Game doesn't reward Player for Veterancy
TL;DR: Arena shards, Tournament brackets, and lack of new content create monotony and leave really old players playing for same rewards over months. When your enemy is almost always your peer (shardma...

I don't have more banked things, I couldn't place top 20 in arena whereas they could get 1 and get farm more gems and shoot right past me.
I was one of those people who had extremely hard GW. I didn't farm Anakin or Boba.
All your points are invalid from the perspective of a F2P
I have to disagree. I started in late April, am completely f2p, and have been top 5 in arena for a couple months now and top 10 for longer than that. I can get characters from any tournament I want if I've saved at least 200k ally points. I learned early on that this is not in fact a collection game, in the sense of pokemon. This is a game of focusing on maxing teams. The AAT raid is even further proof of that.
GW is only hard at max level if you have one max team and then a bunch g7/8 toons. GW at early levels is much harder and time consuming. If you don't believe me, start an alt.
@OP:
Players that were level 30-70 did not have an easier time getting characters from tournaments. They had to fight the early whales on their tourney shards. They didn't have a chance to get that character to 7* .
From what Ive heard, there are less whales in the earlier shards. But even if I concede tournaments are a reward for vets (which i dont, because many vets who try dont get decent rewards, tournaments are unenjoyable, brackets seem rigged, and as a less important note 200k allypoints means sacrificing ships or another tourney) then theres still the issue of playing for the same rewards for months. Its going to be that way for the AAT raid soon too and judging by
how long it took for the raid to come out its going to be like that for a really really
long time. Im not even that old of a player and my guild is near beating Heroic, so it really doesnt seem like the guys who started in 2015 really have much more on me. Plus raids are also unenjoyable for many too tbh.
I think some good well crafted events or the raaaare server wide tourney is a decent idea.
