It's still not a paywall, not even a limited-time paywall.

So how exactly, without paying or waiting, does one get it then?

With crystals you saved up.

Which makes it a time wall. Do you think that most players are generating, free to play, enough crystals to reasonably be able to 7 star a new character?? She isn't even in shipments yet. What an utterly ridiculous statement.

Every new character has "pay" or "time" wall. You can't get all new shines at full for free just after they where added. You either pay real money, or crystals you hoarded or wait for it to be farmable.
That is how this game works and has always been working.
