"Easier for players to reach higher gear tiers”

Obviously, CG has forgotten about all that stuff they have said recently about making gearing up characters easier.
They have stated pretty much the same thing several times here on the forums, not wasting more of my time looking for those posts by CG.
In fact, they have done the exact opposite by putting GAS shards in the Guild Event Store. It will take most players 4-5 months to get the shards needed to take him to 7*. That’s a whole lot of gear players will miss out on.
Such a steep investment for a just a measly 5* unlock..... I can totally understand those players who have walked away from the game over recent developments. G13, then g14 (Relics), and now a very steep unlock for a whopping 5* character. A character at 5* who isn’t viable, unlike Malek.
You guys really need to step up your game. How about following through on what you tell your players/customers. How about showing some appreciation for your customers who pay your bills. This event was a slap in the face to your veteran players.

Was just thinking the same thing. At this point I'm doubting that it's ever going to happen. Been a bit since they announced it as well, so I think people are justified in being upset.
CG robbed us of the most important store for gear for many many months all while a new movie is 2 months away from release, bringing potentially half a dozen or more new characters to the game, including more legendaries. I wonder how these decisions come to pass, why they are allowed to say one thing and do the opposite and get away with it every time.
I am speechless...
Care to chime in on why the promise of reaching higher gear levels faster has gone unfulfilled? I think we’d like to know why you guys about-faced on that one
One thing I've noticed that this year all goodwill gestures have ended. Historically compensation for errors was generous and frequent. Not all releases were cash grabs.
CG has been buring up all the remaining goodwill left in the community.
For the love of god CG.
1. Reduce Cantina costs to 50 energy refresh
2. Put stun guns in the weekly challenge
3. Add a new tier for all of the challenges for slightly increased rewards
These small changes would generate a whole load of goodwill for you to burn in the next six months.
I do think CG crossed the line at some point and badly hurt the golden goose. It’s now slowly dying...
I will likely get Malak and it’ll be the same way. Either I buy the gear to gear him or I buy the shards to rank him up.
Relics were September. GAS was October. Let's not convolute the issue. September was also a month where there were 3-4 different arena teams in the top 10. I don't think that's a coincidence. People don't mind supporting (paying) when they feel like they have options.
In game guild: TNR Uprising
I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help

I’m more concerned with the trend in broken mechanics. This all started with Thrawn, then Traya, then JKR, then Malak, now GAS. All of these toons restrict their opponents ability to play, which is why people get upset. CLS and JTR are perfect examples of good releases in my my opinion, they don’t control and restrict the battlefield in the same way the others do. Giving GAS abilities that ensure victory against certain toons is bad for business. There absolutely should be META teams, just not pre-determined METAs. But rather than one-upping the last META, they should nerf METAs with game breaking mechanics and give the new teams more broad and useful kits. At this rate CG will run out of options to keep the rest of the game alive.
The game will slowly become a Sith...there can be only two teams at a time (current and previous META).
Frankly I'm just tired of being mad at CG. They are going to do everything for the almighty dollar and anyone who thinks otherwise is just fooling themselves and setting themselves up for disappointment.
Expect the absolute worst case from CG/EA and you can't get disappointed!
So true. For awhile I believed they were fellow SW fans doing their best to make a great SW game. Not anymore. EA corrupts everything it touches.
Amazing how CG never makes it easy to gear characters if you completely ignore the multiple ways they make it easy to gear characters in one stroke in favor of focusing on the one way they make it a little harder.
Fact of the matter is CG's consistently added more sources of stuff to the game over the years, but the playerbase laser focuses on the small setbacks.
You can’t buy Geo Soldier shards for GET only GAS shards. Please use the proper acronym.
Now I feel bad for not using GOK all these years. I wonder how people understood me.
