Close the legendary flask please
You did it CG, you proved that we shouldn't complain about Marquee events when you opened the flask and let the legendaries come out. Now we find ourselves back in the situation where we're being forced to farm specific factions for certain characters and it hurts.
I sincerely hate the idea of WASTING my gear with ewoks. You can try to convince me that ewoks are awesome and you can use them here and there, but I don't really care if they are good or not, I just never cared to gear them up because I simply dislike them...
You are now forcing us to gear them because if we don't, then we don't get 3PO. And I don't really care for 3PO either, he's a trashy character to me but then I'm pretty certain at this point that at this rate we're most likely going to need 3PO for some other legendary character who I will most likely want to have.
This situation is very frustrating because I don't want YOU to dictate what I must do. I want to be in charge of my account and make my own choices of who I farm and who I gear and now I can't because your legendaries are dictating what I have to do in order to be secure about a potential Jedi Luke or Anakin.
This is very disappointing because I hate the idea that the entire community is being forced to work and grind for the same thing and deprived of the ability to make choices for themselves. So stop this legendary nonsense and allow us to have choices, we don't like ewoks and gear isn't exactly abundant so every single piece I waste on them actually hurts my brain. Thanks.

Plenty of people like Ewoks. People need to stop acting like they speak for the whole world. And you should know by now that requiring various (and frequently underutilized) factions/characters for certain events is how the game works. I figured that out about two weeks in.
Personally, I still think events requiring factions that have been around a while (Chewie and Threepio) are a whole lot better than events tied to those marquee characters (Revan and Thrawn).
Then those who like them can go ahead and give them all their gear and zetas. I don't see why I have to be forced to do it
I mean the speculation is that ewoks will be required at a high gear level similar to bounty Hunters for Chewbacca. I wouldn't mind it if gear 8 would cut it, but it most likely wont and I am in no mood to get them to gear 11...
You aren't.
Strawman fallacy right there
Because that’s how the game works, which is exactly what I said. That’s how it has worked since I started playing, at the least. If you want to participate in certain events, you need certain characters, even if you don’t like them. This is nothing new. If you resent it that much, this might not be the right game for you.
We'll yes I am. That's what I hate about tieing characters to one another. Like I mentioned if Jedi Luke requires 3PO then wouldn't I be forced to get 3PO if I want to have Luke?
Huh?
Noone is forcing you to do anything. You don't like Ewoks and don't want 3PO? Then move on and finish gearing whatever toon you wish. CG isn't reaching out and twisting your arm to do anything. I don't care for the OR faction either and ignored them when the Raven announcement came. Does that mean I'm mad at CG for requiring those toons to unlock a meta character? No, it means I didn't get him this time around and maybe not even the next but I still enjoy the game because I'm not a big negative Nancy that feels like the world should revolve around me. The real world is similar if you haven't faced it yet. Things aren't always to your liking and sometimes you just have to buckle the f*** up and get used to it.
I don't necessarily mind a 1 to 1 tie between characters. But then as it turns out it's almost never 1 to 1. Because the one character is required for another which then is required for another. So for example R2 requires 5 empire characters. CLS requires R2 so CLS requires 5 empire characters. That makes CLS require 9 characters instead of just 5. Similarly JTR requires BB8 who requires FO so JTR requires FO. That's my issue
This is normal and natural.
The alternative is for the game to stagnate.
That's bad.
If you don't like the new content, you don't have to pursue it. If you have priorities that are more important to you than the new content, you can continue those previous priorities. That doesn't make the new content bad.
Exaggerating my position to prove your point
You sure seem unhappy with the game based on your threads, Possibly you need to re-evaluate how you play the game.
Ewoks have been around forever. Wicket is the only legitimate end game farm to deal with. They have utility all over the game, especially in TW where they can murder Revan or be a solid defensive team. It’s not a waste.
Here’s the thing. Legendaries encompass F2P and P2P alike. F2P and don’t want to pour too much into the required faction? Get 5*, g8 (which is insanely easy for Ewoks) and enjoy the 5* unlock. Theory craft, tinker and see if you need the legendary for a hero journey or ship. P2P/long time F2P? Enjoy the 7* unlock and usage in raids and all aspects of the game and being prepared for future releases.
Honestly I’m one of the most critical of CG in these forums but doing exactly what the player based asked for (less marquee and more legendary) isn’t cause for criticism. Especially when the requirements are for factions that have been around since launch with virtually no spending needed.
You're ignoring the fact that down the road 3PO will most likely be required for another hero's journey which means I won't really have a choice but to aquire him. You're acting as if my problem is 3PO alone. I'm fine with him coming to the game, I just don't want him to be required for a legendary later on
Oh ok lol. No exaggeration in your post. Not one bit
I pointed out his exaggeration what does that have to do with anything?
It is exactly that: SPECULATION! Don't gear them up until you figure out exactly how high you need to farm them. Just saying, if you maybe hold your gear until the event, play it a couple of times, and then figure out exactly what level you will need for them, then you won't end up in a situation where you put gear 11 gear on an ewok (that you apparently hate) where gear 8/9 would have sufficed. Just wait until the event becomes live, and you will not regret making any choices. And just saying, I know that you hate ewoks for whatever reason (I couldn't care less about that), but they are not a terrible faction, and you would do well to farm them, and you might thank yourself for the farm if they turn out to be a good TB/TW team (like they are), and it would be an extra team to use now in Grand Arena. Just my 2 cents.
Then don’t farm Ewoks and pray you won’t need Threepio for JKL, I guess. Or you could, I dunno, revel in the panic gearing like the rest of us are doing.
Seriously, if you’ve been working on gearing G11 characters to G12, it can be really refreshing how fast the progress seems going from G8 to G9.
I didn't want Old Ben to be required for CLS, but it happened. There was probably a lot of people that didn't want to have to get BB8 for JTR, but again it happened. You have options: 1) stop playing the game 2) don't worry about the 3PO requirements and keep playing the game 3) keep whining about things you can't control
As and adult (I'm assuming), number 3 shouldn't be an option but alas, I've managed enough people in my career to know better.
Saying "I have no choice if I want Character X" does not mean you have no choice.
In any case, the Ewoks aren’t called “murder bears” for no reason.. they are incredible useful in Territory Battles and Territory Wars. Properly geared up they can defeat Revan... it’s fine to not like them. I’m pretty sure CG nor any of us care how you feel about them personally but the fact CG is giving them more use is a good thing. One can only assume they will do a character that needs Jawas to unlock.
You don't have to drop everything to panic farm for the new legendary. You can go at whatever pace you choose.
That said, some characters have prerequisites. That's nothing new. You get the prerequisites, you do the event, you get the character. That's the structure of the game.
It's not that you're forced to farm. Farming is a part of the game. It's what we're playing, here.
I still haven't even done CLS yet, won't be doing Rey ever. Chewie when I finally get a stun cuff windfall (seriously, how many?) etc etc.
I'd love something worthwhile to do with my Sith collection, but no.
