Coliseum character progress
These era charactors. We are told that we progress by way of the coliseum instead of the conventional way, fine. Whatever it equates to in the end is what we get as a conventional toon. All with the goal of getting the prerequisite toons at era level. But there's a problem. What you don't say is that we have to pay money to 7* the toon right away so we have access to the last 2 tiers of the special marquee event. We need to have access to those critical Zarek ability moduals. There is no way to achieve our goals unless we collect these from the beginning. This is wholly counter to the era method. It's the only place to get those zarek mats. (Im stuck at the 3rd tier of the new maul event without these zarek mats)
On top of that, I'm stuck here at level 80 with my era toons because you stopped our progress and gave us a few coins, How do I move forward. The event has ended for me. I have almost 15mil gp. What's your plan for me to continue my collection? Even if I wanted to spend 100's of dollars on gear cards for the 81/85 gear levels, I will never have enough zarek mats. All of the ,basically, empty space with all those coins in tier 6 to 8 that could have had 81 to 85 mats in them so we could make our goals and progress. This seems poorly thought out and money grabbing.
