Fix GW already! Plus suggestions for how to do it.
Seriously. There is no reason why GW hasn't been addressed yet. Don't get me wrong. I am happy that guilds came out (despite being horrible flawed and poorly thought out). But seriously. Fix GW already. It should be embarrassing that this hasn't been addressed at all. Not even a decent lie like "hey we'll get to it eventually." The protection addition, while useful for arena, has completely ruined GW, a very essential aspect of the game. The worst part of all of this is that GW went from the best part of the game to the worst. Boring, time consuming, frustrating, and impossible to finish consistently.
Here are some ideas that I have seen tossed about. (In order of appeal to me)
1. Renew protection after every 3 nodes have been cleared. It's already set up in 3 battle stages, why not renew protection at the end of the third battle. This will keep part of the challenge because let's face it three battles against teams with full protection when you are losing protection the whole time is still pretty difficult. (but not impossible)
2. Let protection renew even when a character isn't in the battle. For example, you used your Rey on nodes 1 and 2. She is now completely out of protection (for the rest of GW). Now you can sit her out for a battle and she will gain back 25% of her protection for every battle she sits out. This way we still need to expand our rosters and use new teams, but its still possible to finish with careful planning.
3. Renew more protection between each battle. Instead of the current 1-5% protection being restored between battles, make it more like 20-30%. This will still be incredibly challenging, but at least you have chance to keep protection longer. Instead of the current 1-2 nodes, because lets face it. After two rounds of Sid's AoE your protection is gone. Not to mention the four other characters on the opponents team that are going to hit your characters.
4. Get rid of protection all together in GW. If its too difficult for you to come up with an actual solution for GW, just get rid of protection for everyone. Admittedly, I don't even like this idea, but its better than the nonsense that is currently going on.

Something is seriously wrong here, I have tried putting a team member in that's lower to gain advantage, change synergies and teams, thrown in fodder teams first and barely get to the third node before the last.
Please fix me.
Once the novelty of the raids wear off (they are great fun now), I'm gussing that they'll start to loose players due to the way GW works now.
I have been able to beat GW a couple times very recently, but it is MUCH harder, longer, and boring, and I rarely feel the need to put the time in to try anymore. We don't have hours to spend on this every day. And AI dooku lead ability is insane
+1000
and the payouts aren't even in line with higher level requirements -> credits and omega on last node. more work for less
Seriously, what is it with the AI? Every time there's a Dooku or Lumi lead team it's nigh impossible to hit any character. But whenever I use a similar level Dooku/Lumi it's like nothing. Every attack from the enemy hits home. This needs to be balanced out. Either nerf the AI's evasion ability or boost the chances of the player's evasion to kick in.
Also this ^. Dude! It takes me a solid hour-hour and a half of concentration to get through it. And for what? 2 (or was it 3?) purple mats, 1 random shard (most of the time useless), and oh, yes, credits, which albeit they're the best source of income in the game, they're *too* hard won credits. The rewards should be way better.
One more very important thing: Please, pretty please, bring back the GW shop refresh with green crystals. Let me spend my [very] hard won crystals the way I want. Notice I said please and was nice about asking for this
I first started GW back in Feb sometime and it was fairly easy,not a great time consumer and for the battles the rewards were fair.
However you've put in at least 2 updates on it now that I know of and tbh it's become a real slog.
It's one of those battle areas I'm starting to dread.
The battles are ofc harder and with every enemy team starting fresh against my own battle weary team the game starts to become the slog I mentioned.
Retreat after retreat trying to get the right combination against the AI so I don't lose a valuable char,and I really don't have the time to spend like that.
The rewards haven't changed in line with difficulty and if you play GW enough you know exactly what you're going to get and sometimes I think 'is it really worth another difficult battle for a poor reward?
Unfortunately it has indeed come to that for me, I get to the third tier ish and I just don't bother anymore,and by that time my team is on its last legs anyway.
I have been giving my honest opinion and stating that I used to fair pretty well in the GW before the "protection " update.
Now I get absolutely no where.
But as per the title "Nobody gives a monkeys"
Thanks for nothing developers!!!!!!!!

But i see no Posts or a Reaction from EA or the DEV´s.
Is on any Website a Reaction from the DEV´s?
At the very least communication would be appreciated, at least to acknowledge our frustrations.

So you've gone from level 40 to 53 in 120 days? I've been playing for 5 months (~150 days) and I'm level 77. thats a bit far fetched, seeing as only a handful of people have completed the 150 GW achievement and they are the long time players who have been here since november
I'd say that reduces difficulty a bit, but yes protection in GW is annoying
