The Marquee release structure owns bones.
Releasing characters via Marquee event is the best thing to happen to this game. You get the character to 3* for free, you get a chance to test them out with any squad, you get a bunch of mods that yo...

While I think Marquee events are fine, there is a structural problem with how the game has evolved.
To use a character now, it NEEDS stars. Back in the days, you needed stars only for two things: raids and legendary characters. I don't really agree with the first part even, but it kind of makes sense for legendaries.
Fast forward to today: you need 7 (!!) stars for Gear 12, which is such a standard and requirement for arena now that even something as powerful as Sion, Enfys Nest or BB8 below 7-stars is enough reason to attract attackers for a quick and easy victory. In addition, you need those stars for TB and Mythic events, not to mention that the need to use them in raids is even bigger than it ever was.
So, a few things:
1) Gear 12 should not require 7 stars. It never should have.
2) If you buy the pack for a character, you should be able to use it in all events and raids regardless of the stars.
3) Stars 5, 6 and 7 should have a bigger impact on character power.
Yep, that's sure going to be an unpopular opinion, but I think it would be good for the game.
