Diversity
I read one too many posts on how everyone is a drone and the poster is one of the rare original, uber cool unique players. How much they want everyone to be different etc etc.
To all those guys, you can cry me a river. You don't know what the game is about. The game mechanics are setup that way. There always will be a most efficient way to ride to the top and people will always try to take that route, cos, most efficient. Until the game changes fundamentally, this will always be the one and only constant truth in game. So if you have any ideas on what that fundamental change needs to be, please share.
Otherwise, please stop pretending to have found Nirvana and for beep's sake, stop condescending others. If you are not interested in Arena or rankings and just enjoy the game as is, please go on. Stop pretending that is the only right way to play the game. Some i d iots even jump on threads where people want to share personal achievements and start their condescending troll posts, oh cookie cutter team etc.
Get a life. Or don't. I'm ok if you wanna be a loser trying your hardest to prove to others that you're, in fact, the only real winner.
No offense to the guys who're actually playing different and still enjoying the game. The whole rant is against the ones playing different and hating it so much, they want others to join or appreciate them to make it worthwhile.

A bit off topic, but a Vader led team is rank 1 on my shard (mid dec) right now. He truly plays this game his own way
Speaking of meta, this very post will be lost in the vast sea of pointless comments seeking to placate the OP...
Nah, the rant is not because someone engaged with me. It's because I see a post where someone is sharing his joy at getting no 1 and another jumps in raining on his parade, how that achievement means nothing because he has a meta team. There's another kind where the OP wants some suggestions on a winning strategy, folks come with ideas and then this guy jumps in on how the suggestions are bad because they follow the meta, offering 0 ideas which are different and better.
This is not about discussions or disagreements. This is clarifying that the disagreement should be targeted at the game mechanics and not at the folks who have learnt how to use the mechanics to their advantage.
There's no need to be a militant over it or ooze sarcasm on people who just want to share their wins and achievements. They can, of course, do it. Free country and all but it's unneeded, points to a needy of validation character (is that even a phrase?) and is directed at the wrong target.
Yeah, we had a Asajj led nightsister team in our top 20 but I think he's thrown in the towel and is using Dooku lead now. I see him around the top now.
Are you referring to the vids of Lando with Nute as leader? If so, Lando is only amazing because Nute's leader ability is bugged - non-stealthed allies are incorrectly gaining turn meter on crits. Also, Lando is terrible on defense atm: slow and his AOE special is as likely to grant enemy toons offense up as damage them.
In every facet of ANY activity or sport, you going to field the best team, period. If 50 people have Dooku, or droids or Poe or Phasma and it helps them move up in rankings to procure more resources for thier team to make their team better over all, then that's fine. Eventually, things change and you find a way to beat it.
Example: cover 2 defense in football. Ten years ago, almost every team ran that defense. Until they found a way to beat it. Then the "meta" changed and defenses evolved.
I play for fun, but I also try to place the best, competitive team in arena - and sometimes it flows with the meta - so I can make my team better.
Interesting - first I heard of people using that lineup now. I know it's been touted as being the new big thing once fortitude and the changes being done to advantage come into play...
Oh, that goes without saying. I agree with that. And I too, hate Dooku. BUT, I am farming him because , well, I want more crystals in area and I'm getting smoked by: Dooku teams. So I need to up my competitive advantage in arena. However I'm also farming Boba and lando because it's fun.
I can say congrats. Congrats, haha!
@Carth_Onassi1973 , absolutely what you pointed out.
Ok, now i understand what both you and OP said. I hate Dooku so much that i won't farm for him but, i have no problem with other people farming for him if they choose so. Maybe some people clearly do. Yea that's not cool.
I'm not farming GS for the same reason. Don't like him but he's so good, I nearly cave in everyday. I just keep telling myself, wait for the next update, wait... lol.
Best of luck. I like it that F2P can be no 1 in this game. It takes a lot more planning for a F2P to get there.
Hahaha! Me too. I'm stockpiling arena and GW resources to see what happens at the end of April. I figure by then, I'll be prepped to farm someone I need to or farm someone I want to or both.
... But man, seeing the bug sitting in my collection at 4* makes me want to commit to building him up. I figure ill wait to see what happens.
Why would you intentionally make a game that already punishes you more punishing? I mean, unless youre a masochist. I love Dark Souls but you wont see me doing naked fist runs in that game
Is this about GS? If so, I don't farm him because I need the higher rewards from higher level Cantina battles. Higher nodes also have a higher drop rate for purple mats.More Cantina currency, credits etc. too. Missed him because he looked really ugly when I 1st started playing+ no name toon and because of Kylo. I consider it too wasteful to farm him now at my level. Yup, he's really good but not a game changer like Poe was. An asset to most squad compositions but not indispensable either.
If the next update doesn't change him much, I'll get him. By that time I would have gotten anybody I wanted from Cantina shipments (finishing up Daka and 5s, then I'm done there) and should be able to forego the extra Cantina credits. Working on Lando till then.
