Galactic War is broken
Seriously, not only is it awful to play, the rewards are approaching useless. Why would anyone endure 45-90 minutes of pain fighting against maxed arena teams. It's a sea of Rey, rg, Gs, qgj, Daka, yada yada yada. It's broken and its breaking the game.

It's a game.

GW is optional. You don't have to do it if you struggle physically and emotionally with it.
There are a lot of things that could be done to improve the GW experience, some of them even get posted here on the forums.
In the meantime @ChrisJBB8 and @Timitock are correct, it's a game, don't sweat it.
I've suffered the consequences of not reliably completing it but I still enjoy the game overall by a decent margin. My toons aren't being leveled as quickly and I'm usually broke, but not resetting ad nauseum after 20+ dodges is a trade-off I'm willing to take.
The dodge meta needs to go. The number of people that find it boring far outweighs those that enjoy it.
Ummm, how is it optional? It's really the only solid way to get credits on a daily basis (without paying). I guess it's optional if you don't want to advance any of your characters ever. Maybe arenas optional too huh? Raids? Gear? All optional by your standards?
Get real guys, you have to do GW until there's another viable and regular way to earn credits.
I think he meant to say it's optional in the same sense that registering your vehicle and purchasing car insurance are optional.
You *can* get by without it, but it is ill-advised.
For FTP, I suggest not to gear your toons beyond G9 if you wanted to complete GW on a daily basis.
For the whale, just need to buy more meta toons and spend $$$ gearing and upgrading them.
Amen!
That's not true. GW is the only way to get credits. You can't just skip it.
But it's not fun and not challenging as it should be. Today I had 3 nodes with old Ben lead, RG, Rey QGJ and another fifth.
I know how to beat beat one, two also and three but when the following node is a squad with Rex lead, echo, Leia, fives and RG I lost my humors.
Needles to say they are all gear 10 or 11... And it's only the ninth node...
For me that's broken and not fun.
Isn't that quite an evidence, that it is indeed broken?
Furthermore, one shouldn't be forced to choose between a good arena team and a beatable GW.
Anyways, devs are looking into that. Let's hope for the best.
And you don't have to choose between a good Arena team and a beatable GW. You just have to make a good GW team (and not just soldier on with your Arena team), or at least build up enough other characters that you can field suicide squads and B or C teams in GW when your A team isn't cutting it.
No team is unbeatable, even if you don't have Protection and they do. My Protection is typically gone on all my toons by the 5th or 6th node, yet I've beaten GW with the same 6 toons (all on my A team, I just rotate in one toon or the other situationally) without losing anyone on any but the last node for the last two weeks straight. Ever since they changed the TM mechanic on GW.
I'm really sick of this "I can beat it so you must be a bad player" ****.
So don't expect a response. It's not worth it. Just read a bit, ask other players and you MIGHT see where the problem with GW is. You are not aware of the issue at all, looking only at "your" GW.
You are a good player, I'm not. Kthxbye.
I've skipped completing it for weeks. I don't have time for resetting to find which combo best avoids excessive dodging. If it wasn't optional, I would not be playing this game.
There is no diversity in GW, and you end up always fighting the same teams because they're usually drawn from other players' teams.
Considering how static the meta is, it turns GW into a chore where you're basically fighting yourself over and over again until you either die of exhaustion, or kill enough of your clones to survive another day.
On top of that, GW is necessary to progress in the game, since it's the major credits source, credits which are already a scarce ressource.
Yes you can skip GW and be stuck, but that's not how the game is supposed to be played.
"Don't do it if you don't like it" is probably the worst advice I've ever heard. GW is a terrible game mode that provides little to no fun, and should be reworked to make it exciting.
It's kind of like work, it's not fun, but if you don't do it you don't get paid.
This is exactly what I'm advocating in my GW thread.

I have 0 characters with gear > 8 and in GW same. So i bet if you geared your toons with gear > 8 you will get geared opponents in GW too
