There is no video game on the planet that makes the best end-game characters easy for F2P to get. The Revan event was not high in difficulty.....this one, like the Chewie one, was higher in difficulty because the characters that can be used for the event have been farmable for a long time.

People keep pointing out to the fact that Bounty Hunters and Ewoks have been in the game for a while which somehow justifies the difficulty of these events. I disagree, the game is built on the principle of resource management and careful use of gear, ability materials and energy. There was never a legitimate reason tto justify sinking resources into a weak class like the ewoks. I wouldn't expect anyone with resource management skills to have invested past g8 for this faction. Asking us to hop 2-3 gear tiers for 5 characters in just a few days is absurd

Legitimate reasons to gear Ewoks, before C-3PO events.

- EE is the only toon that can revive allies across factions and also one of the best cleanser, one of the first plug and play toon.
- Paploo is one of the best tank with a fake pretaunt and above all one the few toons that dispel reliably (DN, Nest and SF are the other). zPaploo and EE have great synergies and can be used in any faction.
- Ewok Scout is an easy gearing (I used him for Logray) and provides on more attacker for P3 HSTR.
- Ewoks are one of the few teams that don’t rely exclusively on speed and hence provide an advantage for TW when you fight preloaded TM teams.
- Chirpa was required for P3 HAAT back in the old days, same for Teebo.
- Finally, in the level of resource management skill, once the Chewie event was released, anyone could predict that event requiring an old faction would be difficult. Hence if one cared about having the last legendary toon, one should hedge himself and stock enough gear/crystal for such surprise event.

Revan’s event though, that was a P2W event.
