GP 7.5M- dolphin, 18 star ROTE
I feel like this is similar to Naboo in that one of the main teams was the Gungans. The only problem is that gungans were pretty new and non-accelerated. So they took a backseat to toons that I had close to ready or that I could farm quickly. I have started farming Gungans, but will never be able to use them in the Naboo raid because we will have moved on to the Order 66 raid.
Now here we are again, except there are 3 new teams (Mace lead team, New BB, Dark Clone Troopers). I guess my question for CG...do you realize how long it takes to farm non-accelerated hard-node characters, to then gear them up, then relic, then signal data, then omega and zeta them, then mod them? To get one toon from G1 to Relic 5 costs quite a bit of materials and time. Assuming you have some gear, kyros and some relic materials, you might be able to have one brand new team in 4 months. (My estimate is solely based on raid materials to get a toon past gear 12. It takes me two naboo raids and at least one ROTE to get one toon to relic). But that is at the neglect of most other parts of the game since you are spending crystal, kyros, signal, relic materials solely on those 5 toons. Sure you can spend crystals to up your cantina signal data farming, but if you are already spending crystals for non accelerated character refreshes, there aren't many crystals left. Even buying crystals, doesn't really help make a dent in the bottleneck(s). I think the main issue is the rewards haven't really been updated in this game to account for the increase in kyros, signal data, relic materials to get new toons up to speed. (Further, the requirements to really participate in the raids and new era battles are still quite high). This raid and recent "events" seem a bit out of touch with the players. *Assuming you want players to participate in the events.
