Explain what "enough time to farm for Thrawn" means please

Btw I had already geared mine to either g7 or g8 when they were released anticipating they would be needed for something eventually before event started so I thought I would be ready.

A month. Thats about what I would need to 7 star, level up (my credit balance is pretty poor) and gear up 5 phoenix characters. With the time we have, I am probably going to get them to 5* and maybe gear 7, not sure I can get 5 to 6* in the time allocated.

So if Thrawn is a chaze killer and I just finally got chaze into my arena team a couple weeks ago after spending many months farming and gearing them then I have no chance in arena vs my competition. If I can't get top five I can't get enough crystals to do anything. If I can't do anything to compete then I have no reason to play.

I want to play this game but only thing keeping me here is social aspect and being able to compete in arena. I can't compete in raids being f2p vs whales and we don't set up silly guild rules that help me and hurt our whales ranks there. My ship shard is full of whales so will never compete there and GW is a joke. I only can play arena and if I am shut ouy of top five becauae the whales can't be moved anymore with a chaze killer then what is left? A new game mode in the future that is also for whales it appears?

you're assuming a 7* thrawn on defence will be unbeatable without thrawn, or with only a 5* thrawn?

Unfortunately for some it involves math, enough time is looking at where you are, the resources you have available and the event time.

No one needs to be ready on the 15th, it runs for 7 days. So what you have on the 21st is what you get.

I have enough store currency to get the 3 in store to 7* in 8 more days. So I have enough time and that's my deadline for enough time to farm...

Now I have to evaluate the other 2 in cantina, I got hera up to 19/100 on double drops and I am now working ezra up to 6* at 78/85. I am not sure where they will end up so I had to look at my saved resources.

I have enough saved currency to get 12k shard shop currency on top of my 6k already there. Not enough to get Sabine.

So I have to work on getting hera and Ezra to within 90 shards of complete in 8 days. That is how I measure how much time I have. I do not plan on spending crystals at all on shards, but may need to for gear.

I'm saying the mods on my competition are so much better than mine that I may not be able to get a turn vs them.

Sorry, but games like this aren't intended for F2P to be at the top of anything. F2P is just get people into the game....they want to force people to eventually spend money. If someone never ever spends any money, then you think they care if that person stops playing? This is a business....they are in it to make money....not provide a free service.

Business model, payers can pay for the best 7*, and no payers can make an effort for a 5*. If you want 7* throw some money, that simple. It's a company behind the game, never forget that.

It's not too big of a deal. A 5* thrawn will do just fine. So you can't use him in the raids, big deal. He will be back within the next 6 months and you can 7* him then. It'll take you 2 months just to gear him up anyways.

Well, I bought the packs back in March for each character, because I naively thought Phoenix would turn out to be the new Meta. With that, however, I most likely have enough now to farm all of them (except Sabine) up to 7* by the last day of the event. I just hope it really will last for a week...!

Think about it this way: Everyone who payed, has a good chance to get Thrawn at 7*. F2P have to wait half a year. It's basically the same as with any other character.

So you'll have a problem regardless of you having enough time to get a 7* thrawn of your own. I actually have the same problem, my mods are also far inferior. Rex is/was a lifesaver. I'm a bit more optimistic though, i'm sure i'll get atleast 1 hit in ^_^
