Yes I do concede the while it is not as far reaching as those updates were as far as the involuntary requirement 6 stars and skill increases became, this current gift and possibly more like it in the future will be the equivalent in the optional side of things.
Obviously the fact that these gifts are optional and that f2p players get the benefit of having a guild of C2P, Dolphins and Whales in their guilds makes these astronomically better than the aforementioned crap storm that was the skill cost increase but it still seems rather silly to have a hero so easily obtainable be the guild gift during their 2 year anniversary. At the very least make it Minnie so that way it is thematic.
Before people say anything, yes I know this isnāt a specifically designed guild gift for the 2 year anniversary but it will be remembered as such due to the timing of it all.
