The Marquee release structure owns bones.

If I recall when Phoenix squad was released it was entirely F2P farm with kanan and zeb in shops, hera and sabine in nodes, don't recall for ezra.
Same thing for R1 save for baze, I remember farming cassian, K2SO and jyn erso freely in shops ?
Phoenix yes. R1, kinda. I can't remember the exact mechanics, but I don't think Chirrut or Jyn made it into FTP spots at release. K2 was gifted to Droid users and iOS got to farm everything from scratch. Good times.
I'm not saying there isn't a case to be made to mix up the release methodology, but Marquee events are by far the fairest format we've had since the game began. Even if they did become farmable right from the start, personally I wouldn't abandon my current farms to work on them. So I'm still 3 - 4 months out from starting on anything new. With the marquee format I have the ability to plan on which toons I want to F2P versus the periodic P2P farming in which I participate.
Vandor toons haven't been released yet, so all this speculation they're only going to end up on a single hard node is a bit premature. Especially since all the toons that have made their way to a single hard node are meta or HSTR raid defining so I think it's fair they're in tough to farm locations.
^those comments aren't direct at you, I just jumped from responding to your R1 statement into a completely different topic / thought.
