This update is horrible on so many levels

Hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. Where to begin?
We lost 6000+ Guild tokens/week
We lost at least 150+ purple gear pieces with a decent possibility of fully crafted pieces/week
We lost 30+ gold gear with a decent chance of a fully crafted gear/week.
In total the current raid system (where you buy what you want) doesn't even compare to the old one in terms of rewards.
Even if half the random gear was excess it was still useful for the scavenger.
If you look at what we used to get, and what we could get now, I'd say we're getting less than 50%. This is the worst update ever.
Progress is super slow as is, and with this update it will be even worse. If you do the conversion rates you'll see it for yourself.
The new Raid doesn't even worth launching if you can't get to crate five at the very least. And being faction specific the majority of people can't even participate, or put in much damage.
In my opinion this is by far the biggest fail to date, that doesn't benefit the players at all, if anything it takes a ton of resources from us.
Another way of forcing people to whale if they want to progress. Very disappointing.

spend more of your time scrolling through endless shop pages for nothing.
I don't need to see the refresh. If you do the math you'll clearly see that you can't purchase a fraction of the gear you used to get from 3 raids, plus 6k guild tokens, plus credits. Plus MK1 and MK2. The difference is extremely noticeable.
I used to get fully crafted G12 at least every 3rd raid finishing in top 10, plus ATT, plus Pit, Plus Guild tokens from all 3, plus credits from all 3, plus shards from all 3.
See the difference? Now I'll get a lousy 8475 MK1 and 4000 MK2 it doesn't quite compare.
The items are at least several times the price they should be, we lost a few million credits per week, we lost GET from cpit - even that could get you some kyrotech.
I can bet, that the number will be even worse, when we will launch it and see how much dmg we can really do.
The raid overhaul is a spit in the face.
You go in, shoot shoot shoot, it sudden stop when you reached the max score, it doesn't need any plan, no fun, no challenge, no need to retry for higher score.... OMG it's boring. What you need is to gear up your teams... nice CG
They said that their intention is to make faction specific raids at a higher pace. So what May have no use inside the Krayt raid now, could be amazing in the next; that is if they actually follow through with their expected several raids to be released.
However the cut in rewards is inexcusable and the devs saying that we are getting the same rewards as before just isn’t true. @CG_Tusken_Meathead can you please have someone from there show how we are getting the same rewards as before?
I dont care what will be after next 6 months..or 9...now and for next months my teams are worthless...i can do with a guild hstr and all players will just put team make auto and forget about raids, one player can make solo and thats it....
Krayt we can also make auto play...tried that, was great play expierience....hahaha
What did the players lose?
(2) May the Fourth title: I thought we were going to get the "Survivor" title as mentioned in the last Road Ahead post? What happened to that? I was super excited just for the title.
Thank you for the rewards that were given away during this week, nonetheless, I highly appreciate it!
Many had their fleet payouts at around that time.
Didn't think you could ruin the game any more, but look at ya go! Merry StarWars day...

My only real GL goals are Jedi Master Kenobi and Lord Vader.
One it’s another complete grind for lack luster rewards. And unlike HSith or CPIT, where I could choose when to participate, I now have to or my whole guild is negatively effected.
Two the rewards aren’t nearly even, they are massively dialed back.
Three - why three days for the event? You can only use like 8 teams, if you have every character eligible, what’s the point of having this event last so long?
Four the reward track has many impossible tiers. Maybe I’m wrong? But I’d bet there is a zero percent chance any guild comes close to then 520m crate. I’m in a rather large guild and I’d estimate were on pace for one the 200m ones.
So this update is a boring raid where you have to fight the same battle over and over. Significantly decreased player rewards.
I give you a big fat F.
I see, good luck on your goals! I hope you get them soon too!
For Lord Vader, yes, I planned him as first GL despite being the hardest in gearing. But I am almost done with it too now, I am just worried how long will the R8 take. Maybe buying aeromagnifiers is the only option looking at how far gated they are in the new raid.
Hot mess - rolling out a major (and clearly risky) change in middle of a week-long territory battle that 50 people in each guild have invested hours in, only to not be able to log in and deploy, and miss key rewards.
Inside a dumpster fire: multiple full-on outages, can't log into the game.
Inside a train wreck: rewards promised for new raid was supposed to equal total of all the 4 raids its repalcing put together. Rewards seem to be comparable to sith raid only (worse than getting 1st place in sith raid, but better than getting 11th place anyway), but ignoring CPIT, and all other outputs. And even for a not-quite-elite-but-still very competitive level guild (450MGP) probably better to not do the new raid - get more rewads from the sith raid level than the new one.
So even if they didn't mess up the actual rollout six ways to Sunday, think people would still be highly disappointed.
