GW at level 80

Just curious to know if other players having reached level 80 are getting incredibly difficult runs in GW since they reached that level.
I use to pretty much breeze through GW, needing to burn an occasional suicide squad or two in tougher runs but since I reached 80 it's been incredibly difficult.
I start getting squads around level 78, all gear 8-9 around node 6 and it gets tougher with every nodes. The last 4, 5 I'm always getting heavy stuff like Rey, QGJ and other gear 10, usually two or three toons geared up at 10 per squad, throw in the mix RG gear 9, Ol Ben gear 9 with his ton of health and outrageous dodge rate, and other nightmare toons you hate to see when your roster is getting exhausted.
I have a pretty deep roster 23 7* all pretty well geared up but the last 4 days, I barely squeaked through with only the skin of my teeth left, all toons dead except last standing. And that ONLY because I retreated a ton of times until I got the only possible RNG combinations that would allow me to pass... It's taking me well over an hour, really excrutiating...
I like a challenge but ... life is too short for this...
@Baldo I had your squad at node 10 yesterday, total nightmare, I needed to beat it without damaging my a team too much cause I knew two more awful tough fights were left after you. Was the worst, I finally did it after trying every possible ways to get the right RNG but just painful...
So is this happening to all level 80 or I'm just on a really bad streak?

Yeah, was a complete nightmare, if I get your squad I want it at node 12 when I can go all out, NOT when I still have two more battles left! lol
Devs seriously need to take a look at this. Over 38k arena power and GW takes WAAAAAAAY too **** long.
Just in case they are still looking at the forums: @EA_Jesse @CG_JohnSalera .
Give GW some love guys! We'd love u long time...
On Sat I had 5 straight g10 Reys and then for some reason on node 12 were toons all green or white gear.. Anyone see that before?
That happens sometimes to a member of my guild, he has a roster full of 7 star toons with Arena squad over 39k. He says he gets tough squads right from the start up until the last two nodes where he gets noob squads. As if you managed to exhaust the best team so the AI has nothing left to throw at you lol.
Yes.
Many in my guild have simply quit doing GW as it is no longer enjoyable.
My arena team broke 37k today and GW was INSANE. I almost quit because it was not fun, but just ended up throwing toons after toons at the last 4 nodes with no real strategy and I was able to finish. I have finished every GW since they changed it back in January, but I think this might be it. I will stop doing it like the other.
I been getting level 70 sometimes @ node 1 and more then often around 75 in node 3....pretty much all way through Gw is around 70-80
Will it ballance out when more F2P reach 80?
If GW was meant to encourage gamers to build a "platoon", i.e., spend $, then the moment you gear up your platoon, it becomes almost impossible to compete. How is that not insanely frustrating ? You either grind or grab (buy) your platoon and you still end up in the hole, i.e., still can't compete.
I'm nowhere close to where you guys are, just approaching level 70s. No where near the 7* plaTOONs that some of u have, i.e., only two 7* toons. I am facing level 74! squads with Vader, Kylo, Dooku (who counters and bonus AT LEAST 3x), Sid, and Ventress, all purple, all 6*. All FRESH while my squad is limping into the battle.
**** is the point if GW is simply an exercise in frustration ?
CG seriously need to separate the whales, P2P folks from either the F2P or occasional spenders. This ONE POLICY fits all approach is destroying this franchise. If not for the "Star Wars" theme, I echo a lot of posters here, we would be LONG GONE by now.
The game model is an established p2w archetype...
I have been hoping GW would get better not worse. Although I don't know why I thought that would happen.
P2W/P is fine. CG is a business. However, paying "how much to win ?" is the question if the "goal post" keep changing ? Get my drift there Timi. You gear up your toons to using arrows b/c that's what the opponents were using the last time and all of a sudden they now have lasers ? ... What the ^%$#

@EA_Jesse
You can't just accept the parts you like, and act hurt about the others.
You must have known there would be a pay wall.
Feel lucky its way up near the cap.
You either buy in or accept mediocrity, this is the standard.
I wish the opposite, it needs to be easier and give less. It takes to long and is frustrating, and there is a huge credit disparity between those of us who can beat and those that get wiped after first 3-4 fights.
