Re: Canderous ordo gear?!
Maybe he's so overpowered they have to give him strong gear requirements? Usually there's a correlation between difficult gearing and character strength.
There usually is a correlation, but there's never been rancor gear on a toon before gear 8. The fact that the entire gear level is the exact same as his gear 8 one really suggests it's bugged. Not to mention his basic is trying to apply 3 DOTs, not just one, whenever he deals damage (Not working as the description says). This is generally stuff that should be caught before release... Kinda ironic that this happens right after they take away access to the test accounts. Although I doubt the game changers would've noticed the gear level thing as they have infinite gear on those accounts so they can just click all the buttons anyway.

As a mostly FTP player who was disappointed with the inaccessiblity of Revan, I was not at all driven away by it. That there is a counter for Revan now, to me demonstrates the health of the game, by refusing to allow a single meta to dominate unchallenged. Some people expect to be able to pay money for an assured win, at least for a good while. The fact that this game does not allow for that is THE KEY REASON I still play this game.
Less QQ more pew pew.
have we been playing the same game or did you forget Traya and the sith meta that lasted SEVEN MONTHS?
Do people have weak minds who play this game where they manage to forget things instantly and make up false facts and lie? Traya still dominates even under Revan, who can beat her easily on offence but now will lose to her on defence.
We right back to a sith traya meta after like a 3 week break, there is no "The game does not allow for that" the game has been designed to be exactly like that.
I'm honestly amazed that the investment people put into Revan already has fallen through. Revan should have dominated arena for at least 4months, not 3 weeks. The most expensive toon ever to be released hardly got any time at all in the limelight and a counter already is released seems abit.. off.

Re: Let me get this straight?
Considering many a player spent time, resources and whatnot in order to have multiple heroic STR squads capable of defeating the raid, the unleashing of Revan and his Jedi onto the Squad Arenas was a far more severe blow to the playerbase than Dark Bastila.
Unless one has very specific characters (geared and starred for that matter), with godmods equipped, all the effort of farming Traya for months would have been for nothing because her team was de facto incapable of beating pay2win RevanJedi squads.
All DBast does is, giving qualified Traya Sith teams a(nother) realistic chance to beat Revan teams on offense without having to do silly workarounds with Nest and Zaul with still very low success chances.
As someone else pointed out above, nothing holds on defense, isn't supposed to hold and never will until the end of time - that is the nature of the game. Whoever bought Revan in the hopes of having a 24hours top5 team should have known better, after (likely) having played the game for more than a year.
Fools' tears are so sweet to behold. Every time were, are and will be.
And if you still think JKRevan is your god, just you wait until the day when Darth Revan and Darth Malak hit the tables. . . .

That ewok assault battle is the most boooooring assault battle..Ever.
It takes so long and I don’t even think there is a team that can auto it
Re: Let me get this straight?
A lot of high level players are very unhappy about this.
Too soon.

Re: Let me get this straight?
No one forced you to buy revan. Most people who got revan probably invested heavily in or toons before they even knew there would be a revan. He could have been grievous 2.0 and had a horrible kit.

The answers:
1. The money is fraudulent

3. The money goes to and supports criminal organizations
4. They are able to gain crystals at a much lower cost than in-game, thereby inflating the meta and arenas which cause other players to lose crystals due to less access to crystals via rankings

I was not offering excuses just facts. This is a pay to play game. Revenue is generated by in game purchases with no limit to what somebody is willing to spend. In turn this creates an advantage, not unfair because anyone can, but does create one. Which pushes other people to keep up. Those without unlimited financial resources look to circumvent the system and so the demand is there that lets 3rd party groups seek a financial opportunity. So yes the game model does create the demand and opportunity. If purchasing crystals did not create an advantage there would be no opportunity for these illegal transactions. Simple supply and demand formula. No this game was not the first but yet provided another opportunity for those outside vendors. CG did their part by monitoring it and catching them. So I applaud them for it but the model of the game by design created it which is why they have to monitor it because of the model and chance for exploitation by those seeking to gain both in game and out of game.
In regards to shard chats I have no agenda because I do not refresh in arena or try to be competitive. I was only pointing out even though not illegal it is still unethical as I do not believe the game was designed with it in mind. But again not the first game to experience this.
The issues you call out about "the environment" that creates the "need" to cheat can be said about anything that cheats others and is so common that it's irrelevant. The environment is not the issue. The "perceived" need is the issue, and the general unscrupulous behavior some people have to get what they want, when they want it. Again, you're argument comes close to giving a pass to cheaters because somehow you come close to saying it's kinda Cg's fault for creating the environment and the need to cheat. And you come very close to saying that the cheater has no choice but to cheat and so is somehow free of guilt? Now we come full circle to my initial response to you, which still stands. And having gone full circle, this discussion is over.
Please don't try to minimize cheating.
Please don't try to blame CG for creating the environment to cheat.
Please don't try to blame CG for creating the need to cheat.
If you want to discuss shard chats, you are more than welcome to create your own post on another board and stop bringing it up here.
Please stick to the topic of cheating that many in the community come to this thread to learn about what CG is doing to stop cheating.
