    Still no official response. And no replies to my message to customer 'support'.

    Message received loud and clear: Apple users, no matter how much they spend, are not and cannot be VIPs ... not unless you're part of the Old Boys club of Android.

    Poor.

    I can't even FIND any customer support contact information. No contact info on their website. If I had a way to send them an email or contact customer support directly, I would have.

    In-game: Click settings (cog, upper left) then Help. Brings you to the EA help area for this game.

    The biggest problem with this debacle is the precedent it created. Now the game is open to giveaways to largest bidders and EA/CG will take it regardless of game balance. This is especially concerning to whales who spend money on the game and at any moment can get knock down a notch based on OS or any other arbitrary reason.

    Things could easily flip around and Apple users could get an exclusive thats even more unfair than this event. And after that Android could get an exclusive even more ridiculous than that. K2 is yet to be seen as a 'game changer' but the next exclusive could be. And the one after that could be even worse. Is this the path we really want EA/CG to take us down? Platform based exclusives and rewards just need to end.

    @Snork_Solo K2 isn't getting a ship, that image was from a developer's account which has everything available
    Also those that are still working on their rebels probably don't have a squad that's strong enough to beat the bonus tier for K2, so they'll have to refresh with crystals if they want that last star
    It also remains to be seen whether K2 will even make it onto top rebel and droid squads without sacrificing some other essential character

    if someone has been focusing on others than rebels dosen't mean they can't beat a tier.....

    Regardless of how meta the new toon is, it does give an advantage that some don't have because of a phone. You can choose to spend money, you can choose to be in certain guilds and earn Han from Pit raids and GK from Tank raids. Those are advantages you can choose.

    I doubt there would be 51 pages of people complaining about it if it was a 30 day early release, like most games and DLC content, or here is the exclusive for iOS users. But the lack of communication on it only increases people's frustration.

    Plus, if there are more android only toons coming I'm sure it will run more people off. It isn't like 1 game would make iPhone users switch to an android. Especially without the ability of carrying your profile. I would think it would do tha opposite and more people would go the hacking route. Which would cause even more negative impact.

    Also the fact that they don't mention anything about the event at all in the last update notes.
    I think a lot IOS users who don't use the forums dosen't know how they are treated

    If you are in a Guild, you know how you are being treated as you watch teammate after teammate unlock and level up a character you have no access to. It leaves a very bitter taste in your mouth—almost like someone chewed up an orange peel and spit it directly into your mouth.

    Rofl all those crying apple boys, it's so sad. It's Android exclusive and Apple will get something later. I'm curious to see Android users will post 51 pages of text crying like it's the end of the world. There is nothing unfair and a fair playing field is something between your ears.

    The time people spend in this topic is cringeworthy..

    @CronozNL What's really cringeworthy is the amazing empathy people like you are showing to those who are really feeling left out and hurt after investing substantial amounts of time and energy (and in many cases $$) ... it just warms the cockles of heart to see how empathetic and sportsmanlike you are. If Apple (which I use) got an exclusive like this it would be just as wrong. (And since you've also taken the time to contribute your own rosy feelings to this megathread, it's rather hypocritical of you to smugly criticize others for sharing theirs).

    Just saying most people with 7* rebels have a solid roster, and those that don't are probably lacking in strong characters overall

    Too much over reacting on the subject. There will be exclusive events for both sides Android and iOS. This time it's Andriod, next time is iOS, then the Andriod people will be on the fourms. It is what it is.

    "Spoiler alert". iOS owners will only get to see 4/5th of the new movie. But don't blame Disney blame Apple. That's capitalism!!

    As an IOS player I guarantee you I will react the same if I'm ever the beneficiary of an exclusive offer. Because it's bad for the game and I have a shred of empathy. It's unbelievable how Android players are reacting now that they have their toys.

    Really? I've been playing this game for over 6 months and I've never seen an iOS-only event. I believe there were some in the dark ages...

    100%. The platform based exclusives need to end. It ruins the integrity of the game. It lowers consumer confidence in this product. Lower confidence leads to apathy towards this game.

    I dont understand where everybody has gotten the statistic that 50%(half) of swgoh players are IOS. When the market share for the last few years shows IOS below 20%.

    I'm not sure if this is a worldwide promotion or just the US. If it's the US, it's close enough to half that we might as well say half.

    Worldwide is a very different story though.
