Balance.. what do you think it means?
I read the word ‘balance’ in so many threads on here but it’s used is so many ways and it appears to have several meanings, so could someone clarify? I thought balance would mean that each characte...

That's probably the main reason i'm still playing, I love it. True balance would ruin this game for me.
(i'm f2p btw)
your main reason you are still playing is that you have CLS?
No, that's not the main reason i'm still playing. There are option within the meta that don't include cmdr luke, so whether i do or don't have cmdr luke is irrelevant in this matter.
I'm still playing because the game/meta keeps evolving, you always need to be on the look out for newer/better things. That keeps this game interresting and me entertained for the entire duration i've been playing (1year and 10months(!) on a freemium game). That people are willing to spend money on the latest addition to the game is a clear sign that it in fact makes the game more enjoyable. I personally would never spend money on a freemium game, but the system in place to keep people spending is also responsible for keeping me interrested in the game.
Simply put, i want to be able to outperform others with the decisions i make when playing this game. For example; I want to be able to rank higher in the hAAT raid than someone who didn't farm resistance or clones. Currently however I want others to be able to rank higher than me because i didn't 7* bb8. Same logic applies to arena. If someone has a better team than me he should be able to rank higher than me and vice versa. The crappy AI makes sure that winning on offence remains rather easy, so there will always be some wiggle room. That's another problem with "true balance", if all toons/teams were equal the attacking, human controlled team would always win. That way it wouldn't matter if you use, eeth koth, cup, JGK, greedo and bodhi or 5 legendary characters. Where's the fun in that? yea yea, i know. rock/paper/scissors. I haven't seen it work in arena like that ever, not even in that period of time that everyone keeps referring to. Hard counters to teams still get beat by the team they're supposed to counter.
As for cmdr luke himself, i'm growing increasingly more tired of using/fighting the same teams (cmdr luke/kenobi barriss), so i really hope something worthwhile drops soon! I'd welcome a meta shift with open arms currently.
PS. please note the bolted "to be able". I don't necessarilly need to outperform others, but there needs to be a possibility to do so, even if it's only available for the paying customer. That's why i would have still enjoyed the game if i didn't have cmdr luke.
Sorry for the wall of text.
