Are you serious?

So you want the game to be fully lore accurate?
Kills the game.

By making seemingly "weak" characters useable or even good, the game allows people to use the characters they love. 

So you "understand that new characters need to be exciting so people will want to farm them" but still moan.

These kind of decisions that mean Whales will whale regardless on characters that are "basically insignificant in the Star Wars universe" are what keeps the game running for lighter spenders or f2p.

Its not CG that needs to come to their senses, they've played a blinder here.

Yes, I moan when they do stupid things.... 

🤣

I don't know what you saw or read but they have shown what they do when a non-herioc-famous character can beat GLs. They won't touch it for 3 years so people spend alot of money on it only then to nerf it, go into your account and strip relics and omicron mats then give them back to you at a lesser market value. 

In any case one of 3 things will happen: what I wrote above, they might nerf immediately or if this current Era Event model is to be used to predict anything, there will be other characters 12 weeks later then even more powerful.

Just make a choice if you want to spend money on this or not and stick to that choice. I'm not participating in this because it feels kind of like the economic collapse in 2008.. I wonder if this is the garage sale right before the game is ended ><

Now I'm fully convinced you work for them, CG does not need to come to their senses? Are you even playing this game? Since the Era of Anniversary there has not been a single week that has been bug or error free.

This has been like watching Diddy trying to make a new rap record
