Excellent job of articulating these issues, thank you very much everyone who has posted and for putting thought behind the posts. I'm just sorry everyone has to go through this during what should be a happy holiday season. I too am a 2m plus GP player, I spend about 1k annually and also feel that should be enough to be prepared for these events, but alas I have missed on both CLS and now Rey, Thrawn took twice and BB8 is still only 6 stars after two events. I feel like I am falling behind playing constantly and spending what I think most consider a good amount on this game, a definite middle of the road P2P player. If I could have known about each of these events sooner and the requirements for them, I very likely could have at least re-invested the money I did spend in a different way to get one or two more of these events completed and I would feel a whole lot better about the management of the game, without having had to spend any more than I have to date.
