My veiw on Legendary Events
Many in the community have been complaining about the short notice given for legendary events. I have always looked at this as an opportunity to reward those who have already invested in characters ou...

You have to pick and choose in this game if you are not a Kraken. I realized this way back in tournaments--I only set a defense squad for the Vader's TIE ones so I could save ally points, and got a 6* Jyn.
Was there enough time to farm FO if you chased the rumors because of the new movie and Phasma being login? Sure. But you would have had to choose that over, say, getting your TB characters ready. And maybe you interpreted that as needing FO to support a character rather than unlock in the fifth Legendary event outside of Hero's Journey. Maybe you didn't know it was BB-8. But you should at this point be expecting any new characters to have seemingly OP kits regardless.
Which comes back to choice. Either you choose to chase new characters and the meta, or you work on in sight goals, help your guild, and have fun doing other aspects of the game. I passed on Thrawn the first time because I didn't want to divert resources from tank teams as we were pre-HAAT at the time (and I was never going to get him 7, anyway). Well, so we finally beat HAAT and I go back to Phoenix, and then they drop TB on us, so I have to pause on Hera for Captain Han. Finally get him to 5* and just finish Hera, then they say we need FO for BB-8. So do you go after 5* BB-8 and hope you can beat t7 of Thrawn without Ezra? Do you pass on BB-8 all together? And at some point I still need to go back to mod farming.
F2P and light spenders CAN do well in this game. But they have to make choices and manage their resources. And maybe that means not getting every legendary right off the bat. It all comes back to choices. If all you care about is arena and chasing new Legendaries, then join a guild that will carry you just for tickets and chase all the internet hunches rather than guild toons. If you care about other aspects of the game, then you can't have every new shiny thing right away.
The thing that money buys you in this game is time. If you don't spend, it doesn't mean you can't have things, just that it will take you much more time. You should realize that going in and be comfortable with it.
