Except for R2 - these are original launch characters. Leia, Old Ben, Han have all been meta at one point. Farmboy Luke is the only one that wasn't and we had a heads up on him.
If you haven't been playing very long - come on man!...That's part of the breaks when playing a farm-type game, there's only certain amount of resources and only time / cash make up that gap.
Big picture here - MANY will have Luke as an incredible amount of players do have all those OLD characters at 7* already - this is a FREE handout CLS - insanely generous.
Newer players - sorry - you have to put in your dues somewhere. This can't be seen as anything but a goodwill gesture to the playerbase as a whole.
Unless you are a launch player who was adamantly against the dodge meta and didn't farm OB then or since out of spite, so I hardly call an event requiring a disease-ridden plague scum of a toon to be a free handout.
What event has ever had a lower and more obtainable hurdle when it came out? Maybe EP? Certainly not Yoda as 5 7* Jedi was not easy to get originally. Definitely not Thrawn. R2 was fairly easy, but not everyone had a 4th / 5th empire toon viable to make it to 7*.
This is 4 original launch characters that have been farmable forever. At worst, people may not have Old Ben. there's no excuse for not having Luke, Leia, and StHan though. And R2 event people should have been working toward R2 if they didn't get it before. Sure not 100% of all players will have these all 7* now, but arena is going to be totally flooded with CLS due to this availability.
I'm not debating the farmability of them all, since they are all fairly easy for any launch player, but I'm extremely peeved that I need to farm that pile of rubbish that is OB as a testament to how horrid and frustrating the dodge meta is. It'll be easy to grind his shards before whenever the event starts, but it takes away from the farms I was enjoying (Gar for P1 AAT team), and instead we are forced to relive the horrors of the dodge meta by farming that garbage can OB.
