This is a serious question. You see a lot of ire here on the forums about people complaining that they don't have advance notice and that they "deserve" to know what will be required to unlock characters months in advance of their release (Luke, anyone? Thrawn?).Listen, I'm F2P. I didn't get Thrawn on either of my accounts. I don't have a 7* R2. I didn't get 7* Palpatine the first time around. I literally JUST got Yoda to 7*...and you know what?It's okay.You don't have to get legendary characters the first time around, and nobody is obligating you to spend money to do so. While they are powerful, none of them are game-breaking or prevent you from doing things in this game you couldn't otherwise do.I will have Phoenix 7* for when Thrawn returns, and I will have my TFP to 7* when R2 returns. It's okay to have to set goals and work to achieve those goals, and not be handed everything.I have played a ton of mobile games (Dragon Age, Brave Frontier, FFBE, FFRK, etc.) and SWGOH is BY FAR the most forgiving in terms of attaining "legendary" content, and doesn't rely on gacha packs for you to get what you want.If you want Thrawn, it's okay to have to work for him. Would you prefer they just put him in a limited-time pack with a 1% chance of unlocking, and a 99% chance of Mob Enforcer shards? Because that's how MOST games would do it.EA/CG almost always gives you a way to pay to get what you want as well. If you REALLY wanted a 7* Thrawn, you could whale away and buy the shards if you were ill-prepared, just like you will undoubtedly be able to do with the new Luke or upcoming Ewok content.I am legitimately curious as to why people think it is "unfair" of a game developer to not give everything to you without paying.We (players) are Lando. They are Darth Vader. And guess what? It's okay.

Because i want them and i want them now

Good post. Just commenting so it stays up top and more people get to see it.

Have you played any other game? This game gives you scraps and then slaps you in the face with them. The amount of "giveaways" in this game (and trust me, I love this game) pales in comparison to others. No one is asking for a handout, just to allow us to earn characters without having to pay for everything (ex: Phoenix Squadron for Thrawn).It's ok for you, sure. You're apparently new. I'm a day 1 player that competes in the top 20 in arena. Some of us care about being competitive. If that's not you, cool. Don't trash others.

What about people who feel they should probably communicate more, but not because they feel entitled.There have been several reasonable posts asking for information and just plain communication about events and toon release.Is that ok?

Why do people feel entitled to every character?

Yes!

And think alot of efforts are going into making that better, not perfect but better. Alot of new things and engagement activities are happening in sub forums/acadmey along with those dev announcements!

Very true.

We appreciate you and all your effort.

+1 Communication is really what we all want regarding events and release dates for anything that might be coming to the game. I don't really care about getting characters on release as I will get them eventually on my own pace. The communication is nonexistent and their efforts recently just aren't good enough but I do notice that they are trying.

Yes, it's okay for you. That is your choice.

You don't have to get legendary characters the first time around, and nobody is obligating you to spend money to do so. While they are powerful, none of them are game-breaking or prevent you from doing things in this game you couldn't otherwise do.

Thrawn was okay, you can get by without him. Luke? Whole different ballgame. Some players have been waiting since 2015 to get him. Surely you can understand the hype and the backlash how the Thrawn event was handled? In case you didn't know, that backlash seemed to have positive effect. There has been more communication, though far from perfect.

I will have Phoenix 7* for when Thrawn returns, and I will have my TFP to 7* when R2 returns. It's okay to have to set goals and work to achieve those goals, and not be handed everything.

Sure.

I have played a ton of mobile games (Dragon Age, Brave Frontier, FFBE, FFRK, etc.) and SWGOH is BY FAR the most forgiving in terms of attaining "legendary" content, and doesn't rely on gacha packs for you to get what you want.

Cool.

If you want Thrawn, it's okay to have to work for him.

You're repeating yourself. Am I correct in assuming what you're trying to do is basically shut up those who ask for clear, concise communication about game direction?

EA/CG almost always gives you a way to pay to get what you want as well. If you REALLY wanted a 7* Thrawn, you could whale away and buy the shards if you were ill-prepared, just like you will undoubtedly be able to do with the new Luke or upcoming Ewok content.

I am legitimately curious as to why people think it is "unfair" of a game developer to not give everything to you without paying.

Who thinks this? Name fingers and point names. I want to know.

We (players) are Lando. They are Darth Vader. And guess what? It's okay.

Speak for yourself. That is your philosophy, not everyone's.

People aren't constantly asking for characters like Kenobi because he is always available, Thrawn however won't be back for six or so months so have fun waiting for him. I don't think people feel entitled to the characters but rather the information about them when it's being withheld

I saw the original SW in theaters on it's first run. My dad took me to see it at the Riverside Theater in Grants Pass, Or. As we walked out of the theater, my young mind blown, my dad turned to me and said, "you know Darth Vader is Luke's father, right?"

Everything else from that point on has pretty much been gravy...

People complaining that they don't have enough credits cause they are working on 26 characters at the same time and "need 600 of some gear cause all their characters need stun cuffs.

You ever see somebody try to give a sanctimonious speech that nobody asked for? And, since he has neither prestige nor authority, everybody just turns around and walks away?

That's you!
