Forget the new TB
This is the deciding factor for me: I have to have 20 or more r9 toons just to be eligible to play all the battles in the final phase? Not to win, just to have the option of playing. Other...

Okay, come on, folks.
I started this thread and I feel there are legitimate complaints to be made, but I'm not arguing for the actual battles to be easier to win.
The idea that there should be "easy, normal, and hard" modes is silly when we have Hoth and Geonosis TBs.
The next-level TB doesn't need to be easy. It just needs to be accessible.
Please remember that the mode opens to guilds at 200Mgp. If it opened at 500Mgp, I might not even have a problem with the requirements that currently seem obscene.
My guild was more than 440Mgp the last I checked and I doubt we have 4 players who could attempt 2 missions in day 4. That's more than double the entrance GP requirement, and 50% of the TB is simply forbidden to 90% of the players.
We don't need easy. We just need access. I don't care if I get slaughtered. I care if I don't get to play the game. Not wanting to get slaughtered will be enough of a motivation. I don't need a hard gate.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
I confess I was optimistic and looking forward to the new TB. But now having seen the details, this will likely fade into the background as something that's not even worth attempting for at least another year, and possibly longer.
I don't mind steep requirements that might need months of preparation - most of us have been acclimated to that through GL farms. This isn't months of preparation for my guild, this is years of preparation - and many of us are first-year players. At roughly 350m GP we might be able to field some teams in P1, but after that we'd be wrecked.
There are ways that this could have been done that would satisfy both the tip of the spear and the folks in the middle (you know... the folks getting about 20 stars in LS Geo) but I feel like they didn't even make an attempt at that. Difficulty should drive progression. Arbitrary gear gates are the least imaginative way to accomplish this. It feels lazy and contrived. I'm not impressed. The content itself may be amazing but it will be a long time before I'll get to find out. That just stinks.
