A modest proposal for Marquee Events:

So, the overall point of a Marquee event is to introduce new characters and give players an idea of what that character can do to see if they want to add the character to their collection. They're open squad for this reason. However I don't have any way to know what level/power of characters people will bring into the event. YOU might have a super powerful 85k Resistance squad to try out Rose & Holdo with. But there's also a lot of people sitting in a 15k squad that they've barely invested in (remember: we are constantly adding new players & not everyone plays the same rate or way). In this circumstance, I chose to make the events intentionally easier so that anyone can participate with (almost) whatever squad configuration they want to try. The Bonus tiers in the level 80+ versions are there specifically for the reasons you request. Often, if I have time, there are also practice events at the end of some Marquee series (Lord of Hunger and Stand Together, for example). I am hoping to include some more of these training events in the future.
