Why is there a credit leveling wall? Shouldn't the game makers try promote use of uncommon characters and character use in general? Wouldn't that lead to more sales of product?I don't understand the strategy of keeping players from leveling and using characters. For instance, with the new characters introduced, why keep players from leveling them or making a decision to drop a current grind for the new toon. That actively prevents people from buying new product.If you allowed players to level all characters with limited restriction, it may in turn lead to a player wanting a new character and therefore spend money to purchasing the new product. Specific example, Asoka Fulcrum. If I could level her, not taking away from the 8 characters I'm waiting on credits to level and 7* up, I may purchase her product, if I like her. I though the Sith were awesome, the mandos were super cool, and there is no way I have had time to do/ buy/ level/ or even try all the others..... Why purchase or even grind something new when I can't level what I have?I've had the thought especially after getting close to 10 characters at lvl 30-40 at 3* ready to 7* when I have cash. Who do I grind? I can't level someone even if I wanted. I'll wait till credit heist.... uh I got 1.5 mils, bad RNG, I guess I'll wait till next time....again.Wait, I have no video, I guess deductive reasoning didn't happen.

You can buy credits. If you want to spend money there you go.If people could lvl without restrictions they would get board quick and then stop playing. The game is a grind. The grind is life.

+1And simplifying gear too, at least g9 should be really easy.

The grind is life.I don't like the idea of spending real cash on resources either. It isn't appealing. A strategy of money for characters, specifically, is much more substantive and "rewarding" for a player. It gives the player sold product and generates fulfillment of a transaction vs a purchase for credits to level what someone all ready has or gear. I would anticipate spending real currency on resources would have a negative effect and lead toward players quiting and other adverse result.

They do promote the use of many characters and have made several events that require specific toons.

What they have stated is that they don't want thing open to all toons because they didn't want just 1 or 2 teams to be able to do it all.

Wait a minute..

Are you telling me that this game about gearing, leveling and collecting characters, is all about gearing, leveling and collecting characters??

I sure wish I knew when I first started playing that we would have to grind a little. I feel soooooooooo cheated...

I am lvl 78, I don't have access to maxed lvl tier events/dailies. I get 100k from credit dailies that won't even allow 1 toon to jump from 5* -> 6*. I have 4 toons at 7*, and only 1 at lvl 78. I have too much leveling and farming to do to allow me to effectively attend my team in a shard that's fighting all maxed gear and toons. I can't even beat the scoundrel event for 70+ currently.

I'm lucky I have an amazing rebel squad, but until recently, I've been lvl 70 gl8 taking on 85 gl9+ teams. If it weren't for my Chaze & wiggs combo, I wouldn't have a chance.

You would think that they would reward players with more lucrative amount of credits. I understand gear grinding, that's another topic entirely, but as for credits, please fix the small amounts available to earn across all platforms, not just in credit heists.

That's the current system they are using and it seems to keep them bringing in $$.

Buying am actual "thing" for money gives people a direct view and therefore am effective way to make a (even subconscious ) cost benefit analysis. <-- this is bad for spending. Impulse over educated spending is the business model
