Dark Side Currency is just a cash grab

why would you need to spend money to sim nodes? I'm real confused.

Because they don't want to wait 4 weeks to finish it off which is how it takes without dipping deeply into crystals/cash?

From memory:
700 tickets for just the ultimate
140 (i think) for Tier 4-5
180 Tier 3
120 Tier 2
120 Tier 1

1260 tickets after you spend months to unlock the event. If you're lucky, refreshing up until it hits 100 per refresh (stop at the first 100), you get about 50 tickets a day, so 25 days or so at that rate to get those tickets. It's a VERY unnecessary punishment for spending months to unlock an event. And that's exactly what it is, a punishment or an attempt to make people pay to avoid it. No more, no less. There's absolutely not actual game based reason for a such a thing.

You level your 5 toons for a legendary, you can complete the whole thing in a day. Yeah, GLs are a major update, that's why you gotta level 15 of them to higher heights. 22 in the case of JML since most do JKL then go right to JML. That's should be effort enough, no?

So someone being impatient and spends crystals to finish it faster is somehow a cash crab by CG? Right.

Yes. Dark side tickets were designed primarily or solely with the intent of generating profit.
Wether a player is impatient or not, has nothing to do with this fact.

This will probably come as a chock to you but generating profit is not limited to the farming of dark side tickets, it is the purpose of all business enterprises in the world. Using such a broad definition for a specific aspect of the game is pretty pointless, you might be better off looking up the definition of “lack of self-control”.
