This is a seriously $tupid idea. What's the point of borrowing someone's toon or even adding an allie to your ally list if your gonna allow people to trade off galitic war points for ally points? Why didn't you devs add new toons to galitic wars instead of this dumb ally point idea?
I'm sure others like this idea...to me I'm just left wondering wth you were thinking. I've been saving ally points for months , finally got a use for them now anyone with a few thousand gw coins can also get 200k ally points is just wow really?
Since you guys are doing $tupid ideas how about put arena coins in the Catina shop for trade. Why not put gw coins in the guild shop for trade? No? Too $tupid of an idea...well why stop now you've come this far?

People who have 1000s of them as they already have maxed toons and nothing to spend them on.
I have received a couple unlocks from Bronziums, but for the most part its been all junk.
This gives people a chance to use an underutilized part of the game.
No this is for the whales that don't have shoretrooper and 100k+ ally points stocked up (not to mention the GW tokens they can still trade if they have to).
The next tournament isn't about who has the most crystals, it's about who has the most ally points and some have a lot..
You can also only attack each team once, so it won't matter all that much.
That wouldn't be funny. Having a tournament for a free toon who's available later. If it's exclusive then don't make it easy to get. Just my opinion.

Now it looks like I will need to use up my GW tokens on buying Ally points so that I can try and get Shoretrooper?
For those of you with GW tokens and want to get Shoretrooper remember that it takes 26400 GW tokens to 7 star one character. That equals 396,000 Ally points if you buy them with GW Tokens.
There have been no useful things to spend GW tokens or Ally points on and people like me have been collecting them. But it looks like in one event they are going to get people to spend all of their Ally Points and GW Tokens in one shot..... Well played......
I like the idea of using Ally Points instead of Crystals for the event, it levels the playing field a lot. People have worked hard for GW tokens and spending all on Ally points to get a shot a Shoretrooper kind of sucks. I would really like to know the plans for Shoretrooper and when he will be released for farming. If I spend all my GW tokens on him and he is farmable a month later I'm going to be pretty upset......
Also there will be a lot of Refreshes of GW shipments for people to buy more Ally Points, so they will still get a lot of Crystals out of this....
I really appreciate all of the work the devs have done to get us new events, new raids, new characters, and keeping the game fresh. I just feel a bit burned on having to use GW tokens for a shot at getting Shoretrooper..... I feel like GW tokens have always been used for farming characters and with Rouge One coming out we would get a few new characters in GW shipments.
I wonder if using thousands of ally points on bronzium would be a better investment though.
This, 100%
I'm 100% saving GW tokens until I see the cost of refreshes, and how I can potentially place should I refresh.
Make Zader Great Again!
The fixed payout times are the worst part of this game and makes it absolutely family-unfriendly.
At least. My guess is 10k.
Dang right I'm bitter. I've been saving up for months on end waiting for the perfect time to use them while the majority was spending them. Something that took me months to collect others can collect with several thousand Galatic war coins. Anyone else doing what I have been doing would be annoyed too.
The logic of it is $tupid.
Ally points should be obtainable from "using allies" not purchasing them from Galatic war shipments that has absolutely zero percent to do with anything at all pertaining to allies. If they want people to spend Galatic war coins then add more freaking toons more often.
They are trying a different avenue with using the ally points, and utilized a source that will make the whales happy, because all the whales are sitting on a zillion War tokens since they cleared the GW store months ago.
I commend EA for trying this approach. Unique because there is no tie to gems (cash). Should make for an interesting tournament this time around.
You should be happy you won't miss out on the whale party because you've been hoarding your ally points.
Edit: I dont mind the ally points being in GW shipments but the exchange rate is dispicably high.
