Well done.

I hope it serves as an example or rule to authorize or justify a subsequent act of the same or an analogous kind.

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

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
