They have changed the way we play the game without changing the way that the game regenerates. The amount of gear we currently get was fine last summer, but they have added so many toons that are required to do certain events. They have changed the way that we play.
R2 came out and people rushed to farm enough Empire toons beyond EP and Zader. Phoenix squad came out and people were underwhelmed. Then they were required for Thrawn. Wicket came out and people rushed to gear Ewoks. CLS came out and people had to rush to gear ANH toons. It is no longer about resource managementwithin The game. The game has now become focused on the haves and the have not.
If you want to participate in all that is offered, open up the piggy bank or you would have had to have been an original player to have the needed toons. It is not possible just with regular game play and a few bucks here and there being spent to keep up with the demands of the game. I am reaching the point where i don't feel like I am making progress anymore. At some point, they have to change the mechanics of the game to make it enjoyable again for players and less like a job.
Hopefully sooner than later for the game's sake
