Amidst a sea of negativity these past few weeks, I would just like to post my appreciation for all the hard work and dedication countless people have put into making this game.
Without people like you, the majority of the forum would have nothing to complain about.
I, for one, look forward to any and all new content you guys roll out in the future. Don't let the trolls in the forums distract you guys from your vision of what the game could be.
May the force be with you.

This game is fantastic, and I know that I will continue to play this game for a long while to come. It's sad to see the amount of negativity present, but I feel this forum does not speak for the majority of players who also love and appreciate this game.
So thank you devs, and +1 op for a positive post.
If they ever released a GO version of this game
... never mind people hunting silly beasts in the middle of a highway...
We'd ALL be hunting
Artificial gaps being created and 3 precraft issues already set.
Ye the forum is just whining with no legit reason. Easy for people to say when they haven't spend a penny most likely.
I don't mind you being a fanboy but there have been many dodgy moves already which made a lot of players quit.
My guild leader quit and so did 10 others so far so clearly something is not going well and clearly most people are fed up with these shenanigans.
At the end of the day, they do alright. I didn't get bent all outa shape about it.
I've been playing this game since February, and have adapted my play style to suit each and every new update.
I understand that there are bugs in the game, I've learned to work around them.
Isn't that the whole point of gaming?
Challenge presented... now overcome it.
+1
- Deliver half **** content filled with bugs and glitches (be it intended or not, I believe it is/was intended)
- make people pay for more content they haven't asked for and frankly didn't want.
- Make balance and bug fixes not a priority, in fact let the players make the balance with mods.
Future doesn't look bright if gaming is heading this way.
I might be one of the folks that complain. Not so much these days than before but I too would like to say thanks for the hard work dev team, I know I might not say it often enough but your work is greatly appreciated!
Thanks once again!
It just not possible.
Keep on what you're doing devs. Us hardcore fans will appreciate it
Thanks for nerfing the mod drop rate into oblivion, which nobody asked for.
Thanks for doubling the mod levelling cost, which nobody asked for.
Thanks for locking mod challenges behind teams that nobody wants to level up.
Thanks for putting in additional paywalls and for the credit crunch.
Thanks for ignoring weeks of unanimous GW feedback, worsening the credit crunch.
Thanks for forging ahead and just doing what makes you money, leaving bugs untouched, to the detriment of everyone who plays the game.
Cheers!
I did adapt, with my wallet, as they intended. So if I pay for it, I have a right to complain about it.
And "neanderthal" - hehe... Okay.
Some just take it too far...

Myself and others
Do give alot of good feedback and ideas. But we don't like having our chain yanked as well.
See my series as well [Small Life Changes]
Yes, it takes months to earn credits to max a character. As well it should.
If everyone had all characters maxed, we'd all be screaming at the devs for new content.
You're not wrong. I didn't start out this way, all sore and bitter, I've been forged this way after realising the stark reality of how EA/CG run the game.
I can point to many well thought out feedback threads I wrote on various issues. For a time I felt such features were so obviously unbalanced that they would definitely get addressed once pointed out and with enough community support. How naive I was.
I've recently begun to realise that this forum is nothing more than an intentional punching bag, they keep this here for frustrated players to voice their angst and feel that they're not alone. Anger shared is anger halved, there's more chance to keep players hooked in this way.
Nothing raised on these forums actually gets fixed unless it benefits EA/CG monetarily. That's just a cold, hard fact that took me way too long to figure out. Every change they make to the game makes them more money. The game is designed to generate frustration resulting in a purchase to solve the latest problem.
Why do I still play it? I like the underlying game, I like the mechanics and I like Star Wars. I've given up campaigning and hoping for change, however, as it's not coming.
Maybe one day I'll decide enough is enough, I'm not there yet.
You totally don't get me at all. If we're speaking plainly now, seriously, then all I want is "value for money". This game used to offer that, lately they got greedy.
Neanderthals were quite well adapted for their habitat. Adaptation in the evolutionary sense is quite different from its lay use. Ewoks not having reproductive organs or excretory orifices...now there's an example of poor adaptation
While these particular forums are not the 'elegant weapons of a more civilized age', the content of the responses to development choices lately have primarily been based in reasoned analysis.
Anyone who has been playing SWGOH since Day 1-ish, recognizes that there have been a number of design choices and implementations that have been 'off', but the way that mods were introduced and its follow up has been a 'next level' debacle.
Just because someone might lack the language skill set to eloquently make their point, does not mean that their point is off base. Gameplay changes that dismantle the previously existing paradigm in every way IS NOT power creep, it is the nuclear option. That's what happened and that is why the response was appropriately proportional.
Some of the biggest hitters and spenders in the game realized this and what it would have meant for the future. Not just a change, but a complete dismantling of the game. So here's to them for providing a counterpoint and actually influencing any kind of response.
TL; DR - The dev 'vision' of the game involves extracting the maximum amount of money out of the player base. Good on the peeps who stood in the way of the heist.
I can't stress enough how much you've missed the point, but you seem keen to continue repeating that same mantra endlessly. So, due to a shortage of crayons, I'll have to abandon any further attempts.
@Palanthian
Keep up the good fight, i really enjoy your threads and your always spot on. Don't give up man you do have alot of people on here that agree with you.
At the moment i do everything i can to draw them to my thread series.
Without providing any sort of feedback, there's no hope of poorly implemented ideas from ever seeing proper refinement. Maybe you're fine with whatever "curve ball" the devs decide to throw at you, and you'll just continue swinging away at everything. But some of us are going to take our time at the plate and wait for that quality pitch before swinging or EA/CG will let us walk.
After you see my post half way up.
Remember you created a thread to thank the development team and you should expect that not everyone will be willing to share your opinion.
Also threads like these are actually very bad to make because it brings up alot of anger from people.
If you want to help and show your support of the game. I recommend doing a pro and con list and then asking what others feel their pro and con list is.
But don't reply back and fan any flames.
So let's use this little spat to better understand the player-base, this could be great feedback for the developers.
I'm clearly feeling hard done by, you're seeing nothing but positivity. You're thanking the developers and feel that they've done you a favour by creating this game.
Are you free to play?
@Palanthian
Omg, that part made me release a sound of laughter that scared my wife.
OP is clearly trolling though.
The problem is when you use phrases like "Don't let the trolls in the forums distract you guys from your vision of what the game could be." you're directly attacking anyone and everyone who has ever provided critical feedback in an attempt to improve the game (in addition to all the people who really are just complaining because they can). And then you go on to directly attack several individuals with differing opinions.
We're complaining in an attempt to improve the game. You're complaining because we don't agree with your opinion.
