Is the Nerf in SQ rewards a direct result of battleground store?

If this is how game is going to handle the future monthly rewards distribution then I think the management should rethink.
Game was in a dire need of new mode - True
But if the same amount of rewards are rolled through two different game modes doesn't it make it hectic & time consuming?

Not to mention more expensive because of the energy use increase, making the rewards worse after a fashion

They nerfed 5.3.6 intentionally so that players can't farm refills from there so now BG is going to be released and the energy cost per match is still 15 energy/match .

I think they somehow thought that giving us small droplets of R4 material in SQ means they can take away some of the other stuff to supposedly maintain the "balance"

Energy will be issue and thus distribution of energy will require some sacrifices

Secondly, If r4 mats are available it doesn't mean that other resources should be cut in half. And cavs gonna suffer a lot cuz of it if this turned continues. I am TB and only thing which excites me about this month Sq is r4 mats. For cavs it's surely a disappointment

Tho this isn't the final reward structure of BG as it's still a beta but we can assume that it may follow some structure or close to it when it goes live. So when it's regular content, many factors will be involved in participation of BG like Energy, refresh cost - Duration and matchmaking.

For me this Sq is worst as I don't find it justificable to reduce the rewards on expense of r4 mats( objectives exclusive to TB).

Why 15 energy? I would be all in if it cost 10,000 gold or something.
For relatively new players like me, I already struggle with energy to do story, EQ, SQ and Daily Quests everyday. Then there’s Special Quests and Back Issues as well. I was going to do Battlegrounds but after a few rounds I realised I lost 4 hours of energy and will not be able to 100% EQ last month. Not to mention most of the people in BG are way more stacked than I am because I only play this game for 10 months…

Ones things for sure is rewards for money will never be “balanced”

It’s almost like they didn’t learn from Dungeons/Incursions. If you’re driving people too thin, by forcing them to spend time they don’t have/want to spend, it won’t be healthy.

Strong Prof Hoff vibes in this thread. There's a store missing all it's tinfoil out there.
