Tell us EXACTLY what we NEED
...to unlock the new Luke. Clear, concise communication please, no gifs or empty cute words. Speculation, rumors etc. will lead to the same travesty as the Thrawn / Phoenix ordeal. I'm sure you'd want to avoid that, won't you?

this isn't a bad communication issue at all, they simply don't want us to know. Also because it obviously makes them less money if they give advance notice.
Funny. I don't recall the part where he said he deserved to be handed anything. It seems like he was asking that we know where to direct our efforts so that we can put in the work ourselves. That would be nice.
Anyway spenders will spend, even if they tell you at last minute what toons to farm.
Lmao
I agree with this. Part of the game strategy is anticipating reworks, new metas, new character requirements etc.
I've spent a fair amount of fleet shipments 7 starring the useless GG in anticipation of a rework down the line. I've made sure I have a full jedi team in anticipation that they unlock luke (although that doesn't seem it will be the case after all).
Just part of the game that rewards you for making smart decisions. not a comms problem. a comms problem is not either syncing double drops or giving non USA players any pre warning and they miss out on a days worth.
I don't think he asked, seems more like an order...
operative word being "could". I would be lying if i said i'm 100% sure that it won't increase revenue if they told us in advance, but i think it won't. Judging by the past decisions ea/cg have made they don't think that either, or they are not telling us to please players like mysef who don't want everyone to know, wich i highly doubt
If they told us as far enough in advance that f2p players wouldn't complain about the short notice, there probably won't be any reason to spend in the first place.
Yes, I asked sternly, because myself, among many others, are tired of being led on with poor communication and little game direction. Some of us spend money, and a lot of money. We'd like to know where would be best to put that investment -- better yet, it could be more than money (time, strategy etc.) instead of getting frustrated and using the fear-of-falling-behind method of spending.
Spending for fun makes us want to spend more. Spending out of fear wears down on you.
Having an idea of planning is legitimate. Help us; give us some solid direction. The mystery veil method has clearly had an enormous backlash. Giving some precise communication about what we should do can avoid a lot of these unnecessary issues. Dropping news and details 1-2 weeks before farm time about exactly what you need is simply a vicious, unnecessary method.
I see both sides of the coin. Still, some forewarning can only help. To balance the two, it doesn't have to be immediately but it should still be in a timely fashion and not like Thrawn - some 2 weeks in advance. That isn't fun spending.
Was it his First Order, or his 66th one?
Seriously though, I just missed out on thrawn as my phone went in for repair so I lost a whole week of double-drops, flash events and whatever else was going on. It's no biggie, I'll get him next time. Same with Luke, if I don't have enough to get him this time I will next time. Got Yoda on 2nd or 3rd time round, got Palpie 2nd time round. It's a game, it's not actually that important in the grand scheme.
It's not beneficial to spread yourself so thin and phoenix not being available and widely used prior to the event was the problem

I have never chased the meta, though for a nice moment when B2 debuted the meta chased me for a while, but I have a ton of characters that I've been farming since I started playing (My roster is on whatever the site is, pretty sure it's the same name I use here) and have earned.
So why should I be punished because you made a choice that I didn't? Am I going to get a free General Kenobi because I made a choice you didn't? How's that fair?
Except for GK (guild not quite ready to do HAAT), I have very toon unlocked. And toons which are available from LS/DS nodes only I gradually work on (cantina toons obviously can tier up much faster so I defer those) so that even e.g. Hoth Rebel Soldier is by now at 6* halfway to 7. If one focuses only on e.g. gearing up your best toons, your roster will be much more limited, your arena squad will be slightly better, but not by much.
What about me???
