So many players complaining that they won't have the vets 7* for Rey...
Guys! Be happy!
Since the vets were released on cantina nodes, I have spent every single cantina energy on them. I refreshed the cantina *3 times every day*. And I am ages from having them 7*. Am I mad? Nope.
Why?
If, with 3 refreshes a day from day 1, you can't have Rey, it means that no F2P can have her. 300 crystals every day is already much more than your average F2P Joe can afford. This means the only players who will have Rey are pay-to-win players. Players for whom spending ridiculous amounts of money in a mobile game is nothing to them. Point is: they won't bother you that much in arena.
This game has long gone from a merit-based reward system, to a pure "give me thousands of $$$ and I'll give you the power to crush others so you feel like a much better player than them, even though you really only have more money and you're still terrible at core".
So be happy. No matter how OP she is. Just get prepared for next round, and accept that every player you see with a Rey high in arena just has more money.
I can see already 2 kinds of people coming over:
- the kind "of course F2P players can have her! All you had to do was to prepare, you knew with the movie coming there would be something! You should have stockpiled 900k crystals like me and you'd be fine". Yeah, ok, thanks for that. I will think about that next time: pausing my game for an entire year for the hope of maybe having something later.
- the kind "stop expecting to have everything day 1" people. Who would be right, provided there was no pay-to-win option. But the fact that there is one transforms the game into P2W rather than "be patient and work hard".
