I didn't facepalm for making a bad decision. I was angry that they made shards that easy to get, which hasn't been the case for any other marquee character that I can think of.
He seemed to be following the cadence, so I knew he'd be farmable about now, but I was pretty mad they threw him in cantina 3. I must admit, i sort of saw it coming though, as all of the higher cantina and hard nodes are full, but it seemed like a bit of a slap in the face to make it that easy after setting a long precedence of these types of characters being very long f2p grinds to get. I only spent money based on that precedence.
Still got a toon i like a lot, and a bit early. It didn't break the bank on it, got most of the shards saving free crystals, but the one time I spend money for a toon (since Nihilus) it gets turned into almost a complete waste? Lesson learned. I won't be shelling out anything again.
Except for Revan. Make Revan so I can give you my money CG. Please.
