I compare my GA set up to what it was a few months back and where it's at now and I can certainly feel that very little progress has been made. Despite finishing high in HSTR, I still don't see a huge difference because if how many tickets it requires. Rancor and haat rewards are way down and of course since Revan and Malak I rarely get 1st place in GA any more. In the 4 million GP bracket having a GA without them is almost impossible.
The game feels grindier than ever before, with so many things to gear and work on, actively working on those Malak requirements which is a huge pain in the butt. In this very stagnating environment I can certainly see no more motivation to keep playing unless something changes quickly. Building a good stash of omegas and zetas only to blow them all on indifferent characters to attempt a legendary event is the opposite of exciting, uneventful reworks that bait people into spending resources and then not paying off simply because your boy Malak can 1v5 for some reason. I mean this one character single handedly has turned the game in a horseshow, a tank who one shot people, heals a ridiculous amount and basically in unkillable by many squads.
You want to pace players but this isn't the way, this is a perfect way to make them bored out of existence. Not having a new squad to use for months at a time only to get the new meta which at that time has become the old meta but you cannot afford the new meta so you have to abuse the old meta against others like you.
Change something fast if you care about this game any more.

A new game will probably give you more entertainment than creating a new Forum Account at any rate.
Nothing like 310+ speed on a Drevan to make you feel inadequate.
Op - game is a grind. Got to learn to enjoy it or not mind it. Many players have been playing since its inception. Besides my barber this is my longest relationship yet.

(Also, play with what you like... I love Sith and Bounty Hunters. So I have those very well developed. It’s a game, Play for enjoyment.)
Depending on what you mean by this it’s a fairly trivial statement. Any new content, characters, events, whatever, can be viewed as making the grind worse.
Not really, only adding toons really increases the grind.
If they add content you can still do it with old toons to varying degrees of results.
If you want to "be the best" that is your choice to "make the grind worse" by wanting everything now.
Focus and grind, the grind doesn't change, keep pace and keep on moving and everything is at a steady pace.
I don’t understand this post at all. Something that requires a specific set of characters you may not have worked on before (whether it’s a legendary event, a TB mission, a new raid with a best team to use, or anything else), will be seen by players as increasing the grind because it adds to the number of things on their list that they feel they have to do.
My point was that no matter what gets added to the game, people are going to feel that way.
With your position it doesn’t even make sense to say new characters add to the grind since if you don’t “want everything now” you can just ignore them.

I agree, the grind is soooooo boring now. It didn't used to be this bad. I counted 9 days in a row where I used all 5 chances for carth shards and got 1 or less each day. That's just tragic.
Arena is the same old mirror matchs for over a year now and ship arena...
May sound strange but I just cant loose unless I stick it on auto. Strange I know to hear a complaint that I actually finish first every day and still have 2/3 attacks left.
Devs are obviously not stupid people but why can they not see what is obviously a problem.... I have never found another game that forces mirror matchs because they only have 1 adequate arena team at a time and all the other options are far below par
I have suggested this multiple times to multiple versions of this account. OP seems to enjoy the complain grind most of all.
We went through the same thing with NS...and before them CLS...this is the next evolution.
What's carbonite Han going to do? Fumble around blind as he begins to unfreeze, shooting at random things?🤣

If you feel they owe ftp anything other than a long grind let me organize this. There business model can't support easier ftp. It requires a clear distinction. If they made it 5, 10 or 15% easier then its equivalent of their staff working just as many hours but for less. Or to help your resolve, go into your work and tell your boss you'll work same hours for less because you "love the work, or game". Now I'm not trying to stoke any anger I'm just trying to clearly convey how I see how this game is run. I made my choice for option 2 with a bit of 1 if I feel for some events or toons I don't want to grind, I'm fine with my choice because I can decide how I want to play. If you feel threatening on a post to quit because of the grind that's your choice, but that threat means nothing to a business that needs revenue and doesnt mind losing a ftp player. They gave you a choice.
Oh, I thought it was a joke. 😶 Concept was way better as a joke. 😥 Possibly the lamest idea now that I have rationalized it. 🤔 They're really grasping at straws now.🤣 What's next? Dude, Where's My Banta?😁
Ummmm....it was a joke....
