I would totally buy into this well written but misguided explanation IF at a certain point (even at devs discretion) toons would come off the single node farm at some point- ending the exclusivity. But they don't. They stay permanently.

I've done many single node farms. I don't begrudge them making money, as I've stated on many occasions, but I must say at what point do you break the players bank and they stop spending? It's like they cut off their nose to spite their face sometimes. They may add to Cantina, because that's revenue on a limited resource. But stated never in a store that may benefit all players.

And they did state terms. 4-6 weeks Chromium, 4-6 weeks Shipments, then f2p farmable. They set that cadence, not me. So my 3 month window is absolutely correct, and that is on the high end.

again, no that is not correct, because they also clearly state in that same post that they will put them in a store that has a rotation or on a node. and that will absolutely add time unless you supplement with crystals and is very clearly stated as part of the release cadence.

the exclusivity does end. approximately 6 months or so after they are put on a node because at that point anyone who wanted to could have them 100% free.

Got it. People need 6-9 months of exclusivity, or advantage.

Got it.

Guess I'm the only one who wants toons to go to other locations other than a 16 or 20 energy single node.

Got it.

Do they need it, I'm not sure, but have you seen how expensive the toons are?

Also, as I have said that period after they enter shipments for crystals is not exclusively about the spender who bought it previously. It's about adding value to the person who is buying with crystals they either bought or saved. That is still an "investment" and without the dwindling exclusivity of a long farm it is less so.

This game is not a hard line of P2P/F2P, there are a big range of people who dont spend $500+ a month, and there are a bunch of hoarders who play very close to the chest and may not spend any $$. They are trying to make a market for them too.
