I love this game and been playing about 3 years, have unlocked all toons and guild has raids on farm but......
What I really want and think everyone can relate to is that the constant release of new toons/farms is getting too much.
I would love a month maybe even 2 that I can just focus on few toons I need/want to gear/and star up, rather than feel I need to chase the new releases.
Before I get all the hate, I fully understand that chasing new characters/ships is a choice and everyone can farm what they like, etc.
Even the super whales haven’t 7* and g12 every character and ship so therefore an break in releases would benefit the whole community and allow people to further develop their rosters. Stronger rosters for everyone would make the majority of the game modes more interesting/challenging and competitive.
Also with a delay in new content release CG has more potential for purchases flour to excitement of a new meta release after a break in new content releases, we all know how much they love making money and tempting us with packs?
As previously stated I have all toons unlocked and over 4 million GP, average top 50 in both arenas so not a new player but want to explore all characters and ships.
Am I alone in thinking like this? I doubt it but am interested what others think?

Don’t you just love autocorrect 🤣😛
Trying my best to derail haters but am sure a few will appear 😝
My reason for doing so is the current state of the Arenas.
Squad Arena is entirely about Revan and who has the better mods. Ship Arena is entirely about Hound's Tooth and Han's Falcon. Assuming the Devs are not planning to change anything, the only way to break this really boring state of affairs is with new characters and ships. Otherwise we're just going to be stuck on Revan and Han's Falcon for months and I am already extremely fed up with both states of affairs.
I agree with your statement about both arenas, I face the same battles when I go in either arena. However your comment only moves the current meta to a new one and the circle continues. So you would be soon bored of new meta and I would be frustrated with new chase and lack of time to follow other grinds.
So surely the solution is to create the mythical rock, paper, scissors situation in both arenas? And once this has been successfully done give us a break?
Would work for the community and CG from business point as people would need to invest in their “rock” team, “paper” team and “scissor” team
Once established people can go in their own direction/choice to farm and CG still get their money.
Fair enough, but how’s that working for you in both arenas/TW/GW/TB?
Also are you not interested in farming people other than latest/greatest character? Star wars universe is rich in characters that people relate to or like that are not always meta. Would be great to be able to farm toons you like for a short period without losing position and crystals in arenas.
Maybe I’m just dreaming though
Never going to stop super whales. They purchase their status. And I bet the girls all flock to his prowess of SWGOH.
Seriously though you're unfortunate to be in an instinct shard. And the only rebutes to it is to quit, accept it, or start a new account.
I'm not very fond of fleet arena, never have been. I do alright since i unlocked the HMF for GA/TW purposes, but mostly minimal effort for top50/100.
I always finish top3 in the squad arena, get max waves in both TBs, only lost 3 GAs (darn 3v3) and pull my weight in TWs.
It's just that i don't really want a team/toon at the moment, so i'm waiting for something better to come allong. This will give me an advantage when that happens. At the moment i'm waiting on the droids rework to see if i'm going to max them and on carth to be farmable to build a new GA/TW team. Also hoarding for a new panic farm which is bound to come sooner or later.
it's a bit boring right now, but i think it will pay off eventually.
It's just a game. Whether I finish 1st or 1000th in arena, I still need to go to work tomorrow and still have to remember to pick up dinner on the way home. None of this matters. In a hundred years our grandchildren aren't going to say "Yeah, but, I mean they finished 1st in arena ALL THE TIME."
You mean your account isn't part of your will....? I see a legal battle over your account when you die. Lol
Yeah people take this way too serious. Choices! Live and die by them.
Oh yeah! Don't forget milk on the way home.
They have slowed down on marquees lately, so that helps some.
Your quite right the business needs to make money I totorally get that, the company I work for is ruthless believe me. However the strategy used to make money could be more effective for both player and business. I go back to rock, paper, scissor analogy. Surely from business perspective making is farm 3 squads ie rock, paper, scissors is more lucrative than making us farm 1 squad. Then to appease people like me they have periodic breaks to far characters of personal interest this works both ways as would take significant time to farm the rock, paper, scissors teams which = money for CG but allows time for side projects/personal interest as well. Also which ever business your in you need to keep customer vaguely happy/interested to make money
Just a follow up, I don’t think you ranting just expressing a view which is what the forum is meant to be for. Instead of haters and crybabies
I respect your comments and enjoy discussing this topic with you and others, it’s quite refreshing to have a sensible debate with someone 😊
Agreed, there is a lot of emotion when people reply on here but maybe that just comes from passion? Lol.
Passion leads to bias, bias leads to hatred, hatred lead to panic farming?
In regards to changing the business model that is a tricky mistress. The execs have most likely reported their plans to how they will increase spending in the player base so whatever is in the works will play out and I am just guessing that they have planned out the road ahead for the full year.
I would LOVE if they would make a bundle in the store to 7* a marquee toon right out the gates. Say put a $100 price tag on it? I know it’s a bit less than if we were to spend crystal packs to farm them but idk if the entire player base would actually purchase it making more money ultimately across the board rather than depending on the whales to pony up the $300+ bucks it usually is for 7* the newest toon.
Just a thought 💭
I think that's the point of the OP. I'm on the same boat at you with enough gear and Crystals to max out an entire team, but I won't do it because I'm waiting for the next big release. I know it's the o ly way for us ftp to be competitive, but it gets kinda frustrating sometimes
The spenders are far from irrelevant. They keep the game afloat. Without them the game ends. The majority will just have to accept the fact that they will never have an A-list roster like the spenders do. It's ok if you cannot afford to keep up with them. It's just a game, after all.
QFT, +1, etc.
