We need this! (Rey)

After testing phase 1 of the new raid for the past few hours it seems that Jedi training Rey is going to be massive for the raid. I understand that there is a price to be paid for f2p players but honestly this is too much to bear.
Rey was a p2p character and unless you could finish top 5 in both arenas as a f2p you could simply forget about getting her. I understand that this is our "punishment" for not spending money to get Rey but it's been getting close to 3 months without her and for a mostly p2p character it should be enough for a comeback.
With arena being quite diverse right now, with Palpatine and Nightsisters going head to head with Rey as well us Sion coming to crush squads that rely heavily on buffs, Rey will become less and less dominant in arena. She will eventually be a predominately raid character and with this new raid we will need her more than ever.
The raid is threatening to break guilds apart, guilds who don't have Rey will have a very hard time completing it. It's going to split the base even worse than TB did. I think we need rey back in March on the 4 month mark. That's sooner than CLS returned by a month, but the circumstances have changed.

Uhh, have you seen the damage difference? Those with Rey are pulling 5-6 million runs, those without her are lucky to pull 1.5-3 million
Excuse me? You think it's easy to hit top 5 in both arenas? It's not. You are the exception, not the rule
She can do 3-5 times more damage than almost any squad out there and given that we only have 5 attempts for the tier 6 I would say she is more than just "one character with one team"
What I mean is that I'm sure there are other compositions that can do almost as well as Jedi training Rey. Just no one has figured them out yet.
Let's give it a day or two before proclaiming her unparalelled.
Looks like your mates with Rey are underperforming, not reaching the 6m mark
Not really dude, the best I've seen was a 3 million and that's about less than half than Rey. Nihilus has tons of tenacity making characters like Vader, Sidius and other useless. You can apply tenacity down either so TM reduction teams can't do well. Meanwhile Rey has abilities that can't be resisted.
Some of them do, it's not like it's easy, point being we need her back
the raid has been out for like 13 hours, i'm sure that the best you've seen currently is no where near the best we'll see in a week or two from now.
But you know Rey will be massive regardless
Uhh ok, what does that have to do with anything, she can't be good in all phases, but she is a monster in others.
Every time new content comes out it threatens to break up guilds, this is nothing new, and is not due to a single f2p toon. This is due to people wanting/thinking they should be the first to get something.
This is a raid it will be around for a long time and getting the rewards a week or a month or 3 months later will mean very little 3 months after that. It's ok hang in there.
That is the advantage that some get for being a long time player or well prepared when things like new events roll around.
LOL
Yeah but those advantages cannot last forever man, 4 months a good amount of time to give people a second chance
The point he made was that you didn't need rey, other teams will also be able to get you throught the raid. Just like you don't need bb8 to clear hAAT for example. It's even possible that rey isn't part of the team that turns out to get the highest percentage of dmg. Take nutini for example, it got nerfed obvioulsy, but wasn't discovered within the first weeks the AAT raids was out, it took quite a while before lugo (iirc) posted that amazing team on the forum/reddit.
So yea, all the complaining seems a bit premature to me.
She is certainly gonna be better than anyone in at least 1 phase. It could be phase 1, 2, 3 or 4 but there is no doubt that she will make a difference.
When it comes to just clearing the raid, with tier 6 you can clear it in a few days or a few weeks, I'm sure when she can do 5 times more damage than the average squad that saves you an entire day so in theory she can help you clean it 4 days quicker than you would without her
good talk
No worries, we'll have plenty of time for testing in all phases, I bet we'll be back to this argument in a couple of days
I guess I’m not following your logic. Why would your guild break apart if none of you have JTR?
Even if your premise that the raid is essentially “impossible” without her were true...why would your guild break apart?
Are there guilds out there looking for jtr-less players that all of your guild mates are flocking to?
It would seem to me that if your guild doesn’t have her, then staying together is your best option. No other guilds are looking to carry players right now.
Then you need a better guild. Or more likely, your guild needs a better member.
I was shocked when I saw who started it. SHOCKED I SAY!
Tone your expectations down
They won't, don't worry they never do. But that toon being good in new content is not a reason to now put her out again. They are independent of each other, that's the only way this works.
That way you don't have to complain about people oitscoring you because of BB8 in HAAT
But depress from that: fleet arena, yes it is very easy to hit top 5
OG arena though, too 100 is very easy
