Of all the mindsets in this forum, this often repeated mantra is by far the worst, and most puzzling to me.
I say this as someone with a 7* FOTP & FOST.
This game is a journey, and its a competitive journey at that. I respect those that have traveled that long path as a FTP. For everyone else, there was the Mastercard.
Seriously, CG has given access to heaps of toons via Guild Shop and Fleet shop that made a lots of toons easy to farm. Trust me, you got it easy already.
I disagree. Opening up "easier" access to older characters does little to help long term players, it purely helps newer players. Regardless every resource sunk into a formerly 1-node character is currency not going into something else. Dropping someone from 1 hard node to 1 node plus fleet, shaves off time to star him, at the huge expense of zetas.
This is barely a competitive game, outside of Arena and Raids, it's pretty much build at your own pace. Arena wouldn't be affected since shards are long since set, and I'd argue that the interguild competitive nature of Raid rewards are pretty lame and backwards from what a guild is designed to do.
I went 9 months without Credit Heists, then like another 6 before they were reworked to their current payouts. Does this mean I think everyone should have to go over a year without credits?
A newer player being able to 7* FOTP in 3 months, when it took me like 6, doesn't affect me in the slightest. I'd welcome the change, he's a really fun character with a good ship that more people should get access too.
Shards/access to characters are rarely the stopgap in development. It's gear and mods.
