I really don't see why people are getting so worked up.
How is this any different from any other Pay To Win event they have previously run? So you won't get Darth Malak this time around, so what? You can farm the required characters over the next few months and get him next time.
Why is your inability to get a character the moment it is released being equated with the death of the game?

If this game is to survive, it needs to keep introducing new ways to spend money. Only a small fraction of players spend and once they've bought a character they're not going to do so again. So then what? Do CG sit around and hope someone else comes along to buy the character? Or do they introduce new characters for people to buy?
What is the problem here?? Seriously.

Yes, I would love to get myself to the top 50 in the Squad Arena every day without ever spending money. But we know that's not possible. So why get upset every time we're reminded of that fact?

No one has a problem with them making money to keep the game running....NO one.

But when you have a Game mode like GA that locks you in a bracket with 7 malaks or Revans or Trayas or any of the god teams and you have none of those teams.... it's a waste of a week.

See Arena was where the whales could beat up on the nobodies... but now there are too many whales all whaling for that top spot...so they all complain how bad arena is with mirrors blah blah.

So literally it seems like the GA matchmaking included a clause where 25-50% of each group of 8 must include people who have no chance to win a match ZERO.... This allows the whales to get the satisfaction of embarassing someone.... Let's them know their investments and future investments are worth it.... is what it is
