Rigging the Community Goal was a bad idea.

I was just wondering why I can’t bother logging in and doing some CZs … then I realized it’s simply because the CG is rigged. In case you don’t know, one side needs 25b cr in bonds while the other needs 45b. Frontier saying “yeah, we want the Empire to win this” is enough for me to not care about the entire thing, no matter what side I was going to fight for.

That is all, have a nice day.

Rigged, not rigged, who cares? It's a game we've all paid good money for so why not enjoy what it's offering?

It's also the first bit of story we've been able to get involved in for ages, whether or not you have any love for the Empire or the outcome is pre-determined stuff is happening again after a REALLY long break.
If you don't want to join in then don't, but I guarantee I'm having way more fun with my (just short of) 50mil of combat bonds and 400mil of Massacre profits than you are by sulking ;)7

I am in awe of your "Top 10 Commanders"!

Gah, beating me again!🤪
 
If I look at a CG and see a 1:2 or more discrepancy with equal goals for each, I don't feel like I can do anything, the community already decided. No point spending my time against impossible odds. Which is clearly how it went with the previous CG, you could see the discrepancy only getting bigger and bigger.

If I look at a CG and see 15% vs 15% or something similar like that, I do feel like I can go out there and try to shift it, and so I have been. I've never went for top 10 in a CG before and just settled for top 50% which would be average, but this motivated me to keep going for it, and here I am fighting for what I believe in-game... and for multiple days. This is as political as a game can be, especially since there are no shiny bribes for either side.

I hope to see more CGs like this one, rather than ones that are decided on the first day.
