First. You are way off with your "This is just another entitlement complaint" thinking. It's not remotely the same. An estimate 2 year drip farm, when by the time most finish 20+ toons will be released making this 1 virtually useless, is definitely cause to voice some displeasure at the idea & change to the cadence.
So who is forcing you to farm it at the slowest possible pace? You get plenty of free crystals every day for squad arena, fleet arena, and dailies. Use some to get MT faster if you want her so badly and that "2 year drip farm" can get cut down significantly even for a f2p player.
I don't care about the change to cadence...its not like the devs had some written contract with you over it...they are free to change it.

Second. CLS was a breeze in comparison &, even if you factor in most ppl not getting him until the second time around, would be complete long before the current MT time estimates. (And by the way, your CLS bitterness shined thru clearly so slightly hypocritical)
CLS is ridiculously stupid compared to NS. You can just ignore MT if you don't want to run a NS squad, and if you want to run a NS squad well 4 out of the 5 you farm for MT are going to end up in your final squad so that is pretty awesome.
Farming out CLS? Minimum of 10 characters just to unlock him, and if you go that route you'll end up gearing up some rather junky characters you probably will have minimal use for these days outside of unlocking CLS. If you want to avoid gearing such characters by perhaps gearing Thrawn instead...then you need even more characters to avoid gearing up Thrawn instead of something less desirable.
CLS was a breeze if you already had a large roster...yeah. For a day one player to unlock CLS, it sucks. I'd rather farm out my 5 NS and start working on unlocking my uber NS than farm 5 empire toons and 5 rebels just to unlock CLS, whom will get thrown into a squad that uses maybe 2 of those previously farmed characters with him.

Third. "All you need to farm is the 5 current NS" was the basis for your vs CLS argument. Well, given TB and all the newer cantina farms & the fact that most never bothered with this worthless faction regardless of how long they played means that this is an extreme hassle to say the least. CLS farm on the other hand, even tho it required more toons, was far easier. Most players already had most of the toons needed & maybe needed 3 or 4 toons to complete the CLS event. And those toons all had previous use in the game making gearing & leveling not a complete waste of resources. This is against gearing & leveling the 5 existing NS, 3 of whom you prob won't even use in a NS team after acquiring the newer NS toons.
I think the bolded portion is why we disagree. If you are a newer player the 5 empire toons are an absolute kick in the nuts. First of all...a new player farming pretty much anything that isn't light side right now is hurting them badly in TB...which is obviously very important. Second...look at the empire toons. What do you think are the top 5? Maybe Vader, EP, Thrawn, Shoretrooper, and Deathtrooper? Hey guess what...those aren't things that a new player can just magically farm. Vader is a slow farm, EP and Thrawn need rebels(so +5 characters to your CLS farm for Phoenix), and Shore and Death troopers are high level 20 energy hard node and 16 energy cantina nodes, which aren't exactly quick farms and can't even be started til after you've been playing for a few months.
Basically if you want to hold out for the better empire toons you potentially are adding a lot of time on to how long it takes to get CLS...otherwise you will probably have to farm out some toons who aren't all that great right now who a lot of older players already had because they used to be more useful. Not so bad if you are an older player...absolute awful if you are newer...and to top it off...several of the ANH toons I wouldn't have bothered with if I didn't need them for CLS.

Fourth. You insinuate that those that have been playing the game longer than newer players shouldn't have an advantage when it comes to legendary toons being released. That reeks of entitlement. Exactly why shouldn't they get an advantage after their investment of time, effort, resources, ect ect...?
They do have an advantage. If you already had your NS squad farmed out you don't have to worry about farming them out going forward...its already done. I'm sure there are plenty of people who won't get their 10 MT shards when the monthly event starts because they have other higher priority farms on their plate. Older players will on average still get their MT before newer players.

I could continue but what's the point? This is another complaint post pretending to be anything but a complaint post... and this is enough to read as it is... but seriously, give me a break... you can't use this analogy to try and dismiss legitimate issues ppl have with this long farm plan.
Its not a complaint. I truly find this farm preferable to Wicket/MT being thrown into shops I already have plenty of other things to spend my currency in, hard nodes I have plenty to farm from, or Cantina nodes where I already have plenty of characters to farm and an endless amount of mods I could be farming if I was done with my Cantina character farms.

I'll ignore your over simplification of "A few crystals & $9.99 bundle", both of which are the anti ftp...
Go ahead and ignore the truth and get all upset over MT...its not hurting me any lol.
