Are you happy with the direction this game is going?

I am just curious because the most fun I had with this game was in January after they had largely fixed most bugs from release. Ever since then I feel like every addition to this game has been in the interest of those who pay a lot of money, or have been met with largely negative responses by the community (most of which was ignored by devs). Please remember this is just my opinion, try to keep hostilities to a minimum.

Or the Rancor Raid strategy bundle sigh... I can by a AAA game for that kind of money.
It was a fun playing December until a week or two ago and things just seemed to keep sliding down, prices relatively go up and incentives to buy stuff died, the precraft debacle (and I pre crafted 7 or 8 items) and lack of communication has blown it in my opinion.
Hopefully I teach myself to stop reading here, my 30+ years of love of all things star wars makes it hard to though haha
if you want to spend that kind of money would you like to purchase the premium Tau_Lambda bundle? When you buy the bundle you get the knowledge that you are helping Tau_Lambda through university. If you spend $400 you gain an exclusive letter from Tau_Lambda thanking you for paying a months rent at his house. Haha. Just joking. But this is one of the reasons why I'm having trouble sticking to this game. To stay competitive and gear your team you have to spend crystals.
Ya I really wish I could play around with different team comps, but as f2p I only have enough resources to barely keep up with my main team.
Lots of f2p whiners here don't want to pay $10 to buy a furnace and want to play free forever on a server that costs money to maintain and staff to feed. I wish these whiners will go because they don't support the game financially which is the most important thing. What good do they bring to this community?
I bought the recent rg pack. 50 rg shards was just too good to pass up. it 7* mine
Wise purchase. I was considering that pack, as it would take me halfway to 7* if I got character drop too
Agreed. If they came out with just a few character packs between, let's say, $5 to $15 I'm sure they'd actually do well. I'm not paying $55.00 for easily farmable characters, although RG was tempting since I have him close to 5* and the 40 shards would bump me up to 5* and beyond since I can't get to the Cantina node yet.
It's not A furnace. It's dozens of these items. There are still several tiers of gear ahead, each needing multiples, and everyone has dozens of characters that will need these. Why are people so short sighted and keep presenting this as if it's a single time purchase?
I explain, the only reason I'm on a guild is for Neuro IX - X and Lens X, and I see that rewards It's only for the 3 better player on the raid (we try tier V). So why I do this raid? I CAN'T be on the top 3, some people of my guild are better than me. So I'm only here for help us to farm there character? I'm not ok with that...
I know i'ts selfish but at first I like this game because there are no interaction with other player (only 5 battle in arena). I'm farm my toon alone, and that will be ok for me.
So now I have my toon blocked to the gear level 8 or 9 and I can do nothing to change that ...
I see some people can buy in a shop the complete gear like furnace, I never see that but if the gear cost is 1400 crystals (for me more of 10€), I don't pay that I'm not crazy EA.
This is my point of view, I start to play in December.
PS : I'm french, may be I do some grammar mistake, I wrote this quickly without use a translator, please apologies me for that.
Ive been playing since release and still havent spent enough to unlock Aurodiums ($200). I'm consistently in the top 20 on my shard and I was #1 at the payout just gone. With anywhere between 400-600 crystals a day I have more than enough IMO to compete with someone whos spent thousands. As the man said above - spend wisely. More importantly its about having patience to wait for a bargain or to spend when you need to - not have a child like mindset of 'NOW NOW NOW!!'
As for Guild Rewards, again dont have an issue. Currently sitting in top 10 and more than happy to take that box. Sure top 3 would be nice but those guys have probably paid a fortune (supporting the game, feeding the staff etc) and as a by-product of recent changes are stuck (like all of us) with no gear if they didnt have the hindsight to precraft. To be honest, anyone who says its skewed towards whales is having a laugh - its about the composition of your team and how much burst dps you do. A f2p person running a balanced squad is gonna hit for more than a whale running RG and a Poggle.
Games fine as it is and the track its on looks good. Especially when they get round to ships. Also, well done Devs for fixing Old Ben's leader ability (Finally!)
That's not selfish at all. You put in an effort and you expect a reward, even if it's a smaller one. I'd would be fine if the top person got a complete piece, the next 2 guys got half way there or so, and then it kept scaling down to maybe even 1 piece for the last place. At least this way everyone would be making progress. But right now you have 47 people who are subsidizing 3 and are not getting anything in return.
This is my biggest complaint. I like all the additions (Raids, Guilds, Events) but the fact that some things are simply out of reach EVEN IF YOU GRIND, seems really cheap and insulting. I'm not F2P, and it's still frustrating.

This. All day.
EA could've easily had me for another $100 if their prices were even remotely reasonable, but they're not so I'll sit on my money.
If EA wants to make this game a boutique game for whales only, good luck with that.
Since the update, their daily revenue has doubled (https://thinkgaming.com/app-sales-data/68737/star-warstm-galaxy-of-heroes/). And that's just on iOS. Not sure they care about your $100.
That's the problem. They don't care about the players only the revenue.
I think that's got more to do with the sale and the excitement around guilds which has dropped off sharply already.
The whales are the ones rocking world firsts and the most upset about the raid rewards and the structure of rewards in general. If things don't change you can expect that number to drop at least 60% in a week or two.
