Does anyone else feel like red crates are no longer worth the effort?

Sometimes, but most I can figure out my way through here. I did two battles. One with Jabba lead BHs. I did another with JML lead, Hoda, Yoda, JKR, and Shaak. Let her basic as much as possible and with assists.

Depends on effort. For me nothing changes for years, in most cases red crate either very easy or plain impossible because I don't have strong enough required faction. Middle ground is pretty rare.

If it's one of the really annoying ones that needs perfect RNG and 20 attempts, I'll usually try a few times, get T8 and come back to it if I'm really bored or need to prove to my guild mates that it's possible.

When experience issues with content increasingly requiring more recent characters and still occasionally very old characters not useful elsewhere at the moment all whilst we balance what to farm, we face claims these are non-issues by those with more mature rosters. Funny, my motivation for developing my roster is to be able to achieve more rewards and I push to achieve as much as possible but there are sometimes when I just do not have the right line up. But there is a distinct lack of awareness for some players with larger rosters that the ease they experience in a task is because of the breadth of their roster. So when some question efficiency, it is not the rewards are not desirable for two battles worth. It is we “do not” all have the “BitDynasty” optimal squad (even something as old as Carth OR). And instead of 2 attempts, we find ourselves using less optimal or under levelled squads requiring 30-50 attempts until the stars align with the best possible RNG. In this case, if the frustration is driving you crazy, yes absolutely get the 2 omicron and call it a day. And hope the next one matches what you already have developed. The nature of this game often means the level of difficulty is relative to what you have available. So developing rosters are playing a much more difficult game. It is not very helpful to gaslight or brag? about how easy you personally find it. Unless you want to provide a range of suggestions with some common core squads and less premium versions. For instance the one with BH worked well with premium BH (greef and Mando) but just executor BH were often destroyed. The RNG in GC is also wild, “I did it first time with x” could just be very fortunate. I have done so in the pass with a line up, shared it with someone else who failed to reproduce it, then went to try again and failed to reproduce it myself in another 20 battles. I was just lucky. There is no disconnect with the people with larger rosters. If you don't have the team for the GC you aren't going to be able to do it. That's not new, and still happens to me at 10.8M GP, so that I occasionally have to take the t8 or t9 box. Not a big deal.If you can't even do that with your roster... well, that's just how it goes. Work on those teams if you want to beat the GC's. That's kind of the whole point of the game.

How much effort are we talking?

It's almost always worth 4 or 5 attempts. If it's one of the really annoying ones that needs perfect RNG and 20 attempts, I'll usually try a few times, get T8 and come back to it if I'm really bored or need to prove to my guild mates that it's possible.

Define effort?
I spend about 15 mins on them and than done (depending on num of battles needed).

I think this is a thing again where you are in the game. If you don't have every GL, some of those challenges are quite difficult or even impossible. Even if you have high Relics on the specific factions it is sometimes not possible without the specific GL.

100% most of them are not just get gold crate on some of these bc they are not worth the frustration and some of us are not blessed with 10mill accounts with every toon

I’m perfectly happy allowing my future opponents to believe that omicrons aren’t worth the effort.
