I recently picked this game back up in the past week just to see what has changed, did not really know how to play before I stopped playing and was too busy to play it as there were other games on the console that took priority.
Having a lot of fun since I returned getting the characters I want to use and understanding character shards, the store, and guilds.
Only a level 52 player at the time of posting this, and in a starter guild as I get back into things.
Looking for some active allies as I have some who have been inactive for 854 days, and I have already added the active people in my guild.
Also have a question: who is "Mol Eliza" ?, I see this person 8 times for people who have done Raid damage.

If you want allies then post your ally code.
Alternatively OP could go all-in on ships and pilots to have a crystal income from fleet arena.
... But yes, taking a brand new account to level 54 won't take long.
Why in the hell would I **** can all this work that I had before and that I made this past few days just for squad arena ?!!
I can start farming the things I need now and have way more fun continuing where I left off with my level 44, 45, and 50 level characters.
There is no reason I would start from scratch when I already have good stuff to keep working on, that is the opposite of progress in this instance.
The past few days I have also been adding ally codes fir JKR and Darth Revan along with some others.
11k crystals? May I suggest, that you start spending crystals on energy refreshes to boost your progress? It helps you farm characters/gear and gain levels faster.
Went from 25 crystals a day to 35 just this week due to not caring about or competing in squad arena.
With all the other ways to earn crystals I do not really care about squad arena as it really is not all that important to me nor does it matter for why I play.
I enjoyed playing my alt, which had been hibernating for 14 months. Experiencing the climb back through the ranks in squad arena was a whole new interesting and fun experience.
Don't start over if you don't want to, but there's no need to be hostile about it. It's common advice and there are good reasons for it even if it's not something you choose to do.
I'm confused. Are you suggesting doing something different can be fun?
A: You are violating Wheaton's Law
B: I can tell you that I came back from a long break and didn't restart, and I wish I had. The arena gap is basically impossible to close.
That may seem minor now, when you still have lots of easy farms to complete, but later on you'll find crystals become much more important when you only have hard nodes left to grind. If you don't even have the Phoenix squad complete yet from before your break, it's 100% worth it.

I can still use the fleet arena for crystals since I still have not unlocked it, if “restarting from zero” was my only option I would not even bother playing this game since it would require way to much time to get back to where I was.
Your post had several points that indicated you didn't know much about the game (not knowing that "Mol Eliza" is a placeholder, still being in starter guilds which are a trashcan fire). People gave you sound advice. Obviously you can play however you want, but there's no reason to get salty about it.
The idea a returning player can't just pick up where they left off due to one part of the PVP aspect of this game is crazy.
Will I be playing catch up and figuring things out again ? yes but that should not be given a "best to start all over" response just because squad arena is a "keeping up with the Jones" situation.
Like I said earlier, I thought the same thing, and now I know better and wish I'd restarted. I was just hoping to spare somebody else the same situation. Clearly you think you know better than everyone else though, so best of luck.
Would take you two weeks tops to hit level 50.
But if you love a challenge, just continue on as is.
11,000 will do it very quickly, which is why the arena is important to have a larger revenue. I get 250-300 crystals every day just because I play according to the scheme. If it wasn't for revans I would have a higher position in the arena: P
Follow up: why do people give advice here?
My second question wasn't really a question as much as it was an observation that trying to help most people here just gets you yelled at, because of the first point.
Being able to continue where I left off is part of why I even came back, and I was given some stuff during the few times I logged in but did not actually play.
If I only had a few characters who were just from the starter pack, or I did not work on their gear or abilities then starting over would not be an issue.
Ok but people who suggested it didn't know this part. It's a common suggestion.
Yes, it's common to suggest starting over, but suggesting it was completely besides OP's points/questions. Furthermore, in this case the OP still has the possibility to focus on ships and fleet arena to have a crystal income from there.
In the end of the day, it's all about having fun. OP can play the game whichever way he prefers.
Did someone say he can't?
Trying to put together the Rogue One crew and I know dome are only available in the shipments for some of them.
