They said during EAPlay that they don't plan to implement G12 "anytime soon". A lot of players struggle with just G10. They said exclusive gear for Territory Battles. Exclusive gear=raid gear so far. There is no need for G12, so pls stop

Speaking for myself, I get squad/fleet arena rank-1 at pay out every day. HAAT completes in one hour, this game becomes a daily routine thing for me, I gonna quit playing if nothing come out next, can't wait for the TB.
Territory battles by itself will add something new to the game but if it's not designed for gear 12 or higher characters it will get old quite fast for a lot of people. Like the raids which are designed for the gear levels they reward gear for territory battles are likely to do the same.
Also it wasn't a planned announcement at ea play, eajesse was put on the spot when mobilegamer accidentally geared Thrawn up to gear 12 while live streaming so as eajesse was not allowed to talk about gear 12 so he didn't have to talk about it he said it's not coming soon so I would not take it as gospel it's not coming soon.
What you need to realize is that everyone is not like you,i am a jan 2016 player but still have alot of goals:one of them is taking number one with a non-chaze team(i use resistance in arena),the other is getting 5m+total score in haat,so the game is far from boring for me
Doesnt mean its not boring atm for a huge part of the playerbase
Level cap increase and G12 are NOT "new stuff" - just more grind. New content is new stuff.
In game guild: TNR Uprising
I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help

This.
Unless you have all the toons at g11 maxed out, I don't see why would you want more levels and gear.
Not really.
The reason why I'm wanting G12 is because the arena is so stablised right now, every team can beat each other and even the kill order are fixed to me, that's boring.
Squad and fleet arena are the most fun parts for me. I don't really put too much attention to HAAT. I can do 1mil damage at the HAAT first rolled out, by now only 2mil:) working on my clones and resistance:)
This^^
We need new things to do not more of the same.
I'm open to it only because it's just the same thing, I will still do things the same way, so I guess I'm just no against it, not really for it.
The common theme I see when reading other threads about this is: people can't seem to take the heat and they want it to have an advantage they lost with the stale meta and they want arena to be easier. I love having more people to battle and more competition it's fun.
Yes arena finally got some diversity, so let's bring back the "only one team can be competitive" back. Very smart.
I'd value some balance between offense and defense far more.
But if G12 is coming with the territory battles they’ll be giving us new content AND a new grind and I still consider that a win. It’s a fresh challenge.
People really need to stop taking the Mobilegamer stream as proof of anything. The gear piece he hit to bring Thrawn to g12 was the same mystery gear we all see, but in dev builds, they can go to g12. We've seen pictures of other characters previewed in dev builds many months ago that also would have let you take a character to g12 as well. They also had hundreds of excess Thrawn shards, and you know that's not possible.
I didn't say that Thrawn being geared to gear 12 was proof that gear 12 is on the way I'm just pointing out that everyone is using eajesses comment to prove that gear 12 is not coming. His comment was not planned and was a reaction to a situation that could raise further questions and he nipped it in the bud by saying its not coming soon which may be true or may be because he was not allowed to talk about gear 12.
And it doesn't mean that it is, either.
"Huge part" is a real weasel word. You don't know how many people are playing, you don't know how many of them are at max level, you don't know how many of them are bored. There's a lot of complaining on the forum, but that's not a representative sample of players--it's not even a representative sample of people who regularly post on the forum.
We need more content (new raid).
We need lv 10 on the holo tables that provide more spots for gear that there's only one spot for at the moment.
A new lv increase on heists for more currency.
We need omega challenges that require unique toons like CUP or mob enforcer to be used to encourage deepening ones bench.
People can't be close to maxing all their collection yet and that's what the devs need to push to encourage.
Everyone has got just a few factions that are the top meta and think that's all that matters so they are bored.
Ewoks are the next rework. Next can be nightsisters. Then people will have more to work towards. Without incentive they are just bench warmers.
The issue is that it is the whales that fund the game. It is a game free from other advertisements. Without the whales, there wouldn't be a game. So they have to appease them. Running off F2P isn't really a factor. They aren't bringing much benefit in profits. If anything, I think that is the primary group of complainers.
And when everybody gets through the grind to gear their arena teams, arena is in the exact same state as it was before introducing the new gear.
I'm sure there are much better options to make the game more interesting on all facets, rather than introducing another brick wall, which, I assume, most people don't like and might actually find more frustrating than enjoyable.
This game is a big grind divided into micro grinds. Every button you push beside while in the matches is a grind. On paper it's nice to ask you want. What does new content entail though?
They have to keep the entire food chain healthy. If the plankton and shrimp die off, you will see a collapse of the entire ecosystem from the bottom up.
