I don't care so much if platoons were guild limited or for the whole game. What I do care about is the randomization algorithm. Right now the algorithm is skewed towards "New" characters. I other words, the newest characters get the higher chance of being required in platoon. It's like people said, we've been farming Rose and Holdo, and now they are completely gone. Sense of accomplishment? Nope. Feels like a waste. Ok, so Holdo is useful, but Rose?
It's been that way from the beginning. I am sure everyone remembers Lobot in platoons. People spent months farming him, and this last TB we needed 2. That's it. It was the same way with ewoks, and vets, and all other "brand new" toons.
Oh and all the whales who bought them? You may say they can play with them in other game modes.... Riiiiiight ... Which game modes? GW is easy, boring, and simmable. PvE noone plays any more, it's just Sims for gear, and arena might be interesting once or twice, but if the toon sucks it's stuck on the garbage heap. And I've spoken with a few whales. They are frustrated also and don't want to spend money just on platoons. It's pointless.
So, make platoons truly random, and really pull from all toons in the game without skewing RNG towards the toons you are selling. You'll make your players happier, and they might be willing to spend more.
