If you want to talk about not having Pao or Bodhi, I'm thinking that's all kind of your own faults. I started farming Pao and Bodhi as soon as TB was opened since I saw they would be needed. My guild has the same problem, but I wouldn't consider it a design flaw.

Having characters that no one uses or are hard to get be more prevalent in TB was almost a foregone conclusion in my book. Hence why I am not surprised to see CUP, Pao, Bodhi, Baze, and Lobot all the time in there. I am also not upset about this. Saying: "Territory Battles are going to use your whole roster" might as well have been saying: "If you don't have all those don't-fit-anywhere and hard-to-get characters starred up you won't do as well."

Now requiring Millenium Falcon, Cassian's UWing, or Kylo Ren's Command shuttle is a bit below the belt. They were all obtainable at some point, but have never been farmable outside of the Fleet Mega-Pack (which doesn't count as a way to farm them since it is so random). If they had individual packs where you could farm just them at some point, then they could be considered to have been farmable, even if only by whales. But the Fleet MegaPack is too random to count.

Even Paploo, Logray, and Wicket would be semi okay in my book since they did have their own individual packs on the board for a bit. The fact that they are in Chromiums now certainly doesn't count.

TIE Reaper is a weird one. It never had individual packs, it shared a pack with TIE Advanced... But that's only one other ship, and to be fair it seemed to have a much higher drop rate than the TIE Advanced.



So my point of view is basically that: I agree they shouldn't be including characters and ships that have only ever been available to farm through Random data cards even if they have had a 1 time individual pack at some point. But if they at least had repeatable buy packs at some point that makes sense, even if it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. But anyone that is actually farmable shouldn't be complained about.

I don't have a problem with poa and bodhi per say. i have a problem with needing 14 of them. That's just silly for two terrible toons. There is a difference between "you'll need your whole roster" and "1/3 of your guild will need a useless toon at 4 stars"

While I understand what you're saying, I'd be willing to be this is selective perception to a point. There's a good chance your platoons required a lot of Biggs or Wedge or Lando, etc. too. But it doesn't stick out because everyone has them. I would actually think that 15 is a pretty good number. It's 30% of a guild. If 30% of your guild has a diverse enough roster to include blah character, you get bonuses.

It did hurt us to fill allow those Wiggs toons. We did not fair as well on missions. Those are toons everybody has but I understand what you are saying. Bodhi is no argument. He's an easy farm and that's just on us. Cantina currency is really hard to come by though. I have more of an issue with Falcon and Logray to be honest though. Maybe if it wasn't for Logray, it wouldn't be as bad as we could at least fill what platoons we had of poa.
