@rorie: I have been playing since the first day it came out on Android and I have spent a total of $20 on the game on crystal subscriptions.
So far I have 5-7* star heroes, 3-6*, 5-5*, and I rank in the top 20 in arena daily, even finishing 1st a few times so it definitely is possible to stay competitive with those who spend hundreds and thousands even, even though they will always have an edge as they should with being able to have a more diverse squad to adjust for the meta game.
I came on here to message you direct but then saw this post so I could warn you after hearing your plans in the bombcast. I would strongly advise against using crystals on the chromium mega pack, and instead use the two 50 crystal energy refreshes for upgrading heroes gear levels, which has been shown in the official forums to have a bigger impact on a characters effectiveness than the stars, especially early on. Also if you can spare the 100 crystal refresh on the cantina you can use that to get quite a few shards for a single character you want to attain/level.
I know you want named characters but if you farm geonosian soldier from the first node of those first level in the cantina you will not regret it, he is one of the top 5 most powerful characters in early and late game, and just think of him as a tool to acquire the characters you want faster because he puts out major damage.
Also I would suggest sending me an invite so you could try out my high level heroes to help you progress and try before you farm since all mine were acquired through f2p channels.
