Suggestion - Keep Assault Battles 2 Days
I'm not sure what the motive is to move it back to 1 day, but there are stronger reasons to keep it at 2 days:
1. I guarantee across the board you saw increased spending during this period. This is because having double the assault battles incentivized players across the board to build out teams to make sure they can complete these. This was the case with me and members in my guild.
2. You talked about "gear crunch". Was this not a method for alleviating this? For example, a lot of these new marquee characters require much more kyrotech, arguable on par with GLs. Without ABs running 2 days, that divide becomes even larger and just adds to the issue. Without ABs, I will never gear up any of these recent characters before I tackle others that won't give me a headache attempting to gear.
3. You talked about "daily content". Unlike galactic challenges which I spend probably 10 minutes to an hour on twice a week, this certainly delivered far more "content" even if it was repurposed content on a consistent basis. That's like the nail on the head here.
4. Finally, not that anyone besides Doja seemingly cares at CG (in fact I wouldn't be surprised if this post is censored like my last 2 were? Reddit is where the actual community resides in my opinion), but this won't bode well for community sentiment. Think about it: You pushed ABs to 2 days without any notification, which the community praised. Many thought it was a holiday treat, but that was of course speculation. After it lasted longer, many thought it was an accident/laziness since there was no announcement and others thought it was a good move. And then pulling it back to 1 day without an announcement when many (like myself) started to retrofit there roster to match up with ABs, will not bode well.
*As far as my personal comments in reason 4, I know Doja is an ear and a mouth to the community and can only say so much, which is better than it was before. But, I guess I just wish I understood what is going on: Time after time, the decision making is constantly pulling things away and killing the community while just adding new shiny toys for people to try and get. Honestly, the only arguably good decision/move that's happened recently was moving GCs to twice a week, but the reason it's arguable is because the prizes were stripped down and the feats every other GC were made impossible to complete by 99% of the community by requiring new geared marquees. This game is ran more like a casino instead of the core values of what a game is supposed to be - fun.
