If CG wants to gate content, make it difficult, don't use arbitrary silliness.

Seriously, what's next? 7* CUP required to unlock Padme? 7* Mob Enforcer to snag 3PO? :(

The more I'm hearing about TB, the less I like.

Nobone forces you to play TB.

Correct. If I don't want any of the characters... or to help my guild..or G12 gear...then my arena rank can plummet without G12 and GW will become impossible, as I am sure there will be G12 teams nodes 9-11. Also it's likely that future content will requite both the new heroes and g12 toons. So my in-game progress would basically freeze. But yes, you are correct.

You can respond to this but not to your exaggeration of a "gate"?

^ this. When whales say "no ones forcing you..." In fact, yes they are. If we don't want to be stuck in this game, we MUST give in to CG's insanity.

By the same token, however: we're all in the same boat here. I've seen a few Soldiers in my time with the game, so there are probably a few filks out there that are feeling good right now, but by and large all of us are up against it more or less equally. So what's the big problem? It's not like they gave certain players some huge edge arbitrarily.

Because I didn't think you were trolling. If what has been posted is correct, you need 7* HRSoldier to obtain ROLO shards. Please explain to me how that is not a gate. Especially if you will eventually need ROLO to obtain Jedi Luke sometime in the future.

This is the logical progression from requiring certain toons to obtain legendary toons. Gates will keep being built putting non-whales further and further behind.

Warrior posted a 5* requirement for HRSoldier. 6* for scout (easy farm for scout)

Jedi Luke is probably a year in the future. Eventine just did the math and proved you can, with normal RNG, get that minimum requirement in 86 days, if you are starting from bottom up, which no one is. So there is plenty of time

aside from a small gate to get Jedi Luke next August, or May 4th, it's not a gate to the game. Plenty of great prizes without Rolo. Gear, Yoda, other shards, none of those require HrS

So just drop everything we're currently trying to build and focus on farming two otherwise useless toons for two two and half months? Nah, not buying into the hype this time. I use to pay every now and then but I'm strictly FTP now. If the game becomes a massive wall, I'll just move on. Simple. And saves me money and stress in the end.

That really all depends on where you are at in the game. I have my Arena team, I have my Fleet. HAAT is on easy farm and Rancor is too. Long time players should have something New and challenging and new players something to look forward to.

Also, is 60 energy a day really going to hurt your build? Scout is an easy farm. You've got to spend 5 battles of a hard node anyways, why not spend it on HrS?
