Has anyone thought that perhaps the devs know that Wiggs is a little out of hand, they planned it this way only so they could release a suitable counter in shoretrooper that will force people to continue to chase and spend? I would bet that shoretrooper was planned long before the Wiggs Synergy became a problem because they planned it to happen that way. Shoretrooper won't necessarily be behind a paywall but you will have to win to get him.

Lol

He's going to be behind the biggest pay wall the game has ever seen. You can only get his shards by getting 'top rank' (via pvp datamine) and to do that in the new tourney, you'll likely have to pay an obscene amount of crystals on refreshes to stay on top. You can't just pay a bit to get him, you have to pay for better toons, better mods, and more refreshes than 1000s of others trying to do the exact same.

Whole lot of speculation in what you wrote. I will speculate too:) Maybe the top 100 will get shards? Maybe the top 10 will get full 7* characters? Maybe there will be only 500 in each bracket?. Maybe, just maybe they will make it relatively easy to get him because it is increadibly hard to gear him (more refreshes=$$). Maybe he will be like Yoda or Emperor, if you are able to either buy your way or have a big enough roster to get a certain position in the tournament, you get him? We still don't know enough about the tourney to say for sure. You could be right I suppose. I would guess though that named characters from Rogue One will take precedent behind that pay wall than a random no name character (even if he has an interesting kit). They may want to change the Wiggs/Lando meta to really make more characters viable by making this one easily available?
