Did you get General Skywalker? For someone who doesn't have time to play the game, you sure have plenty of time to watch MobileGamer's rants

Well funny thing is that it isn’t just MG complaining anymore. All the former game changers are in unison about the epic confrontation debacle.
Massive gear, leveling, farming and hoarding required to get half a toon. That’s not ok. Release the toon at 7* and when bugs occur like they did today, they won’t be as big of a deal. It will only be a matter of extra shard shop currency.

1. Seven star unlock is a different subject altogether compared to what happened today with the Malak event.
2. Massive gear, leveling and farming has always been a standard in every event in this game. This was true when Chewbacca was released, when Padme was released, when Thrawn was released (gear 8 was big at that time and required a lot of stun guns on phoenix), heroic raid toons etc.

Its like everyone forgot what game they are playing or how it works. It was the #1 advice people gave when Negotiator was released, hoard your currency until you can unlock him incase Malevolence is released midway and is a better ship for example

But you got full 7* toons from those events didn’t you? Chewy, Padme, Palp, Thrawn...all able to be 7* off the bat. None of them required further Forced farming just to get their shards.

As far as a 5* Epic Confrontation goes, I don't like it but it is what it is. I play this game just like everyone else, I'm unlocking them just like everyone else, and I have to wait 5 months to 7* them just like everyone else. I think its dumb

I do agree that it would be better if Epic Confrontation toons were 7 star unlocks (I have my own reasons that don't involve gear investments) as far as how demanding and resource heavy the events are: I think its fair that things are scaled at g13, relics, because that's how events, and new content are always tuned and it makes sense for it to be very difficult so that players have something to chase after rather than SIM and get bored of. This includes events that rewards 5* toons, 6* toons, or whatever rarity CG decides
