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...

I agree with you on all points, I thought it was a well planned event that made you work for some toons that you may not have focused on at all. It gave Phoenix Squadron a purpose and you got a character with a great kit in Thrawn that pretty much anyone could unlock before the event ended.
They also did what they needed to do on the business side of things. If you wanted to get a 7* Thrawn (for Heroic Pit & Tank), you must likely needed to spend some cash for crystals or even the pack that was offered. Dev's that don't get paid take their work elsewhere.
Capital Games, thank you for the event and I hope this is the beginning of new and exciting things to come for SWGOH!

They been getting paid on every other regularly released toon. Scratch that. EA/CG have been getting paid for those toons. Devs receive a salary.
Thrawn needing money to 7* changed the rules for legendary toons. Now legendary characters will be paywalled.
What? Most f2p didnt get yoda or palp above 5* the first time around, many didnt get them at all.
Edit: and we got stuck with garbage Eeth Koth :P
The difference was you COULD have had Palp or Yoda if you had been farming those characters. There was no way to farm Phoenix without crystals until just before the event, and only those who had hoarded resources could get him 7* without spending. I barely got him as FTP and that was only because I had lots of currency saved up, including shard shop currency I had been saving for Ahsoka, finish top 5 in arena everyday so I could refresh cantina energy 3-4 times.
They should have timed this better so that Phoenix went FTP earlier, or the Thrawn event started later. Even if they didn't announce Phoenix was actually needed. Then we would have only had ourselves to blame for not working on them when we could have.
