Recently I saw that CG are looking for feedback on the issue of marquee characters going straight into platoons. I'd rather give my feedback here as this has now become such a big problem and needs addressing.
Since the Solo movie was released and you've now dropped the KOTOR characters and 2 new ships. My guild and the top guild in my alliance are completely unable to fill platoons due to the demand of needing several non F2P characters for each platoon. For platoons in stages 5 and 6 we've had a 0 on all platoons over the board due to this issue and only managed 2/6 in one of the 3 in stage 4. We currently need 11 marquee characters over the south platoon, 6 in middle and 5 in ships, 1 in each one which destroys the point of doing platoons.
I understand the logic of marquee events and the purpose of them is to unlock and try the characters before hand which i'm more or less in favour of. The real issue is its completely unfair to demand any marquee characters in platoons really given that you need several anyway. Its really destroying the point of platoons which is then directly harming the territory battles and making me dread territory battles down the line. Its hard enough to get the newly released F2P characters to 7* as it is as i'm still 20 off Bossk being 5* and i bought him to 4* for the purpose of the DS TB. So i don't see why you need to put any marquee characters in as guilds will still struggle for 7* characters to fill them either way.
I hope this marquee platoon issue is addressed soon as i feel its unfairly costing us stars due the lack of abilities in the CM's and its really starting to become a tedious bore even though territory battles is always something i've liked doing.
