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.

Credits aren't the issue. There has to b a bottleneck to encourage spending and that is gear. Remember when there was no Credit Heist ? U really had to be selective.

I come from that time which is why I am sitting on 30 mil credits atm. Selective leveling. If i am not gonna put a character to at least gear X and omega their skills, they don't get leveled. No need.

Say u get a purple offense cross w/ crit, prot and speed secondaries. I lvl it to 3 to see if speed increases. If it does, I go to 6 and so on. If it won't touch double-digit speed minimum, it gets no more levels which saves credits.

I'm pretty selective with my leveling and starring up, and I'm still constantly low on credits. I'm in a guild that runs 5-6 raids/week, I usually place in the top 3, I finish all GW nodes every day and I'm still short.

At the moment, I have 12 characters I haven't starred to 6 and/or 7* yet and I don't level up characters unless I'm going to use them. But between buying good mods, moving mods and the leveling/starring up I do do, I'm constantly short.

+1 THIS!
I guess there's the 1% of players who have enough credits, but the rest of us need many millions more. 30 wouldn't even get me all the way caught up.

You run our because you are pretty selective. You need to be down right harsh, if you are not about to use them or using them already it's a waste. If they are not a key part in a plan to double your raid score or be used in multiple areas that you are having trouble it's a waste.

Don't level a team piece meal, wait until everyone is almost there and do it.

Do or do not there is no pretty selective - yoda

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.

i'm not really referring to events requiring specific toons or factions.

i'm referring to the promotion of rebels in this game in general. they make the rebels like gods. any combination of 5 of them are an unstoppable mass of garbage. sometimes you just need 2 and they can wipe out your whole team before you can even blink.

......sure.....

but my point is they made events that you can't use the toons you dont like (and spread not to true stories about) .... but i guess that doesn't matter to you.

have fun.

maybe you should play a different game since you dont seem to like much of the content and even go so far as to not play the game......

My current count to gear toons is 5000 Mk3 carbantis. Credits aren't an issue for long time players. You could drop 100M in my lap, but that wouldn't solve the gear problem.

Yeah, I'm glad I'm not the only person who does this. It would cost me about 10 million credits just to activate the star levels I already have the shards for. But I'd rather have the flexibility to level a few characters if the need were to hit suddenly.

I get where you're coming from, but let's say for a moment that characters were easier to level up in terms of credits spent. Does that automatically mean people are going to invest in the less than ideal characters of the game as a result? Some may, certainly, but for the most part it would just mean an abundance of credits for the majority of players to continue focusing on the characters they care about using, and thus devaluing credits overall.

I personally feel like a good middle ground to this would be to let your characters gain EXP via GW battles. Whoever you use in GW will gain EXP for free at the end of the battles and then credits still remain a valuable resource while making other less viable characters still playable and easing their cost to level. Or maybe even allow excess shards to go towards EXP for characters as well as Shard Currency.

My phoenix team would love this. Like clones they almost solo all nodes before I have to step in. Today I leveled them to 80 from 70. Lol I usually have to swap tk zader squad for node 11/12. Super fast triple cleanse teams rex leads and such. I haven't broke gw and doubt I ever will. Annihilate ftw

THAT is a most excellent idea.

I. Would use toons that need experience towards the beginning of war to level them up, promoting diversity and experimentation.
