Galactic War- Killing My Desire to Play

Hey all!
My name's Matt and through hard work I recently hit a personal milestone- a well geared level 60 team. Woohoo!! Pretty exciting.
About a week ago, I used this team to bash my way much farther through the ranks then I'd ever been- all the way down to 160- a fantastic rank for me!
Up until then I'd been lurking around rank 200 in PVP. 160 was a pretty great feeling.
HOWEVER- overnight Galactic War became a nightmare.
What was once one of my favorite parts of the game- as fun and rewarding as it was challenging..... has become laughably impossible.
Today, my level 60 team once again faced a fully geared, 6 starred, level 68 squad BARELY HALFWAY THROUGH Galactic War.
Day after day my disappointment grows, and today I realized I wasn't really excited to play at all.
Has EA or the moderators of this once-wonderful game made ANY headway on this soul-crushing bug?
Please help- I'm in rather desperate need of some good news here.

I've been reading through your update notes and announcements to see if this has been done intentionally, but it does not seem to be the case...
Hope this will be fixed soon,
Sincerly Jacques
And you're right.. What was once the best part of heroes for me has been ruined and I find myself not looking forward to playing like I used to.
Any chance of this getting sorted?

Anyways I noticed that if you retreat, then try again, the ai does the same thing, and if you miss your first hit on ex, sidious,
Retreating then doing the same exact attack on sidious will miss again.
And if say, dooku stuns 2 of your characters Frist hit, retreating then trying again would result in the same thing every time.
Unless
You switch your team...
So say lumi was the third character in team with sidious leader, switching them will make dooku hit another charter instead.
And if you're bored enough and persistent, you can keep changing to be able to start with an advantage of knowing who to attack without getting a dodge or deflect etc...
Of course this only works with galactic war so please don't fix this till you fix those over powered teams early in galactic war
Sorry for the wall of text
Very annoying, has made Galatic War worthless as I can't earn more than 200 tokens a day.
Not to mention, before the patch, I was able to gather a decent amount of credits in the profit mining events getting 84k+ credits for 50 energy. Now, you use 24 energy for 8k credits. So worth it. Having 1.2 million worth of training droids and 12 credits makes leveling toons just that much more exciting. The suspense is KILLING me!
So, keep up the great work, EA! I'm going to go play Farmville for a few weeks until you make the game boring again.
Too much sarcasm to know what you actually want!
We're not complaining about the difficulty increase, just that some of the matches are impossible for you to continue. GoH is all number based, a L59 team has no chance against a team of 7+ star L70s, no matter what strategy you use.
There is no strategy for a maxed level 59 team to beat a maxed level 70 team...I don't care how many times you retreat or how many toons you throw at them. The game should be challenging not impossible.
I'm currently 5 / 12 (not even half way) in the middle of GW. My player level is 58 and I'm facing a team that consists of:
4*, Glvl 8+, Lvl 63 Barriss Offee
5*, Glvl 8+, Lvl 68 Poe Dameron
7*, Glvl 8+, Lvl 69 Luminara Unduli
7*, Glvl 7, Lvl 69 IG-86 Sentinel Droid
7*, Glvl 8+, Lvl 69 Darth Sidious
I might have understood if this was right at the very end of the GW. For the big prize at the end, I could almost see that as being reasonable, despite the fact that it's terribly unbalanced. For reference... I decided to try the battle for fun and before I was able to activate my firstcharacter, they activated FOUR of theirs, killing off my 5*, Glvl 8, Lvl 58 Jedi Consular and as a bonus Poe got to put his taunt up. Not only am I seeing the same base 3/5 characters in almost *every* single match - which tells me that you guys don't know how to balance characters, which is an issue that also needs addressing - but you're taking what should be one of the more enjoyable parts of the game (which you only get to do ONCE every 24 hours... Again, you should look into that) and you've ruined it by making it far too difficult and demoralizing.
I used to look forward to doing GW at night when it reset. Now it's definitely a 'get around to it, IF I get around to it' kinda thing. You're ruining the experience for the people who are playing this game.
Was the motivation behind this move to try and make it so difficult as to coerce people into spending more money to try and pay-to-win in order to deal with the drastically ramped up difficulty?
Why not make the game more balanced and enjoyable so that people tell their friends and you get MORE customers playing the game?
YEP!!! Exact same thing here. It is freaking absurd....Hell, even facing 65's and 66's is impossible. What is the point of throwing a 70 in there? The whole Algorithm is effed.
HaHaHa!! Dude, that was some fantastic Satire. Bravo!!
"Was the motivation behind this move to try and make it so difficult as to coerce people into spending more money to try and pay-to-win in order to deal with the drastically ramped up difficulty?"
And the crazy thing about that is...no matter what level you are on, they are still going to throw an impossible team to beat at you, no matter how much money you spend. Its self defeating. Why pay more, when there is literally no end in sight?

I got a bunch of co-workers on the game and everyone was enjoying it (and spending $$$). All my co-workers quit over the last 10 days. All but one of my personal friends stopped playing, and he barely plays.
I "championed" your game...and now everyone is **** at me. Thanks.
1. I am wondering that I have 7stars lvl 61Sidious with lvl6 Leader ability as leader, and my opponent does fast ALWAYS critical hits, me not.
2. I have lvl62 Ewok Elder with lvl6 Tribal healer ability, with 30% chance to revive defeated allies. I think my success rate is less than 3/50, that means 1,5 %, definitely NOT 30%. I must be unlucky, of course.
3. But fact, that after 29 days of continuously playing my daily login reward started again from day one... no achievement, no last login day bonus... muhaha. Now I am again at day24, I am wondering if I get the day30 reward
4. In GW the same: around halfway I stuck with lvl.62, 3x7stars + 2x4stars characters, each with lvl VII-VIII-IX gear.
5. I have no chance to participate in Yoda event because I have only 2 jedi characters. Yes, it must be my fault, I concentrated on other characters.
6. I met players in Squad Arena on pos. 200 with team power 2500... is it a bug or cheating?
7. ..and, it can be, that I have less success because I do not pay any cent for the game.
However, this is a good game with SW feeling
Thanks for reading this m8s.
I've also noticed that Bariss can heal through healing block, I thought maybe she had a perk that allowed her but I haven't looked into it
