The frustration was that platoons were first shown to us as a way to utilize our entire roster. Instead it's giving up wedge biggs, leia, lando, baze, chirrut about 30 times and having one jedi consular.
Exactly. That’s the irritating thing about platoons. They are not “using” your roster, they are specifically preventing the use of your roster.
I don’t know what the idea behind the platoons is. Is it to make the missions more random and challenging by forcing players to do the missions without certain characters? Is that fun? And if almost everyone doesn’t have the characters in the first place, what does that achieve?
Or is it to give passive advantages in missions for players who spend a lot of money to get a big roster and who do not mind being unable to play with the characters they paid for? I’m not sure I know anybody who thinks like that. Surely you want to use your roster even more if you just paid for it. Certainly in my guild last DS TB players were really unhappy that every one of our 7* Talzins had to be platooned to help the guild. That definitely wasn’t fun.
Platoons, I’m afraid, are just a flawed idea. They detract from the game whichever way you look at it.
