The weird new trend regarding future content
Speculation on future content of this game has always been one of the main points of discussion among this community. However, lately, every rumor I heard (Revan, Hux, new Capital ships...) includes speculation about specific toons required. I know Revan has been confirmed not to be coming, but everyone heard that we're going to need Sith Trooper & Sith Assassin, and some theories included HK47, Jedi Counselor, and Jedi Knight Guardian. Now I've seen people asking if FOE, FOSFTF, and KRU will be required for Hux, and a thousand other theories requiring specific toons to unlock.
Now, the only 2 toons I've seen that required anything more specific than a faction, are the Hero's Journey toons - CLS & JT Rey. The next closest requirement is Thrawn (who required 5 out of the 6 Pheonix toons) & the Chimera (5/6 rebel ships), and those 2 required a whole faction.
IMO, speculation is a fun process that can make this game more fun. I'm doing it all the time in my guild. But, can we please go back to more reasonable speculation? Not every new toon is going to be a Hero's Journey one. Revan, while awesome, isn't iconic enough to earn more than a legendary toon status (not a bad place to be - equal to R2, Yoda, and the Emperor? Quite a rank). Let's all remember how the game works and go back to speculating on a level that might actually happen. Otherwise, we'll always get disappointed.
