What paywalls?

Quick history

- Started in May 2017 and focused on ships because zetas seemed to be the in thing then.
- Went hard at Phoenix to unlock Thrawn because I loved the character from lore. Got him at 5*.
- Missed CLS unlock. Wasn’t even close. Got up to top 20 in squad with Tarkin lead with Thrawn, couldn’t sniff top 10.
- Spent $50 on JTR, got to #1 and found my shard chat. Also getting 1 in fleets.
- Found a good guild and got Traya relatively early. Focused on str teams and played most of them out for 1-3 place.
- Missed JKR because I finished off some teams like FO and NS instead of farming OR hard. Oops. Still got to 1 with Traya lead, but got my butt kicked overnight and it cost some refreshes to get back up.
- Got DR for free.
- Got Malak for free.
- Also have gotten all the legendaries for free at 7* first drop.
- Just unlocked General Skywalker for free because I was focusing on GTB squads for my guild, and GR toons for my fleet. Heard a rumor ShaakTi would be needed next big toon drop.

I definitely could have gotten JTR for free and JKR for free the first time around if I had farmed stuff I knew I should have instead of trying to fit something else in. You have to be pretty dedicated and focused, and the events have definitely gotten harder and harder, but they aren’t paywalled yet.

Not bragging because the attention and time I’ve given are pretty silly, but whatever - enjoyed the community, mostly enjoyed the game.

If you want to keep playing this game and play it at the upper levels, focus arena first and get 900 crystals a day, focus on placing high in the raids, try to use all your free and 50 crystal energy refreshes, never waste crystals on unnecessary arena or shop refreshes, farm marquees hard as soon as you can, and of course - MODS, MODS, MODS.

Maybe it’ll change, but as of this latest event - you CAN keep up for free and get all the toys.
