Why is Carth Onasi in Ships Hard Nodes?

I couldnt even get together 1 meta because by the time you finish one you are alredy behind with 4 unless you are pay 2 win or alredy extremly high gp. Its the worst design if you look at it from the standpoint of someone not at 4million gp. You cant even properly finish an IT squad or something general as that just because its marquee on top marquee followed by legendary after legendary.

1st time chewbacca came in i missed it got him the 2nd time g12 zeta all that, by that time revan alredy destroyed the entire game so no chance to move forward. Than came c3po which i will get for the 2nd time but now darth revan will come so there will be nowhere to go again. Meanwhile try to get the falcon, which is probably the worst farm ever, much worse than veterans could ever be and since i was farming for other legendarys i need to start on farming ls revan still.

Thats the f2p problem currently. People with 30k+ crystals stacked up who say are f2p are full of crap.

It's true that quite many legendaries came one after the other. However, it's hardly a bad design. There are other problems, for sure, but not this one.
Unless you want to spend huge amounts on this game, you need to skip 1-2 metas every once in a while and save for the next one. That's what I'm doing.
If everybody could obtain every top tier toon with relative ease the first time they come around, there would be no point in spending. And spenders keep the game going, after all.

There are some valid points here, but at same time I disagree a bit. CG are trying to cater for new/old players and P2W/F2P so they are doomed to fail whatever they do as one group will always be unhappy.
The long term players from near launch (myself included) can farm or get very close to farming new toons in time for new meta without spending, but still challenging. I didn’t get chewie, Revan, 1st time but was close.
New players shouldn’t expect/complain/demand to be able to get the newest meta after 5 minutes gameplay. As that would be unfair on long term players. This isn’t a quick game it’s a long term interest game.
If people can afford to buy there way to the top quickly we just have to accept and do our own thing, it’s frustrating sometimes but this game isn’t just about chasing metas, so many other areas to go for. I will skip separatist droid panic farms for now and comeback to them at later date for example.
It’s all about strategy and choices. Sometimes I chase meta as I like toon or feel they are must have, other times I bide my time and focus on my own roster development for longer term plans or benefit of my guild.
And a good guild with good group makes massive difference in enjoyment of the game. Banter and fun in guild helps a lot, always enjoy chatting with guild mates and sharing tips.
Just need to accept what you can realistically achieve without siending thousands and focus on overall roster development/interests, you will be less frustrated and enjoy game more.

P.S haters I’m F2P played 3 years, top 50 in both arenas, guild has all raids on farm?
