With the rework of Tarkin, I've been experimenting with different lineups where he works best. I hate that I have to use arena battles to do this. I know, arena refreshes = crystals = money for EA, but a practice mode would greatly increase the average time playing the game and I know EA cares about that metric.
Before anyone suggests using GW, I don't get a battle nearly hard enough for an actual test until node 6 and it's pretty annoying to try to think about not using any characters I potentially want to test in nodes 1-5 to avoid pre-loading their TM.

Skirmish against guild mates or Ally list. They could even try to meet us in the middle and monetize it with X number of free fights a day and then crystals to refresh.
With the proliferation of toons this is overdue.
You already have 5 practices a day and for a low 50 crystals, you have 10 practices a day in arena! Plus you choose your opponents to practice against too so... At this point you should have a few A1 teams so despite the fact you mentionned you hate this, which isn't a valid argument, it's rather easy to use an alternate team for GW 1-5 and then use the team you want to test in the hard nodes.
I don't see the practice mode happens unless one day they implement guild wars aka Clash of Clans, then giving free practice via friendly skirmish with guildies could make sense (maybe that's the new game mode in june?). Otherwise, that would simply go against their business model...
