Just because you're paid a lot of money for something doesn't mean that there should be nothing else that competes.
Incorrect.
If what they paid for gets destroyed by something old and ftp why would they continue spending?
And it's not just a free counter...it's an easy gear counter. Nobody is complaining Grevious is a counter because it takes zetas and gear. Anakin is an easy gear character.
I understand those that don't pay attention to resource management want to compete like they do but when you destroy reward for effort then nobody has a reason to put any effort in and there is no game..just collecting.
Also Incorrect.
First off, for JKAnakin to work, he needs to be in a team with JKR lead - which is hardly and "easy gear counter". Secondly, most of the comps need him to run with Jolee, and either GMY or Hoda (both of whom are "specialty" characters in their own right) and possibly GK or Bastila. Incidentally, that team is not near a 100% counter - it is still very RNG-dependent - especially at high levels.
Thirdly, your assertion that no one is complaining about Grevious counters is also incorrect. Several Malak owners have pined that he should hold on defense against anything except Malak mirrors. Which, has never been the case in the game before - teams never hold on defense.
Those that spent on Malak feel entitiled that he should be the first - the "chosen one" if you'll pardon the pun. He's simply the latest p2p toon ain a long line of them...all of whom have counters. And not ones that were sold 3 months later. JKR is beatable by CLS. Traya is beatable by Thrawn comps - ironically, most are beatable by the previous meta slightly tweaked....just like DR is beatable by JKR + Anakin. Or JTR + KRU or Grevious. In fact if they leave it alone as is (i.e. don't nerf Anakin) then it would be consistent with every other p2p release in recent history. It's only if they nerf Anakin are they, as the OP's thread title suggests, setting a bad precedent. And a game direction that is inconsistent with the way they have run it for 3+ years.
The game does not exist without whales and dolphins. But if the whales and dolphins are the only ones left, it dies as well. Whales don't want to only fight other whales - they want to have an advantage and devour plankton. If you don't believe me, look at the reaction to the "all JKR" meta - that's what it would look like if only whales remained.
