Entitled to way more, like a "balanced" playing field when you feel "disadvantaged?"...lol
I like playing devil's advocate, too.
So, f2p didn't want to or couldn't pay to get her sooner and felt uncompetitive against those with her. To remove the immediate p2w advantage, the complaints of op start, compound, to shift "advantage" back to f2p, who get "balance" over time vs immediate premium of money.
I didn't think Barriss was OP. I'm not a brilliant gamer but had no problem developing a strategy to beat teams with her, even before I got her. I'd agree she was powerful so early in the game, but that's why people paid to get her sooner instead of grinding over time. People with Sidious have an advantage if you don't have Barriss. Does not paying or not having some characters sooner put you at a competitive disadvantage in the short term, you betcha. Equal opportunity choice, pay for sooner, or grind and catch up over time.
With such differing opinions, I'd be curious to see some data supporting how op Barriss was believed to be. I've seen data in other games supporting classes or characters having a significant, indefensible advantage in damage, health, cooldowns, etc., made sense to adjust. I've also seen nerfs simply because people complained, whined (squeaky wheel theory). With such diverse characters, roles, abilities, play status, etc., "balance" isn't really achieveable. Nerf this character, another becomes op, then another, and so on until aggravation sets in; pay for sooner or play free and be disadvantaged until you catch up over time. I might have a different opinion if I saw data supporting Barriss was op. But, still wouldn't change my opinion that those paying have a complaint given circumstances.
This whole thing is highly amusing. There are extreme whiners on both sides. Have seen it in other games too; the class struggle between f2p, p2p, and p2w.
Thank goodness chess was invented long ago or poor strategists today might say she was op...lol
Thanks EA for listening to both sides, trying to please as many as possible, and trying to make things better for those feeling slighted. Love the game and when is Yoda gonna be available...lol
