An honest appeal from a 4+ year pure F2P player

    TLDR: I spent 6 months farming a GL that was meta for 27 minutes and now gets stomped on by F2P chars AND is useless in Raids.

    I deeply regret that.

    Ditto this + mirrors are a timeout nightmare. Slkr is fun. Rey is not. Her ultimate is basically useless on offense and only serves to increase your chances of timing out when fighting her. This sucks CG.

    I've been bringing up the Sith Raid issue in Q&A's and elsewhere since Kylo solo became a thing

    It is definitely a huge problem, and the reward structure needs to be changed for sure, even if they don't bring an option to sim the raid

    They just need to make the lower level gear crunch easier. It’s still insanely difficult to get stun guns. So we have a huge gear wall at g8 and g9 and ANOTHER massive one at g12. I’m fine with making it difficult to get from g12 to 13 but they haven’t done anything to ease lower gear levels. It’s just obnoxious game design but obviously planned out to encourage frustration spending (which I just did btw). Not proud of it.

    Have you ever gotten 11th?
    No, I have enough skill not to.

    Or the rest of the guild is just worse than you.

    Where were you guys calling for GL balance when Rey was considered the best? Originally most of the chatter was that Kylo was vastly inferior. ‘Wait till he gets his Ultimate’, was the only hope for players who went FO. But after the dust cleared Kylo has come out on top, and Now Rey users are furious? Come on. You don’t see the hypocrisy? Or maybe you’ve just enjoyed the LS tilt this game has had for far too long? Only thing more pitiful than rebel scum are resistance sympathizers.

    :: watches the last 5 mins of Rogue One....again ::

    Rey was never considered the best at everything. From day 1, everyone knew Kylo was going to dominate the raid content and still be a solid #2 to Rey in PvP. This seemed like a reasonable choice. Pvp or Pve? No one needed to call for balance at that time because it existed!

    Now Kylo is still superior at one thing and at a minimum equal in the other. The blanace is gone.

    Was there ever blanace?

    In all seriousness, yes.

    There was an imbalance in 3v3 GAC with Rey owners vs non GL owners. If you had Rey and your opponent didn’t have a GL, it was pretty much an auto win by setting Rey on bottom front.

    I don’t know why you quoted me, I was joking, per usual.

    Ah, fooled me with, “in all seriousness”

    🤷‍♂️

    That usually gets people. Sometimes I even fool myself.

    I'm not disagreeing with how the Sith raid gear payouts are managed, but have you discussed with your guild the possibility of shifting from a free for all on raids to a everyone gets a turn at top 10? The guild I'm in does that and it seems to benefit everyone equally. Also, by doing that, it helps the guild as a whole as those a little further down in the gear farming of (insert important character here) to gear them more quickly and be of more use in TB/TW.

    I left my last guild months ago for this very reason. I'm much happier now and have geared more characters up than I would have had I stayed at the last guild. Yeah, we take a while to clear HSith and HAAT, but everyone has a fighting chance instead of a 10-30 minute window to get whatever hits in that you can.

    I'm an officer in my guild and this method you mentioned has caused a lot of controversy within the guild. We recently lost an officer over it.
    The biggest problem is the hardest hitters are so against not having their surefire top prize winning squads run as hard and fast as they can that they will leave the guild if not allowed to do so.
    While I understand that letting them is pandering to a certain degree.... Anyone hitting top scores in HSTR is quite likely doing big things in the other areas of the game and would be a shame to lose over something like raid position.
    The idea is not a bad one. But there are things that must be considered. Like the possibility of losing some of your best players when they don't agree with it.

    It's a choice of do you go with Capitalism and let those top earners keep what they've worked hard for, or do you choose Socialism and redistribute the wealth. Isn't it funny how that works It's way into society no matter how large or small it is...
    Still waiting on that edit forum profile setting so I can change my name...

    They won't change 'solo' part, because it's part of pyramid structure, where most of ppl need to reach those chosen ones at top and for that some pay.
    But I agree that rey, whose more expensive(requires much more of expensive gear) should be capable at least of doing same features as kylo. So the only solution is to increase rey's dmg on bosses and other gl with each hit

    The problem was with reward structure of STR from the very start. It is complete ****.
