I started off in the first few months farming who I wanted, like Ewoks, and Nightsisters, because they were cool. I then realised that much newer players were killing me with their Wiggs and Sith that I hadn't put anything into. I still haven't unlocked Dooku in almost a year of playing, and I can never stay in the top 500 of the Arena. But now I do what we have to do, not what we want to do, and finally have Wiggs, and a Sith team etc. But because we have so many different groups or characters we must farm, it becomes an absolute chore...
Saying we have had a year to farm First Order is irrelevant when taking into account all the other characters we're forced to farm too if we want to participate in events, or be useful in Hoth etc. We don't exactly have a choice of what to get if we want to compete.
