For those of you who didn't know, people who had early access to battlefront 2 discovered that most of the heroes are locked behind in-game paywall. Hallmark heroes Luke and Vader costs 60k in-game credits. the avg amount of credits earned by players were around 200-300 each match. This calculates to grinding for 40 hours for EITHER Luke or Vader! And keep in mind, there are other heroes ocked for 20 and 40k. This means to unlock ALL heroes, you need to grind for 100+ hrs.
Here's where the calculations were done:https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsBattlefront/comments/7c6bjm/it_takes_40_hours_to_unlock_a_hero_spreadsheet/
It goes without saying, but people were pissed. The reddit page were filled with anger and complaints.
EA had an official response, and it is the most downvpted comment in the reddit history(yes, the ENTIRE reddit domain)

Now, EA is claiming they will make adjustments accordingly, but the fact that iconic heroes are locked behind grinds is ridiculous.
We probably should've seen this coming when "No season passs" was announced
