Respectfully, as a middling player of about 21 months’ actual gameplay (albeit interrupted), I have a genuine question for the player base: what is your end game end? Or more simply, what is the goal you have in mind to tell you that you have won the game?Is it to have collected all the toons and taken them to a particular level?Is it to have topped your arena/Grand Arena etc and/or defended you position?Is it to have finished all the quests?Or is it a sort of zen thing where the end is just to be in the moment and see what happens next (we all come back to the state of being beginners eventually)?I’m interested in the personal teleologies of players and what motivates them to keep laying/spending etc. Has anyone won the game yet & walked away happy?

Nice question. I am likewise curious.For me, GoH is a perpetual series of mini-games.- I "won" when I got all the Phoenix squad- I "won" again when I got my first G7 toon- I will win when I get my first 7* toon- Likewise, when I get Thrawn- Eventually, I hope to win CLS- Completing a Heroic raid- Level 85 will be a victorySome of these I've accomplished in the past on another account, but you get the idea.

These games are not meant to have an end. They are meant to profit off of wasting our lives away.

These games are not meant to have an end. They are meant to give us enjoyment, for free no less. It's pretty amazing when you think about it

Playing the game because it's fun.

I don't understand why someone who feels the second way would keep playing.

Whenever it stops being fun. There's no "win condition."

Addiction/habit, cost/time investment, etc.

Also, I enjoy playing this game, yet I know this game was not developed and maintained for my enjoyment, it was developed and maintained to make money, period.

It's designed to make money, yet I'm not spending any. I'd call that winning!
