Journey Guide is NOT Beginner-Friendly
Here are some screenshots from my secondary account which is currently at level 79. The Journey Guide won't let me access any of the events (except Palpatine, Yoda, and Thrawn) because I don't meet...

I understand that it's a bit frustrating having to level your account to 85 to unlock those event toons, but at least they are there all the time and will never go away compared to how it was before the Journey Guide.
You can't unlock them before level 85 now, so what? It's not like you really NEED them for anything below level 85. Any sub-85 content can be beaten without those toons, easily. Back in the days we didn't have those at all and had to fight our way to 85 with our Phasmas, Clone-Wars-Chewbaccas, Jedi Consulars and whatnot. And if we managed to do it with those, then you can surely do it with the 10x better stuff that's available today.
One question for you: Let's assume that you are a brand new player to this game... would you rather have to wait until you were level 85 to instantly unlock a character, or just wait for the event and get the character at level 65 (for example)?
As I said earlier, on my level 85 account, I really love having the events active all the time. But from a beginner point of view, it can seem really frustrating.
As StarSon mentioned above, it's a tradeoff. If I were a new player I would either think that getting to 85 to unlock is the norm and wouldn't think further about it, or I would simply accept it if I knew that rotations were a thing earlier, and that permanent availability may have its price (in this case reaching 85 first).
I'm not saying it's a good thing that they "locked" it behind 85 now, but let's be honest, it's really just a first world problem. I'd rather wait a bit until I reach 85 and have all events open forever than miss the event because it's only running for a week and I wasn't quite ready yet.
