Did tb kinda kill this game?
Since the release of tb, numbers have been steadily dropping. I've seen it in guild, in shard chat, on reddit, in all the recruitment threads here and on fb. As each tb finishes, it seems more and mor...

There is a general feeling of burnout happening due to TB.
While it's true, the largest part of TB is designed to increase the power of those who spend the most, there has also been an observable number of those players quit as well.
I believe a big part of the problem is due to unrealistic expectations of characters needed.
First you needed to get CLS and then the both twins. Next came CHS so that you could get ROLO. These were not exactly easy to get but they were obtainable.
Once we got into actual gameplay and started seeing platoons is when the real problem began. Needing millennium falcons which were all but impossible to get were a joke. As if that wasn't bad enough there were other ships needed that weren't even available as well like cassians u-wing. At least some of these have become farmable and they are decent ships.
But what about the character platoons? Rare ewoks that no one wanted, stupid lobots that are even more ridiculous. These toons are pretty worthless yet are needed en mass. In our TB the last phase requires 12 lobots alone: 8 are in the bottom section!! This doesn't even count all the ewoks and other rare toons needed.
Yes, TB should be hard and a group effort, but it needs to be realistic as well.
