On another note, putting aside the crystals invested (seriously, it's our fault. They never clearly said a 100% fixed date and difficulty. We just throw crystals and gear at the OR toons to have them unjustifiably sooner) it's probably for the best if there are more DRs than there were JKRs after the first event.
You can't shake up the meta if you add 5 DRs to the sea of over a hundred JKRs. You just lock the top 5 spots. DR does not seam unbeatable, unlike JKR. Traya or CLS might counter him reliably.
But in order to let them get close to DR in the first place, you need more Sith Empire teams to spread around the top 50, not just the top 5 spots.
I really wouldn't like to see 40 DR's in top 50, but neither do I think it's a good idea to make him the bulletproof #1 arena payout team for less than 10 people each shard.
We've all spent on DR, some of us hoarded crystals, probably pumped up with another 50 bucks, others might have bought the OR toons for hundreds of dollars from their marquee time. But we should all take one for the team and let this monotonous meta die for once. If there are not enough DRs, for most of the arena the JKR madness will go on for another several months. I'm not bored yet, but I wouldn't support it for another 3 months either.
And unless someone wants to play this game for just a few more months, it's probably better to leave these exclusivity demands behind. The game won't be running for long if a meta like JKR is the new trend.
