Cant we just do fewer nodes (8-10) with same rewards for galactic war
That would save time and you could also do something like increase difficulty so your still utilizing your whole team the loot a bit higher for each node to keep the rewards the same

add everything up in game and you're looking at around 2+ hours of your day.
Now imagine if they add ships etc
Please don't reduce the number of nodes. I like it where it is.
It would be nice is a player could earn some the better gear in GW though. Maybe if they completed GW X number of times in a row, or without losing a toon.
If you want to play casually then don't expect maximum rewards.
Either play it for the full two hours with max rewards or play it for one hour with half of the rewards.

Lets just make it one node with a level 2 ewok. My finger gets too tired.
@cosmicturtle333
I don't think OP said anything about rewards.
Neither did they say give me rewards.
They simply presented an idea.
Also, take Clash of Clans as an example here, as soon as they gave the finger to the casual fan base look what happened, they dropped out of the top rated apps from top 10, they went from top grossing of two and a half years to 5th. I consider myself "hardcore", and I really hope this game starts adding stuff for the casual fan base because if you keep steaming along trying to pull in profits from "hardcore" players, you eventually crash and burn when they lose the people they pay/play to impress.
Edit: typos
By reducing the amount of GW nodes they are making changes that would affect the entire player base. This is positive for them but negative for me.
Casual players already get natural regular and cantina energy regenerating, 45 free energy three times a day, five free attempts in arena, free arena rewards every 24 hours and five free bronzium cards each day.
If they want more than that then they have to work for it.
if you define casual players by the 45 free energy, and 5 free bronziums, free arena rewards, then technically everyone is a casual player
I guess what I'm trying to get at is not everyone is able to put in the same amount of time, even if they like the game the same amount. I'd hate to see people go when the game goes a direction where the time they have is no longer able to allow them to enjoy the game their way.
Their way? What about the thousands of other players who are just fine with it as is? What about their way?
If they can't handle an extra challenge now and then, then they are not suited for this game, let them go play Candy Crush.
This topic has been discussed ad nauseum . Its a broken record.
Its so simple. If they don't want to spend 1 hour they can stop playing whenever they want. They just can't have the full reward. They get something for their troubles. Why can't they be content with that?
Fine. You play fewer nodes and be happy. We will play more nodes and be happy.
Everybody is happy and nothing has to be changed.
Seems you have trouble putting yourself in other people's shoes.
Ya see if they just go play candy crush instead, now you lose a lot of people you didn't even know played this game, therefore decreasing the amount of exposure this game can get, therefore attracting less players, so on and so forth.
Yes, they can stop after an hour, but the rate this game is going you'll need more than an hour to complete what you need to complete to advance and continue to enjoy the game.
Now if ya wanna call me a narcissist again for trying to explain a different point of view, be my guest, I'll just sit here and laugh since you don't know what the definition of narcissist is.
Oh stop it! This is so simple. You are never going to please everyone, but deleting content from the game is not the answer.
The more content the better. Everyone keeps harping for more content and then someone complains because they don't have time for all that content. Give me an f'ing break.
Is there an issue with people not wanting it your way? Tough nuts, welcome to life, that's why you can't please everyone.
And rarely will you see the same person complain about too much content after asking for more.
I'm just gonna step away now because as before, you have missed the point of what was being said originally. Carry on.
Are you kidding me? It already takes several hours to complete all the content that currently exists. Do you even play this game?
It takes at least an hour to complete 5 arena battles. Each battle takes 3-5 mins. Average 20 mins. Then you have to wait 7 mins for each battle to refresh. 4x7 = 28 mins. Add extra time to search out an opponent. minimum 48 mins to play Arena.
We all know how long it takes to play GW. Some do it in 30 mins. , some take 2 hours. Average 75 mins. Lets pretend it is shorter to make you happy. 30 mins.
If you are playing new L/D battle nodes, each one might take 5 mins. Most people burn through a couple gem refreshes, so thats about 200-500 energy, depending on what level you are. Average 12 energy per battle, thats 25-40 battles x 5 mins. = 120-200 mins. Take some time off for sims. Average 1.5 hours for a full days worth of energy.
Cantina same thing. Most people probably sim it most of the time. Say 30 mins. average for the full day.
Challenges cannot be simmed but can be auto-battled. Playing a battle on manual can take 3-5 mins. 3 credit/droid/ability challenges x 4mins. ≈ 15 mins average. Gear challenges 5 x 4 = 20 mins. Average 35 mins. per day Sunday x3 = 75 mins.
Events (I don't play them) add 15 mins.
Raids depending on the size of your team it could take 10mins. - 1 hour to play one round . x2 rounds average 1 hour.
Once all of that is done you have to spend time managing your assets. Leveling toons. gearing, purchasing shards, etc. 10 - 20 mins. per day average 15 mins.
All together thats about 320 mins. or more than 5 hours just to complete all the content for each day.
That is about how much time I spend per day, which is ridiculous, but I am not the one complaining about it.
All of these activities are necessary to earn shards, gear, droids, credits, gems, and energy in order to be competent in this game. So tell me which game modes would you like to eliminate to bring your daily play time down to 1 hour? Looks like it will have to be nearly all of them. Now thats going to be an interesting game.
GW is currently my favorite part of the game in it's current form. I enjoy picking different teams from my roster depending on what random team each node puts up, or what toon I've recently unlocked/leveled up and want to try out. It's a good practice mode for me since you can reset w/ retreat.
If you don't have the time, then just don't do it. Start one node, retreat, get credit for your daily and off you go.
