Just so we're clear. I am not complaining as I knew I had no shot at Revan to begin with because I never got to farm OR. As a f2p myself I am in no way able to jump on something because of hints. I don't do anything without concrete information, and Revan, while I like the character a lot, is not someone I'm going to drop everything for when there are far more useful toons to be had.

I myself, do not expect anything from CG/EA as they are doing what they think is best.

I was simply stating my idea would eliminate a lot of the 'noise' people are making about how things work.

I also clearly stated why it would never actually happen.

I also ended that post with why people just need to let go and play the game in the way you want to play it, and try to enjoy what you can out of it.

CG should make an event with a new toon that only players under lvl 60 can get first time around to even it all out.

I don't get the butthurt over this issue. Oh my God I have to spend to get revan first time around. How is this any worse than CLS or JTR? If you've been around for either of those releases then you should have seen this coming. Actually this will be easier than those two because both of the required teams had one character that wasn't farmable (R2 and BB8). The whole Revan team is farmable. Imagine if you had to build up some old Sith team just to get Bastila. This isn't some little indie game that is someone's passion project. It's a massive game made by a massive company and they want to make money. Either pay for Revan or just farm for the second go around (which is what I'm doing) and stop the complaining.

Your point doesn't really fit. FO toons were out long before those were needed for bb8 so it actually acts as one less req since you can get 1 out of 5 from a faction you already have. Or at least could have had if you chose to farm them. Jtr took me until the 3rd time because i worked on other priorities first but it was possible to get them ftp if you already focused of fo prior to that.

And your at least they didn't req sith too, is just dumb. That would have been better for many that already have a viable sith team as it would only be 4 toons to farm not 5.

I'm sure the devs understand what a horsecrap maneuver this was. It most likely wasn't their decision to make. It's probable that the decision was made by people who've never played the game and never will. The people who code the game don't control how content is released when you're talking about a company as big as EA.

I think they overplayed their hand thinking players would spend on revan no matter what because well it's revan. Now their in a no win situation. Revan isn't op enough the people who did spend will be upset. Revan is too op people who couldn't afford him or are f2p will be upset. Hopefully they can find a happy medium where both groups are happy.

Making him OP makes the most sense. Revan is one of the most powerful Jedi in his era and when CLS dropped, he was OP for his time. Same thing for Thrawn. Making someone very powerful and making him unavailable for months if you don't fork up is nothing new.

Yeah but they also want people to still spend to gear up hstr teams. If they make him to OP, then traya becomes less valuable and people spend less on that.

There is nothing to be upset about this event.
I heard people complaining about Veterans bundle not being available but I have just seen it in store and it is the same price as two two-player bundles for OR characters. Difference is that all 5 OR toons are (IMO) much better and more useful than either of Veterans.

@Austin09370 Can you explain how it's naive? I basically said it would never come to pass, but it could alleviate some of the frustration the player base has.

People pay to be the best. If paying didn’t make them the best because they were only competing against others who paid, they wouldn’t pay anymore.

Exactly.

Personally, I always thought this game would be so much better as a subscription game. Probably not near as popular or profitable though.
