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...

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 **** 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.
I see it differently. You want better rank in haat without investing in resistance and clones. Resistance and clones players are rewarded with better haat. But can they match CLS on the arena or even hpit? I do not think so. Some time ago maul teams were meta but they were and they are 1 of the worst teams in raids. But of course new CLS must be good everywhere.
I play resistance and I did not get bb8 because it was impossible for me without spending money. And what? People with bb8 and garbage resistance deal much more dmg than me.
I am not saying random characters should match meta teams but random legendary characters also should not do that either but they do because they are overpowered.
As f2p player the only reason you got CLS in first try was probably the fact that you had enough time to gather those shards unlike to newer f2p players.
If you are looking for something new, Talzin teams can defeat those CLS teams even on auto but guess what shards and gear cost.
You misread, i want players with resistance and/or clones to do better in hAAT.
Anyway, it's fine that you see things differently. We are all allowed to have different opinions. I just wanted to explain my point of view in more detail, mainly that it wasn't just about cmdr luke, but about being able to perform better than others and that the system in place to keep people spending is also responsible for keeping me interrested in the game.
Every meta has it's own "OP" character or combo, sometimes that character or combo is more powerfull than it needs to be. I can live with that, it hasn't stopped me from being competative to a certain degree in arena eventhough i didn't have a couple of the characters that were "OP" at a certain point in time. The choices i made did however stop others from being able to compete with me, i value that more than having a more "ballanced" game. Even if it means i am the one who isn't able to compete. This may sound strange, but i like it when my leaderboard's whale fields a team i'm unable to beat.
