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...

Sorry but imo but those complaints are amazing...
You are complaining that in a PVP portion of the game your opponents keep improving getting better and giving you a challenge? You admit that to you its the best rewards of the game and you want to it to be easy? Right AFTER you complained about nothing to do, sim'ing this and that etc.
You then complain that a 12 month player doesn't have an advantage over a 5 month player in tourneys... that is absolutely false. Even more so with the higher refresh costs where character depth is even more important. If your roster isn't deeper than a 5 month player that is your fault. Sure a newer player CAN save and out-spend but that means he gave up on rewards form other tourneys you DID get.
Time is a pretty big advantage in this game, granted it can be equalized by $$$ but that is fair imo at least more so than other p2w games. As metas change those with deep rosters, time to stock up on resources can shift to the new meta a lot faster than younger players.
You put little value in raids, that is really the crux of your problem right now. the AAT raid needs that depth... that depth helps you get more g10+ gear AND forces you to get roster depth which will help you with tourneys.
At a certain point end game has to be achieved and people should be on equal footing. You can't have a well I started before you there-fore I automatically win button.
I as a new player think time is a huge advantage... I am slowing down and starting to lose rank on my arena work BECAUSE I have to build way more teams than you old timers that got your arena team and your pit team maxed at 80 and could farm anyone else you wanted freely. You had the opportunity to build more of the rosters needed for haat without having to sacrifice nearly as much simply because you reached a smaller platou of "end game"
Now the end game is much larger... ~25 g10 level 85 toons instead of the 8-10 needed for just arena and pit + GW.
