I've read many posts about why Baze is not in a store. Each time, it is the same demand, make him easy to farm. But one thing that they most likely don't have is the sense of achievement that comes out of farming characters like Baze now. I myself, am 99 of 100 shards for Baze and consider this an achievement. Baze is among the top tanks in the game and a long grind for him and other characters who are in the top characters should be hard, or else the reward of the character gives no sense of pride or achievement, just, that was too easy. These complaints need to stop. The devs need to have money, but I agree that the ways they go about it are at times, harsh. I had a long grind to get Thrawn and Commander Luke Skywalker and when I got them, it was like I had done so much hard work for two great characters and I had a sense of pride and achievement. People who complain have any sense of achievement or just want easy farms as your all too impatient to wait. Just let it go and stope complaining. The devs should have the right to do as they wish with the game, if you don't like how they do it, then don't play it, that keep your complaints to yourself.
You're wrong in a few different ways and I hope I cam convince you, if I don't ohh well.
1. Character who are platoon requirements or special missions for TB requirements should be relatively easier to obtain. I'm not saying that they should be free but certainly not placed behind 6 month farms. Baze is used in platoons and in a later phase if light side TB where you can only use rogue one.
2. They made gear 12 only achievable for 7 stars. Idk if you noticed but you can't get a character to g13 if they aren't 7 stars. This means that arena viability for 5-6 star characters is no longer a thing, with minor exceptions. Baze isn't one of them. Before you argue that this isn't true, keep in mind that I've played for over a year and a half and I know from experience that my g11 6 star baze cannon hold up nearly as well in arena as g12 bazes.
3. Most people don't complain that it should be too easy. They just say it should be EASIER*. There is a big difference, I'm sure noone things he should be put into Galactic War store or arena store, but adding him to a cantina node too or make him a low probability fleet store(like grievous) , or keeping him in guild event store is still a great way to make it a little easier for people. Also don't forget that his node 9b is once of the hardest to reach and 3 star for newer players. So for a player who starts the game now they will need almost 7-8 months just to be able to 3 star his node and then on top of that an additional 6 months to 7 star him... that's LONG.
4. Baze isn't as great of a tank as you think. I'm sorry to dissapoint you but he is severely outclassed by General Kenobi and other tanks. If you can farm Kenobi in about 6 months to 7 stars then Baze shouldn't take that long. You may think I'm crazy to say he isn't OP but don't forget that he isn't a great stand alone tank. He can't fit into ANY squad like Kenobi does, his taunt doesn't proc easily once it's dispelled and he basically is weaker than most tanks without Chirrut. So you are being forced to sacrifice an additional slot for a mediocre character with no damage. That slot could go to a much more poweful character. Trust me I'm using CLS, Han, Kenobi, Thrawn and R2 and my FAVOURITE teams to battle in arena are the ones with Baze and Chirrut. They are so easy for me that I don't care who else is with them or what mods they have. I just blindly go into them and win 95% of the time. In fact the only time I may lose to them is while I'm at work and I am not paying attention, I just click random buttons and make a ton if mistakes. That's the only way they can beat me. So since most players now have CLS, R2, Raid han, Thrawn and Kenobi that makes Baze's overall value much lower than before.
5. Lastly, rogue one was released 2 years ago, why would a character from that movie still be so hard to get? Same thing goes for Shore trooper, Krennic and DT. Of course DT and Krennic have been made a little easier to farm so why not Baze? I think we already have enough chatacters that you can consider achievements and take pride in. That's every legendary since Thrawn and also nightsister zombie, acolyte, Talzin, Wicket ect.
Baze is too old of a chatacter at this point to still be such an important achievemt type of character. And not to mention that with the amount of counters he has at this point he is no longer as OP as you think he is.
I hope this clarifies things a bit for you
