Platoon Requirements
Looking for a dev response about whether or not non-FTP characters, new ewoks, tie reaper, falcon, are going to be required for platoons again or if this issue was fixed? @CG_Kozispoon

Most guilds do not have a surplus of Poa's. I'd say very few do. He is a useless toon in a slow farm where a lot of useful toons come from. If you've been playing less than 18 months, I'd venture you don't have him at all.
Everyone that's been playing for over 6 months should have gotten enough shards to unlock him when he was the login character.
And the person you are responding to said WILL have a surplus of Pao's SOONER or LATER, not that they do right now.
Requiring a few is fine but you are really setting a guild back a lot to start farming poa's. What if he isn't required last week? I have phoenix and resistance toons to farm from there as most people do. With currency needed to farm mods, Poa is in no way an easy farm. Especially considering he's useless.
Alright. when TB got released, there was a perspective shift.
Before that the most important areas in the game were HAAT, fleet, and squad as they were the sources for your crystals, gear, and zetas.
Guess what they are now? TB, fleet, and squad.
Guess which one is most important right now? TB.
Eventually it will shift back to a kind of 3 way tie, but for now it's TB.
So Pao is now a needed character for the currently most important game mode. I'd say that makes him one of the most important characters in the game, and it would be NOT farming him that could really set a guild's progress back.
Pao just went from being useless to important. My guild is seeing a lot of CUP requirements. Guess what? CUP's not useless anymore either.
This game mode was designed to realign our thinking about which characters were good and which were bad (to: "there are no bad characters". Clinging to those conceptions is only going to hurt you, not get CG/EA to change their minds.
How does one argue that Squad and fleet aren't more important than TB? Squad is still far more crystals and is definitely more important. Fleet has zetas. More important. Not sure it's that close considering you are 1/50.
Because it's where the new gear comes from. Your Squad will suffer if you don't get your toons into t12. Your fleet will suffer if you don't get your toons into t12. The pieces that come once they're in t12 are absurdly powerful.
Not prioritizing TB will make all your other important game modes suffer, which makes it the most important game mode.
