That means eventually everyone can access the HOL glads.

Think of the time spent earning your first HOL glad as padawan-training and it's not so bad. If you use trophies for the doubling of training points and arena tokens you can retire a glad in about two months or so...
I understand what you are saying but this game is already decidedly slow paced, then your telling new players they can look at 2 months of "padawaning" at least even if they pay is a lot to ask.

Think of it as something to aspire towards, not a roadblock.

Good luck in the Pit!

Yea I get that but ultimately when you boil it down my non Hol guys are at a disadvantage. Part of its human nature as you referred to earlier in the thread but I really can't help but think no matter what I do the guys I'm using atm don't have the same potential.
