Grand Arena Participation Gripe
Bit of a SWGOH old timer here. Not hating the global system entirely, but also not loving this participation system. I wish I could preset a team ahead of time before GA event starts, let my defense go live and only fight if I feel like it without being punished into losing the base crystal payout. Things are busy, I got stuff to do. Just let me chill -_-

Conversely, is it too much for the devs to want a bare minimum of participation from their players? It takes literally 2 minutes to log participation. Bare minimum. You’re still asking for crystals for doing absolutely nothing.
If you're already in there looking at your opponent's thousands of dollars worth of character builds, just click one add 5 characters and attack. Lose, collect your 10 banners and you're done. that part would take far less than 2 minutes. Were you not playing regular arena or fleet arena on a daily basis either so as not to see other people's expensive teams?
Right, so you want rewards for doing nothing in a mode that’s designed to essentially punish non-participants. Got it. Do you want GL shards for not doing the event, too? Same idea, right?
Well well, this has turned into an interesting guilt trip now hasn't it? No, I just want the minimal crystals for being lazy on my personal non-team based involvement, that is all. Nothing else. I want SWGOH paid vacation days Kaus, that's what I want!
You can, you get crystals every day sent to your inbox. You don't need to do anything to get them, you just won't get the additional ones for the active GAC.
I know. I understand. You want something for nothing.
Um, you do get vacation days at work... don't you?
Okay, solid point, you do get something regardless. Your critique is the most fair so far. I just feel like setting a defense is still participation I didn't just leave it to the AI to set it for me.
Of course I do. A bunch. But I have to *actually* work to get them. They’re not free for doing nothing.
Cool cool cool. You do realize my whole request is to let me do work sometimes? I'm not saying I never want to actually battle. That is the fun of the game... gosh the forum is so much fun 😑
Huh, that is an interesting point, it really does take the competitive spirit out of once you know you've mathematically lost a match... Yeah, I just had a super busy day and didn't remember to jump in and make my attacks, the little "you didn't participate" was kind of a smack in the face since I did set my defense
I disagree. Before there was no point. Now you need to at least fight once or you're losing crystals.
Even when you knew you were going to lose, it was in your interest to clear as much as you could.
Now, there is absolutely no point in carrying on once you’ve done the bare minimum of attacking one team.
That's 3 days in the middle you can do absolutely nothing. Hey, you can even auto set day one and just use 2min any two days on the week to do two attacks.
This is incorrect. If you do nothing on day 4 you won’t earn the crystals for losing that match because you didn’t attack.
In the last GAC I didn't even bother reaching aurodium. The crystal/effort ratio was not worth it for me.
For some, battling is also the fun of the forums.
You want to do less work than required for full (albeit minimum) rewards. You’re asking to be paid for 40 hours of work but only punching in for 30.
Want to take a break? Take a break. But don’t expect to be paid for your lack of participation.
Anyone interested in growing their roster would have seen the point in scoring banners.
Oh gosh you're back, you doooooo realize that is exactly how vacation days work for the average working arrangement don't you? You work most of the days and then you get a few freebies. I don't think my request is particularly offensive 😐
So if I uninstall the game I should get paid for all my hard work? ...now we are making some progress! O_o
