For the most part, farms aren't made easier for this game. Rare exceptions include NS zombie/spirit, when ppl didn't like that they could only get 14 shards everytime an event ran, and the devs eventually decided that it was indeed a bad structure.
But even for characters that have pretty much fallen into disuse, they aren't made easier to farm. Look at toons like Shore, Baze, Jyn, and likely a dozen other a hard nodes or cantina farms for older toons.
Back in the day, old players had it worse than you have it now, but locations of how/where you can farm your units rarely change
