people (which they are by the way) face to face. That's not just here. That's the internet.

Personally I don't agree with everything in the game, but it's vastly improved over the way it was 18 months ago when I started, and I like where it's headed. And you are 100% right that I will get tons of disagreement on that.

So i started playing this game dec 14th 2015 (the day my son was born). I stayed out of the forums for 16 months. But as a guild leader i needed knowledge and help to advance the guild. But being caught up in the forums this is what I've learned.
1. Strategy wise almost everyone agrees on some what the same thing, farming, spending, mods ect. All on the same page.
2. No one agrees on any anything ever other than basic strategy. Some hate that thrawn is a fan favorite legendary, or that ewoks r getting a rework. Everyone has their own agenda and r tunnel vision.
3. F2p hate whales and blame all updates or events on them as money making or cash grabs.
4. No one is happy.
5. They forums have a lot of useful threads for every 9 threads complaining about something someone disagrees with.

BUT what i learned the most is there is a lot of passionate players that want the most out of the game. So whether you what GG reworked or a jedi rework. There r always improvements. But honesty for a mobile game this is the most connected i have ever felt to the devs. I actually feel like they care (even if others disagree). This game has evolved and became better since day 1. So thank you devs! I have never enjoyed a mobile game as much as this one

Congrats on fatherhood and don't mind the whiners.

Thank you OP.

F2P should NEVER BE MAD that any event is a money grab- devs need money! Well, if you dont want to pay, thank those who do so allowing you to play. No money = no game.

Well everyone says it's a minority that's complaining, but in fact it's just a minority attending the forums to complain. There's 3 people from my guild who even bother posting on the forums but that doesn't mean the rest of the guild aren't complaining or upset about the same thing.

Edit: when there is something to be upset about anyway.

Obviously everyone has a thought about how things could be better. But the statement that no one is happy is what I was referring to. You have a guild full of people who are enjoying playing enough every day to be in a guild.

It's a small number of people who come here daily to say that everything is horrible, and the sky is falling, and the game will fall apart in a matter of days if everything isn't done their way. They seem to be personally offended by the devs for trying to, I don't know, feed their families by making money at their job?!? A few insults will be thrown. THAT is a minority.

But the majority find enough enjoyment in the game to keep at it, and some even to spend a bit here and there even though we all have ideas about how it could be better.

Agreed, no one would play if they were truly unhappy with the game. It is a minority that will hurl insults and goes as far as to post those insults in the forums. However when there is a reason to gripe far to often someone will say it's a minority of people complaining when the truth is we don't and will never really know.
