Hello.

I'm one of the usual suspects.

It's not a paywall.

Cheers.

Yes, this is WAI and the usual suspects on the forums have no problem with CG starting this precedent.

One time is not a precedent, but I hope it becomes one!

They did specifically mention they wanted to avoid a paper zombie kind of situation that some people took advantage of, so I think it’s fair it’s locked behind a G12 minimum.

As you said on the other thread at one point - False.

It’s quite literally unprecedented by the definition -

un·prec·e·dent·ed
/ˌənˈpresədən(t)əd/
adjective
never done or known before.

So that makes this a precedent that could be pointed to in the future.

precedent
2 of 2
noun
prec·​e·​dent ˈpre-sə-dənt
1
: an earlier occurrence of something similar
2
a
: something done or said that may serve as an example or rule to authorize or justify a subsequent act of the same or an analogous kind
a verdict that had no precedent
b
: the convention established by such a precedent or by long practice
3
: a person or thing that serves as a model

Why though? That just seems like a spiteful move/statement? How does it serve to make the game or experience better?

I don't use anything before I can 7* it anyway so this is a win in my book.

So you want to try to force everyone into playing the game exactly like you do? That’s just a very selfish way to approach or look at things in my mind. Why not allow for the possibility that some people do or might want to play differently? How does it hurt you if someone else wants to play or use them under 7*?

I think the reason is the one provided by CG for this- it limits people from "cheesing" with her immediately, since everyone will be unlocking her at 3* immediately. If NS will ultimately become a much better team with high-end Merrin, CG wants people to have to invest in her before being able to take down higher-end teams. I don't see why anyone who has been playing this game for a long time would be opposed to this

While I’m not a fan of an ability being gated behind g12, this isn’t a dealbreaker for me. So much of the game is already gated behind relics that getting a toon to g12 is just par for the course nowadays.

Yes it’s annoying that they won’t be farmable for a few months, but it won’t be that long, and then if you want to use Merrin , like I do, it’ll just have to be a long farm while not accelerated. I feel like the payoff in finally being able to do S&S will be worth it.
