Lightspeed Bundles are Getting Crazy.

Why is the Ki-Adi-Mundi LSB 20 bucks? I understand he's a TB character, but $20 for ONE TB character? We should've also gotten Wat Tambor here as well. If we had Wat Tambor, I would've literally paid...

An insult? That is a wild opinion. Everyone should take pride in their own journey. Some people have more time than others and everyone should be able to enjoy the game in their own way. I see no downside. It doesn't degrade your achievements any more than you let it. The only thing it actually does is make the game more accessible to newer players which should be something you should get excited about unless you want this game to die out.

Everyone said the same thing after the OG LSB's. Taking it as a slight to you or your account is just an ego thing. At the end of the day, it's just a game, and it should be about having fun not gate keeping for no actual reason other than a few egos.

Well said. If you already have the LS bundle content, then why let it affect you? It doesn’t. I get that it can feel invalidating to your own hard work, but keep in mind that’s a gatekeeping mentality. I know it’s not always easy, but try not to put your own struggles onto others. It’s self-defeating.

Gate keeping how exactly?
1 - There remains today genuine means to farm. And I suggested many times they could bring the missions to ROTE. This will actually be negatively impacted for F2P or future players as I doubt the competitive guilds with good KAM yields at the moment will continue. Reducing availability to farm in the future other than Mk3. (It requires a guild motivated to farm).
2 - KAM is a nice to have but his value was how difficult he was to obtain rather than his use. So yes the LSB does reduce his value. He does not transform any squads QGJ or JMK are powerful without him. He is not critical in the raid. He is not a requirement for a GL creating a barrier for early players in anyway.

  They should make him more accessible for f2p on top of releasing the bundle. Both would be best case scenario. So what is the issue?

    I have said they should make him more accessible. My belief is the LSB makes him less accessible for those who do not purchase now. I think any guilds currently getting 30+ KAM shards will probably switch as a good amount will purchase and ROTE is better gear rewards. This will remove the farming route and leave just MK3. Keeping missions, bringing them into ROTE or even increase shards per person in mission or for Mk3 for all to get would be better than LSB. Because having the mission route is fun to have a co-ordinated team effort and accomplishment. It provides a challenge in game to improve modding, and the community effort was fun. Only three characters need this in game, but KAM was the most challenging. I would argue Wat was a bigger issue as he is needed for JMK so could be permanently available as a bundle. But KAM was the perfect one to leave as a challenging unit to obtain for motivated players. The Reva mission is a lot easier and is way more impactful for inquisitors.
