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.
You must be new here. I mean literally - new on the planet Earth. Just a few years back such terms as "f2p", "monetization" or (random) "loot box" didn't exist. You could buy a game, play it and have a time of your life without spending another dime. If you didn't manage, you could always cut the corners typing iddqd, idkfa or buy a magazine, use a hex editor to mess with save files.
This is generation X designing and consuming. Overworked, brainwashed, always in a hurry. No wonder someone figured that if someone spends one hour playing the game but make 30$ instead working, he might pay 10$ to "speed up the entertainment".
If 25 years ago someone was selling random cheat codes for "Doom" in envelopes on the street 10 bucks a pop, he would be put in a mental clinic, probably same cell as his customers. Now, look where we are...
People are willing to pay the price being offered, though. That's how a market works, supply and demand. If people weren't buying, they wouldn't be selling.
I'm not saying I like it. I very much don't, and would vastly prefer to return to the days of paying 50 bucks for a game, and then maybe another 20 for an expansion pack. But until people learn impulse control - which is likely never - it isn't gonna happen.
