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

Wow. Thanks. @CG_RyDiggs.1. We are listening.
* Self explanatory. I'm just confirming what you know (evidenced by me repying ;) )
2. We will not be able to make changes to THIS TB.
* Pretty clear setting of expectation there.
Apparently you aren't listening all that closely, or you would have known that #2 isn't as clear as you think. The general reaction, throughout the mega thread where you posted this, was that "this TB" meant the one in progress. Not Hoth. Since you guys have shown that you can actually change things in existing game modes (say nAAT...), there's no reason why we would think you would "not be able to" make changes to Hoth. So if you had been listening, you might have wanted to clarify that part.3. This is a living game, and we all will continue to grow and improve on it.
4. Some of newer players may not understand the 'living' nature of our game, but please know that not every piece of feedback needs to be an ultimatum for us to listen or change.
* Reminder that we're constantly updating and changing aspects of the game to improve and enhance it.
5. I see the requirements feedback. We will be reviewing it in the coming weeks.
* Confirmation that we will review feedback. If or when we take action is not committed. ONLY that we do read and review feedback.
Given the general uproar on this, you might have wanted to be clearer that there were going to be no changes to the Hoth TB ever (though we will get to that below), and that these platoon requirements will continue to exist. Hoth, apparently is not a "living" part of the game, since you've now said it can't be changed.6. There is no way for it to change in this TB.
* Again, setting expectation for current TB. Explicitly saying we are not committing to anything.
Sure there is. I'm not a programmer, but even I know that coding can change. In fact, it already has in Hoth (see the star requirements for the Rolo mission -- that changed multiple times). So there is a way, you just won't actually do it. This gets back to the fact that the interpretation of your statement (which wasn't "corrected" by you or anyone else on the dev team) that "this TB" meant the one in progress.7. I cannot say what future TBs will be.
* Most Important: Not committing to any future changes of TBs.
Nobody asked you to.
Thanks for the condescension though.
