Don‘t make us suffer through Assault battles every time

They‘re just an enormous time sink. The trooper and NS ones are the worst, because they‘re not hard, it just requires a stupid amount of luck to get through round 1 / 4. Just annoys players every time and kills their devices battery / deteriorates it.
Just give us that SIM option. (Also for HSR and Fleet Mastery and a multi-sim option for events with multiple stages)
Why is that not there yet? You don‘t seem to play your own game.

Q: Can we get more simming of existing events, especially ones that have multiple waves (Secrets and Shadows, Rebel Roundup, etc.). Like if we beat them 5 or 10 times, or earn 3*, can we sim them in the future? Thank you!
A: CG_SvenGG - We've been thinking about the best way to decrease the time commitment we ask of players for content they are able to clear with trivial effort. Ultimately, that has led to the realization that we need a holistic approach to time-saving for players so that we can continue to add new content to the game without exacerbating the commitment players feel they have to make each day.
We have been asking for simmable assault battles for a long time now as you can see.
What's worse is approx two months after after that Q&A, on Jan 28, 2020, CG did the opposite of time savings and released Challenger Tiers 1 and 2 making the assault battles take even longer to complete.

On July 03, 2020, I posted a reminder to CG about what they said about time saving. No response from them.

Worse still is three weeks later, on July 23, 2020 CG released Challenger Tier 3.

Since even before that Q&A from Dec 2019, when Q&As were still a thing, I have been asking this question (which was modified once the Challenger Tiers were released):
Some battles that we have already achieved 3 stars in are starting to get tedious. All of the eight round assault battles come to mind. Are there any plans to allow us to sim ALL battles that we have already achieved 3 stars in? Over a year ago, when somebody asked for this very QOL update, you said you were going to take a "holistic approach to time-saving" but since then, you have made these battles take even more time by adding additional tiers to the events. Can you please explain the contradiction?
I'm not a programmer, so I am unaware what the issue is. If other battles in the game can be simmed, what makes the Assault Battles "impossible" to do so?
When can we finally sim events that we have already achieved three stars in?
Advanced Fleet Mastery: • Admiral’s Maneuver • Endurance • Executrix • General’s Command • Home One -- Special Events: • Defense of Dathomir • Endor Escalation • Galactic Bounties I • Galactic Bounties II • Ghosts of Dathomir -- Assault Battles: • Forest Moon • Ground War • Military Might • Places of Power • Rebel Round Up • Secrets and Shadows -- Resource Events: • Contraband Cargo • Smuggler’s Run -- Mythic Events (only partially simmable): • Artist of War Mythic (Grand Admiral Thrawn) • Daring Droid Mythic (R2-D2) • Emperor's Demise Mythic (Emperor Palpatine) • Grand Master's Training Mythic (Grand Master Yoda) • Pieces & Plans Mythic (BB-8)
To those of you who say something along the lines of "this will reduce the amount of content in the game!", remember this, with the exception of the Rancor & Tank raids (in some guilds), just because an event or battle is simmable, just because some people want the OPTION to sim, it does NOT mean that YOU have to. You can still go right ahead and manually run every single battle. More power to you!
Some people have also suggesting something akin to Galactic Challenges, where as if you beat a higher tier, it auto completes the lower ones. This is, in essence, the same as simming, as far as rewards and time savings are concerned, so I am for whatever time saving method would be easier to program.
And this is precisely why the Q&A’s went away. CG doesn’t like to be held to what they say, so if they don’t say anything, then we can’t say “ you said”.
This is also just another example of how CG could care less about what the players want. ( Looking at you Mace, Mod management, QOL update, communication, Death Star raid, gear economy changes, simmable challenges, sandbox mode, and unending loyalty bug)
That's boring. It's tedious. It's dumb. And it most definitely makes me like this game less and less each time I have to suffer through that waste of time.
It finally happened! It only took around 1.7 years from that Q&A for it to happen sadly.
Thank you for evaluating. Your feedback is appreciated.
Hurrah!?
I should look back in time and see if I can find the first request for ship squads. Let's see how long it takes CG to do that QOL.
Probably when they release a new game mode, then lock it behind a paywall.
