Thrawn isn't mandatory. Having Chaze isn't mandatory, or DN (but arguably, he is). Playing this game isn't mandatory.
But we are playing this game, and we are unlocking DN's, and Chaze's and new Ahsoka. And a lot of us playing are looking for non-rebels we can use.
I know you've posted a bit on this forum, so you understand people are getting a little fed up with the rebels in general. All of them. Wiggs was annoying and Chaze is hurting the game, but all of them.
In that light there's a portion of people who weren't 100% thrilled with the Phoenix squadron, in general. With them even being released.
But now, in order to get this new toon for an empire faction we desperately want/need new toons for.... we need said pheonix/rebels squad.
Like, I understand what you're saying, and you have your point of view. But you're not seeing the other side of the coin so your line of reasoning just dumps you in "fanboy" status, whether true or not.
... I can't speak for everyone, but to get my point across, it's like if CG gave us all 6 of them @ 7*'s and we just had to level and gear them, that would STILL be a PITA. WE DO NOT WANT THEM.
