A different perspective on PhoenixGate
I consider myself to be a pretty objective person, but sometimes even I can get caught up in everything. I'll admit I was a little frustrated when it was first announced Phoenix were required for the...

This is the first legendary character to be released that people that had been playing for a long period of time couldn't 7* if they had a deep roster without spending money on it. That's the rub.
Except that isn't true. It was very possible for long time players including F2P to 7* Thrawn without spending money. As a F2P I chose to save my resources and settle for 6*.
I'm curious how it is you believe that it was very possible for long time players, including F2P, to get a 7* Thrawn. I am 100% F2P and I only just managed to get Zeb to 7* the other day (after the event was done) and he's the only one I have at 7* and have been farming them since they were released to their respective nodes.
I don't have an issue with how it was handled, really, as I know I'll get another chance at Thrawn and I don't have the gear for him (or for Phoenix, for that matter) so I'm in no hurry. I did manage to easily finish the Bonus Event Tier of the Flash Events and I have to say, the Complete Stun Cuff and MK5 Furnace in addition to 3 Zeta mats was well worth the investment on top of the 5* Thrawn that I managed. I also rather enjoy using Phoenix Squad, but all that aside, I fail to see how it was possible to get Thrawn at 7* as a F2P.
What method would you have used?
Well I started farming Phoenix from day 1 they became F2P. Zeb, Chopper and Kanan were no issue for me to 7* since I had enough currency saved for all 3 stores. I used the double drops and fleet store to get Hera and Ezra to 5* pretty quickly. After seeing Thrawn gameplay from EA Play I decided to push for 6* and refreshed cantina 3x a day. At that point I had a decision to make, refresh cantina 5x a day to get Hera and Ezra to 7* or save my crystals and get Thrawn to 7* the next time the event comes back around. Since Thrawn is arena viable at lower stars I decided to stick with 6* and save my resources.
