So at the start of this year, they decided, silently (afaik not announced), to dramatically lower the frequency to Credit Heists,not cool that $$ is SO needed!
Just look at the pattern. Before the start of the year every 5 - 12 days consistently, since Jan 1, every 12 - 15 days consistently and now this is the longest delay yet, it will be an 18 day gap when we finally get it on Mar 30. In fact, this might be the first time that a credit heist was skipped, we had training droid smuggling 12 days ago and always we have credit heist follow it before another droid event, not this time, we have another training droid event coming before the next credit heist so essentially they skipped one credit heist completely wow.

-minor increase to profits at expense of good will
-level cap increase coming soon (you have to wait for the customary WE ARE NOT raising the level cap any time soon post) then you know it's coming JUST LIKE LAST TIME
- for whatever reason the server close is near and it's milk for everything you can time
- they feel there are too many credits in the game AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH oh that's a big lol right there
2nd is the best we can hope for i guess as for reasons why
You make that much from GW in a week. You'll make more from GW in between credit heists than you will from the heists.

I mean, that was 11/2017...a heads up that they were looking at a change for 1/2019, a full year plus after that first announcement, would have been helpful so we could plan accordingly. Just another mark on the board for poor communication...
But is it poor communication? I think it's quite the opposite. They declared it over a year ago...
“Hey guys, we might change something down the line”
1 year 2 months of status quo

They announced a plan, and followed that plan, they are not deviating from the current plan as stated. Not sure why they would have to update that they are following the plan they stated.
Because after 14 months of gathered evidence it appeared that there was still a pattern that they’d adhere to, albeit different than pre-11/2017, and then the post-01/2019 there was a dramatic shift.
Does it still fit with what they announced in 11/2017? Sure. Is it good community management to make such a dramatic shift without at least reminding the community of or restating the policy (especially since some people likely weren’t even here in 11/2017)? Absolutely not.
So, sure, they’re adhering to what they said. That doesn’t make it good practice or good communication. I feel like that should be called out when we see it. Over-communicating is almost always better in situations like this. They have someone whose *sole job* is communicating with the community. I’m challenging them to try to do better.
Wow, really? It's called communication. Don't we have a community manager for that stuff? Why don't they let him keep us informed? You're citing as evidence a post that said they would change the pace, but they didn't drastically change the pace for another 12 months. You'd think they could have said hey remember when we said we'd do this? We're doing it now.
If they actually changed the pace to be so drastically bad back then, then additional communication wouldn't have been necessary. 12 months then doing it requires a courtesy followup.
Maybe for mid to end game players, this hamstrings any new or newer players. Good that they havent released many nee chatacters, but there are still 100s of them.

Seconded. Because I’m definitely hurting right now, and have never been “saturated”.
This x 100. I am sure people with 2.5 - 3 million GP are in MUCH less need of credits, vs those < 2.5mil GP.
Yes p*ssed about this as well, I had a break from the game and am now penalized, others had nice 20 shard pulls per month and we are stuck with a lousy 10 now and will take forever to catch those who had the good wave
my biggest gripe ARE the crap events that give nothing but crap mods. POINTLESS / WASTE OF TIME!
This....
Also why are 4dot mods in the mod store
They did communicate. Nothing has changed from what they have communicated.
they didn't change anything, they stated the rate would be linked to the release rate, during that time we had a crazy release rate. we have seen a lower release rate, and a more spread out timing for the heist. seems to be doing exactly what they said.
