Time to do something about the time(consumption)
First of, great news about the Territory Battles, really hyped for them.
BUT (there is always a but)
The issue of time spent on the game have been everywhere on the forums for months. The QoL patch gave us a little breather, but more is needed.
Below is my estimates describing time consumption for high level players that is average or more serious about the game:
This combines into a whole lot of time each day (1+ hour). Good time, but still a lot of time.
There is several easy ways to cut down on this.
Things like the ones above would improve the satisfaction with the game, give us time to have fun with the elements we prefer and make room for new stuff (which we all crave).

The issue of time spent on the game have been everywhere on the forums for months. The QoL patch gave us a little breather, but more is needed.
Below is my estimates describing time consumption for high level players that is average or more serious about the game:
- GW - takes from 10-45 minutes each day
- Arena takes from 5-20 minutes each day
- Ships takes from 5-15 minutes each day
- Shops, challenges, Cantina, campaigns etc takes 10 minutes each day
- Rancor raid takes from a few (auto) to 60 minutes 2-3 times a week
- AAT takes 30-120 minutes 2 times a week
This combines into a whole lot of time each day (1+ hour). Good time, but still a lot of time.
There is several easy ways to cut down on this.
- GW - Make this SIMable in one way or the other. It could cost something, ally points or whatever (not crystal though). In this way it is still better to play it, but we wont feel as forced to do it as now.
- Arena/Ships - Make it SIMable - some of us do not play the game with Arena in mind
- Make it easier to move from connected areas to others. Example from challenges <-> Ship Challenges <-> Shops etc. We all need to visit the same places several times each day to make our dailies, make it easier for us to do the chores. Perhaps even add a "daily tour" button that make it easy.
- Rancor raid could be made semi SIMable. If we solo the raid fx 5 times in a row, we unlock the sim option. Then you could add a limit on how many times we can SIM it before needing to prove we still have the team (only important if you change the raid or the toons like with the Zader fix).
Things like the ones above would improve the satisfaction with the game, give us time to have fun with the elements we prefer and make room for new stuff (which we all crave).
