Wicket/Talzin farming...I don't understand the complaints.

I was really looking forward to making big strides of getting wicket to 7* remotely soon. I want to play with the ewoks because I like them. Now it will take forever because you need wicket and I can't g12 him until I get him to 7*. They didn't even bring back the 1299 packs so I could whale him if I wanted. I was very dissapointed.
