Ok CG now that your new conquest is done and yes it’s more difficult. When are you going to open up relic 8 to smaller guilds who are not doing c-pit (250mil and lower). You locked out a big portion of the player base from ship meta and the new characters. This is getting a little ridiculous frankly! Give your player base a path for relic8 to play your game and want to spend to gear the toons please!!!!
Even if you give 1 relic8 mat in daily shipments it will take forever but it’s a path. With no path you are really breaking up guilds who want to work to beat c-pit and play together but so many high toons/ ships now need relic8 that a big part of the game is now becoming locked out from these players. Please give the smaller guilds a path!

Since the supply of guilds is way bigger than demand it has become impossible to recruit new members who are in line with the the average Guild GP. So with every bigger player leaving because they need these R8 mats, you won‘t get a comparable replacement. So smaller guilds shrink, which in turn leads to more players leaving again.
That is becoming a doom loop which is nearly impossible to break.
Just be fair and make it accesible for everyone. The big guilds/players can stil get more but just don’t skip the players with lower rosters and even average rosters.
They are always trying to push development, and even to some extent push guilds to not carry newer players or have big fish swimming in the small pond (generally speaking).
They want competitive guilds to feel like they are getting an advantage for their "work", and while younger guilds can be competitive, they still have some growing to do to get to end game stuff.
It really seems like r8, and I'm guessing r9 at this point are really geared towards progressing late mid game players. With Conquest and CRancor, average GP around the 5M mark should be getting there in both cases. At this point I don't see them opening it up much below that mark.
They path they are pushing is development. This is a long game, with many milestones along the way. This one seems to have been curated into place, but not something you have to pay to get to.
Not that it's normal, but the lowest GP for max crate in Conquest I have seen posted was under 5m.
You dont need max crate to get r8 materials, so there is a way for players to get it without CRancor, and second crate is achievable below 6M GP. Honestly GP is less of a consideration that the teams and crystals someone has. Not that everyone will have everything "just right", by any means.
That is a path, and the GP for CRancor will keep going down as players learn and build the right teams to make it happen.
I am not trying to say they shouldn't, I am just pointing out that they seem to have worked very focused on the plan we are seeing that has this line in roughly the same place on those events and that may be here to stay. Also, this line isnt exact or written in stone, so there are edge cases. All in all this seems to be the general layout they want.
The game is a long walk, this is not likely to change.
