Why now?
So let's just try to recreate the timeline of the latest brilliant planning process: It's time to start planning a new raid. All in favor? AYE! Let's center it around Order 66. All in favor? AYE! ...
or it could be people are complaining about one of the central activity's in the game having a design premise that never for a moment included the ip it was based on
Gosh, the legacy raids, where all characters were permitted, must have had you people popping aneurysms left and right. SLKR fighting ancient Sith? Luke Skywalker vs Grievous? Bad Batch attacking Jabba's rancor? How about all the non-lore matchups in TB? How were Resistance members participating in the Battle of Geonosis? Don't even get me started on all the weird teams in conquest. Barriss Offee teaming up with Starkiller and Visas Marr? That's not what happened in the lore!!1!
In a word: lol
The problem is more so how CG are locking the raid behind all the latest shinies. It’s not very F2P friendly unless you’re already at the very top
Max score teams for the first tier (300k points):
Tarkin solo
Nest solo
Sana/Hondo duo
Trash JV with the right modding and strategy
That's 1.2mln points that don't require any of the new characters. All of the characters above are accelerated. Tarkin and Nest are super old and only require 100 kyros each to bring to relic level.
Let's say you have a small account and kyrotech is a big barrier for you. Get Tarkin and Nest to R5. That's 600k you can contribute to the guild raid score. 600k x 50 = 30mln guild score.
Hell, let's say even Enfys Nest is too titanic of an effort to make for you. Tarkin only.
Tarkin is a GL requirement (for LV). His shards are in Galactic War shipments, Squad Arena shipments, and Fleet shipments and probably other shipments too. He is one of the most easily accessible characters in the game. He only 100 kyrotech. Get him to R5 and put speed/potency mods on. Get both of his zetas.
300k on the lowest tier. 50 x 300k = 15mln guild score.
15mln = 2nd reward box (max mk1 tokens, includes mk2/3 tokens)
Tarkin + Nest = 30mln guild score
30mln = 4th reward box (max mk1 and 2 tokens, 1750 mk3)
If you are not willing to relic two super old characters for the guild raid, you are arguing in bad faith. There are very accessible options for even small accounts to put up a score for Order 66. You don't need the new characters at all.
