You really were suppose to collect many of these now less useful characters to get one rare character. Of coarse you can short cut that all and just buy the legendary characters... but that cost thousands of dollars to and it was not reasonable to expect any one to do that.
You.... you realize that you actually *can’t* do that right? You can’t get Thrawn without collecting the shards for Phoenix and leveling and promoting those required characters. There is no option to just buy Thrawn to keep your GP low instead.
Duh...you BUY the phonix crew to get early access to Thrawn...which if you want to get all technical is WORSE and cost more than just directly buying one character. And that was not that big a deal....so you had to wait a cycle to to get Thrawn. At that time you were STILL encouraged to promote anything you had extra shards/gear for because it helped in territory wars and other random missions and events. I made PVP my top priority and always gave my arena team the best. No GP penalty in regular arena...you fight your way to the top. Grand Arena is not PVP....it is a weird resource game where your bracket is based directly on GP...a game that anyone was serious about this game and tried to get every advantage possible is now penalized for. To give grand arena credit....I love the clean bracket system that matches you up with people who have lost or won the same number of times. Your bracket should be based on how much you won or lost not on GP...maybe with some sort of seasonal restart....literally the way most games work. Nobody says: Oh you bought some useless stuff but you have to fight the guy who bought the same number of top tier items...what? Why permanently burn every body that actually played the game and tried different stuff. Makes no sense.
