I’ve played this game for a LONG time—years (minus a couple breaks), but lately I’ve felt like in all the time I’ve spent grinding this game I’ve accomplished literally nothing.
https://swgoh.gg/u/imdylsexic/collection/
I can no longer break top 200 in arena with the nightsisters. My teams are useless in raids, even if they weren’t either over too fast or completely unfun to begin with (Triumvirate). Territory War makes me sad because I literally can’t take a single turn against the majority of defending teams, and the teams I actually can fight are so childishly easy it feels like I’m just wasting my time. There’s no in between. There’s no fun anywhere, because there’s not a single place in this game I do well in.. or even acceptably.
HERE’S THE QUESTION: should I even bother continuing to play, or am I too far down Useless Street? Please, anyone who has some insight, take a look at my characters and tell me if there’s some way to do anything... some way to stop being so genuinely terrible at this game that it isn’t even fun and all I do is lose

Since you’re having trouble with offense in TW, try setting defense. A zetaed nightsister team can be really annoying to fight.
sadly t1-t6 is a bad joke and a clearly shows that CG has no clue what B A L A C E is, as a guild can clear HSR in a couple of hours way before they can clear T6 in 1 reset

Regarding TW:
When playing offense it's important to know which teams to use against which opponents. Do you discuss this and share knowledge within your guild? That's key in a guild and a guild event like this.
In your case, you have strong NS f.ex. In a 75 million GP guild, your opponents will probably have figured out how to beat NS. However you can split your NS up in 2 or 3 viable teams on offense. F.ex. MT fits well with Rex lead and EP to take out oppising EP lead or JTR lead teams. Zombie + acolyte can be used against teams with no AoE damage. Using that against Phoenix or JTR can work. However you will probably need some more firepower, f.ex. from Leia (another stealth attacker) and a fitting lead (Nute is great to boost damage, while Asajj is great to boost Acolyte). Asajj, Daka and Talia can then form a base for taking some mediocre team out.
However, most importantly:
Discuss tactics and teams with you guild mates.
Good luck.
Get leadership zetas on your best teams.
Your 3 best teams should have at least +50 speed on everyone. Your Arena team should shoot for +75 on everyone and +100 on your "engine" for that team. Examples are Vader, FOO, Asajj, Grandmaster Yoda, Sith Assasin, etc. The toon that kickstarts the team to go early and often. Eventually arena toons need +100 speed.
Finally don't worry about chasing the meta. Pick a fun team to keep you top 500 or 200 in arena and build some teams you enjoy. Just my opinion.
If that’s really what it takes, then I guess I’m just done.
Farm cantina nodes five days a week, farm mods two days a week. It adds up.
Well, another option would have been to simply rearrange the mods you already have to strengthen your team. But, ok, it's your choice. Adieu.
Mods are not fun. Mods are not why I, or anyone else for that matter, play this game. I get that it’s doable, but when there’s no end in sight and I could theoretically go an entire lifetime without finding a “decent” mod, I don’t see a reason to even roll the dice.
Edit @Waqui I don’t have any mods worth rearranging
This isnt an action fps game thats supposed be fun at every second. This is a grinding strategy game (farming mods is a big factor in that) , so if you dont like that, probably this game isnt for you.
Also, Im amazed for the 2nd time that you havent figured this out in the past 2 years.
I don't agree. In my first response to you I've posted a link to your swgoh.gg profile which clearly shows, that you have a lot of 30+ speed arrows, but only 3 of your NS have speed arriws equipped. But ok. Your attitude indicates that you have already made up your mind that your account is bad and that you want to leave the game. Fair enough. Bye—bye.
You will do much better if you simply rearrange the mods you have. Of your top 30 speed secondaries, only one of them is on an arena viable Nightsister. Chief Chirpa and clones have a bunch. This is a very simple fix. You have more than enough of a Resistance team to clear the speed mod challenge if you haven't already. Do that and go farm some speed sets.
If that's not the game you want to play, or that's not the way you want to play it, that's great, it's your choice. You can collect away. Just be happy with mid 200s in arena and don't worry about competing in other parts of the game. But if you want to be competitive, you need the mods to do it. NS can reach top 20 or 10 depending on your shard (especially since you have both of Ventress' zetas).

Set up your own thread, dont hijack.
Nothing to see here.
Farm the characters you want to farm, not the ones you read that you need to farm. If you’re following a guide or farm list, you’re already not playing the game, you’re just going through the motions.
Farm the folks you like so that you have fun, then worry about farming the folks you “need.”
Or... farm the characters you need. Then you'll have more resources to farm who you want.
Also, you’re running a meta team from months ago. Like people have mentioned, metas do change for arena pretty often. You have to adapt with what you have in response. Chasing metas always means you’d be left behind.
Mods are a huge part of the game friend. I'm surprised after playing for years you have not come to understand that.
If that's what makes you quit, well, not sure what to tell you friend. They've been important since their release over 18 months ago.
All I can say is just farm mods consistently. I’ve been farming them for the last month and a half because my mods were terrible, most no speed originally, and I’m still deciding when I’d the time to stop mainly to look towards Fo/jtr is what I’m missing out on. Guessing you’ve got them do some mod farming might go a long way + marquees help find speed arrows.
Well, like @swgohfan29 said, simply start your own thread and people will be happy to give you advice.
