I feel whatever is coming next is going to be a lose-lose situation for the game (A positive post)

Sorry for the longish post.
So after reading the forum, I don't know how the Devs are going to be able to release something without making a portion of the population upset and threatening to quit. Yes, I wish there was more communication from the devs, especially about the new game mode when they didn't do it on the EA live deal, but what new event could they make without it frustrating the fan base?
Think about it, after the Thrawn event, most of the forum was upset that they had to farm phoenix and that it was "too soon of a notice." I mean, most end game players should have been able to at least unlock him at 5* and take the week or week and half AT MOST to slightly upgrade phoenix to lvl 65 g7, f2p or not in order to just unlock him. I mean my thought was great for f2p players so they could use him in Arena, and give the p2p players the bonus of using him for raids. I think that is a great set up. But the forums killed the devs for this move and it only took a week out of your normal schedule!
So basically my thought is, no matter what happens, people are going to be upset about it:
- New Raid - People will complain like HAAT and that it is too hard and should be nerfed (I'm talking heroic, as normal should have been nerfed). If it is a ships raid, THEN NO DOUBT people will complain saying, "Oh you made ships so unimportant for so long, didn't give us enough opportunities to farm them, I didn't farm my ships high enough! Your fault devs!"
- New legendary character (i.e. Jedi Luke) - It will be the R2 complaint (not hard enough, now everyone has him) or Thrawn (don't make me farm characters I hate/don't have)
- New game mode - from the leaked info, it looks like we may be battling each other in guilds or AI, but it looks like there will be a significant trial/error phase. I don't see people being happy about it right away due to needing to have very deep rosters and experience.
The list can go on and on, but am I wrong on this? Am I wrong to think people are expecting too much and should just enjoy the grind at times. Yes, I think there needs to be a new game mode, a ships cantina, and more communication where they say something weekly, but I just also think that the player base has been given a lot, especially the f2p, and need to just be patient with the devs and everything moving forward

Ignore them, focus on qualitative feedback. Folks who quit because optional content wasn't optional enough are addition by subtraction.
Yeah reaching g10 does suck, but I don't see that coming unless they raise the gear level to 12
I personally would love to see any of those mentioned 3 options.
And that is the tough part that I hope people understand. I actually took a bit of a break from the game, and when I came back, I was at a huge disadvantage, especially in a December 2015 shard. I was in the #1000 in arena, I wasn't close to having even a good Rancor roster. If you quit, you will actually be more mad at yourself because the devs will come out with something eventually that you enjoy and then you are even more discouraged from the game
^_^
And I get this that people will complain, I have had posts similar to this in the past, but I just really want players to stop and think and just remember to enjoy the game as much as they can, especially with all the hard work they put in to having an awesome roster. Also because we all love Star Wars and definitely a great game to play IMO
Hahaha did not even cross my mind, that was awesome....
with that username i thought you'd enjoy that vid haha. Not calling you an a hool btw, it's just an hilarious scene.
(sorry, that was off topic)
Anyway, I agree with you.
If it's a new "regular" raid I also think it'd be ridiculous for people to complain. Some guilds have mastered HAAT and are ready to move on. Most wouldn't be ready for sure though, and that's where the complainers come in. Level cap will probably be increased before this happens though. if it's a ship raid where you need 7-star ships that would be a little bit upsetting. They have been unimportant for a long time and I'd like to see some sort of ship PVE game mode like LS/DS battles before this happens.
People are people, will complain about anything. I complain about stuff daily, mainly chaze, because I think that's something the devs truly messed up on. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Calling it a lose-lose is a bit harsh, though I get where you're coming from. Personally, I just want to see something new and the sense I get from my guild and the forums is that that's what most other players want.
comments like mine dont help, but i didn't start it.
I think the developers have done a great job. I like the rotation of characters into F2P rotation. The P2P players help make that possible. If it wasn't for them, EA wouldn't make money. No money, no game. The set up EA has with this game is better than any other similar game.
There's things that could use a little tweaking. Drop rates could be improved somewhat. A way to trade in gear or ability mats for higher level gear and abilities.
All in all, the players should stop complaining and enjoy the game. Be thankful to the devs and EA for putting out a GREAT and FUN game!
Just my thoughts.
There is so much card collection like apps, what is a status of power creep, you can just get one korean game, then you sure know what is "power creep", also the real meaning of GRIND, it is a living dictionary, man. Even for case like chaze, better express your opinion once and nicely than screeching repeatly, making opinion became harassment, any living things tend to avoid constant harassment.
And for arena complains.
Really.
"no use gunz cos gunz boring bruh use nife 1 on 1."
Please.

(Not that I necessarily agree they need forgiving from me, but I agree with the rest.)
As for content in this game? People who hate the new content the most will come to terms and accept it. People may have been mad about the way R2 was handled (I didn't see those complaints, but I don't dispute there surely were some), but most have likely moved on and only feel the need to complain about him again when they lose in Arena or GW against him.
In short, most things may seem ill-received by the very vocal minority (which this entire forum could be considered), but for the most part more content will probably translate into more profit overall.
