Feels like F2P is no more

Ive been a long playing member. Since 2016. This is the very first time i ever felt the need to speak up since I started playing. So here it is. 

I dont see any other update where it feels like we’ve been so screwed over as F2P. Needing to make spreadsheets to plan out how to get your currency and how to spend it is ridiculous. Every time you open the game you are now faced with a screen/challenge that requires you to have a Character or feature that you need to spend on to get (i.e Huyang / Episode pass etc) 

Really hope they turn this around somehow. I strongly suggest they return to the old Challenges. There was nothing wrong with it. Just a feat for COMPLETING the battles and giving you some progress was at least the minimum i feel i need. Thats been removed completely. 
Galactic Challenges was the way to get certain gear/stuff. Now its made so much more confusing, not only for the long term veteran, but for newcomers as well.
