Please unlock the Store in the GvG Beta client

It's already possible to get unlimited Crystals and Credits.
Kozi confirmed that these methods can be used as much as we want.

Having the Store locked isn't serving any purpose right now. I guess it was added to prevent players from getting Crystals and packs for free, but considering it's happening anyway, might as well make it official and easier to use.

Tagging @CG_RyDiggs, hoping for an answer.
That would make the whole thing way more fun.

For this Beta we closed down the Store and limited players to some grind/purchase cycles, as we didn't want players focused on growing their accounts more than the Territory Wars.

Future Betas 'may' have the Store open. We'll see if/when another open beta is offered up to the community.

Thank you VERY much for the feedback and support!

Thank you for the answer @CG_RyDiggs. Appreciate the communication around the Beta.

For future iterations, you might want to either lock down Shipments so people can't purchase anything, or open the Store completely (Maybe remove any sensitive pack in case you're afraid to disclose the drop rates).

What we have right now is rather weird: We can purchase Crystals and Credits, but the process to do so is complicated and very grindy (especially for Credits). We also have no way to acquire Training Droids.

Most people want to get as much as they can out of the Beta, which means they will try to strengthen their roster as much as possible, and will therefore have to spend a lot of time buying gear, mods, credits and refreshing stores. It's rather tedious to do, but they feel like they will be missing out if they don't.
This is particularly true since in TW, Defensive teams cannot be used in Offense, so you need multiple teams.

If we had access to Galactic gear packs and Chromiums/Fleet packs, it would make things easier. An additional way to acquire ability mats would also be great.

Basically make the glass completely empty or completely full, don't get stuck in the middle.

Great feedback, and we're definitely learning as we watch how you all play and interact.

Tks!
