Sad about the C3PO event

This game is built around requiring a variety of factions and specific characters for different purposes. Sometimes those factions/characters are useful for other purposes as well and sometimes they largely aren’t (e.g. Vets, Hoth Bros). New players can’t expect to have everything at once. You have to choose your priorities in this sort of game. Many veteran players have to make similar choices because they don’t have everything ready either. But giving people an incentive to work on things they might otherwise ignore is one of the primary ways the game makes money.
