using hoarded crystals is not pay to play
pay to play dont have to hoard
If it’s spend $300 or have 10’s of thousands of crystals like with JKR on the first event run, that was P2P.
nope
So in your opinion, the JKR, DR, and Malak events weren’t P2P the first run through? GAS wasn’t P2P the first run through?
They were not P2P first run, except maybe Malak because of the timing. JKR and DR were obvious and we had plenty of time with 8 attempts to farm the characters without $$$.
Seriously? Lmao you don’t remember the big controversy over needing brand new toons like Jolee, Bastilla, Zalbaar, etc? The same with DR. Malak was the most P2P of the three with only a couples days notice and a 72 hour long event.

On their second runs, really any events second run, it can’t be considered P2P anymore (maybe executor because of the insane relic costs but even then the argument can be made it isn’t)
That’s where the whole tip of the spear comment from Carrie cause such big issues in the community
Controversy =/= P2P
The forums cry P2P/P2W about every new character, especially legendary events, since the beginning of time. Its the same reason we get those "fun" names from content creators that are money puns like Cash Spendar and TopCash, its easier to blame not getting something on the greedy corporation rather than not having the resources needed through gameplay. the "Tip of the spear" comment applies to paying and non-paying players.
So everyone should have no issues having tens of thousands of crystals always saved up? That’s not feasible or F2P.
OG 5* legendaries were F2P because of the extra time to farm. Almost everyone got the new toons at 5* with whales/spenders getting them 7* on the first run. Then that grouping of 5* unlocks got smaller with more difficult events like Chewbacca and Padme. Once JKR and journey events hit that was all she wrote on F2P getting them the first run without tens of thousands of crystals saved up. By doing that they would severely hinder their progress in hopes of having the next meta team for squad arena. So yes, those events were P2P and caused a controversy over how high the pay wall was getting.
And you know what? That’s fine. Spenders should get first crack and the most bang for their buck. I’ll admit when JKR came out and was such a high paywall I was one of those angry but by the time Malak rolled around I accepted it and worked with off Meta stuff to fight with the spenders in SA. I was ok with big spenders having an edge.
You are confusing easily accessible and F2P. Not every f2p player needs to be able to do something first run for it to have been f2p accessible. Like I said, there is a F2P tip of the spear just like there is for spenders
If F2P people can’t get it through normal means (no hoarding tens of thousands of crystals is not normal), then it’s not F2P accessible lmao.
I seriously can’t believe people actually think that event like JKR and events since then were F2P on their first runs lmao.
So if you got them
On their first runs, then you weren't
F2P? Yeah, right... :D
