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 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*?

Because this is a game of resource management where players compete against each other in at least one portion of the game. Not that I think this is likely (time will tell), but I don't want a new player who just unlocked Merrin at 3* to be able to just pop her in their NS team and counter my "better" teams which I have invested relics and time in. It's pretty simple. If CG released a Marquee toon who was a GL killer at 3*, would you be happy? Maybe some new players would; I imagine most long term players would not. There's something to be said for the reward of investing time (or in some player's cases, money) in this game and then having the "best" team. CG may not care about long term ftp players, but I would think they care about the Whale's opinions

edit: Also, there is nothing preventing players from playing or using her under 7*. You just won't be able to use one of her abilities. Same with using a GL's ultimate. Just getting the character unlocked doesn't allow you to use that ability. You then have to farm the mats and unlock (time investment). I really don't understand why so many people are up in arms about this, its really nothing new or surprising in principle
