Bit of a SWGOH old timer here. Not hating the global system entirely, but also not loving this participation system. I wish I could preset a team ahead of time before GA event starts, let my defense go live and only fight if I feel like it without being punished into losing the base crystal payout. Things are busy, I got stuff to do. Just let me chill -_-

I get it, I guess, but the attack phase is 24 hours. Takes 2 minutes to login, start a battle, and quit. If you can’t find 2 minutes out of 1440 on a day, I don’t know what to tell you. They set it up so people that don’t participate don’t get rewards to prevent giving crystals to people that don’t do anything. I don’t understand why people always want rewards for not doing anything in this game.

I get it, and I can totally run 1 battle most days of the week. But sometimes I just want a break. I had 10 hrs of straight work, some plans after and I just don't want the stress of looking at an opponent who has spent thousands of dollars on their full team of GLs, haha. Is it really too much to give me the minimum crystals for those types of days?

It takes literally 2 minutes to log participation. Bare minimum. You’re still asking for crystals for doing absolutely nothing.

Lose, collect your 10 banners and you're done. that part would take far less than 2 minutes. Were you not playing regular arena or fleet arena on a daily basis either so as not to see other people's expensive teams?

Cost of progress. Crystals are out of Squad Arena, but you can no longer sit back and do nothing unless you only want to get the crystals for your League daily.

So i set my 4 teams. Was there something else I was supposed to do? It says I didn't particpate, but I thought i did

If you're looking for rewards for minimal effort: During each attack phase (3 times per week with a 24 hour window each time), attempt at least 1 battle.

Setting a defense once a week is recommended but not required for receiving rewards.

You can, you get crystals every day sent to your inbox. You don't need to do anything to get them, you just won't get the additional ones for the active GAC.

Okay, solid point, you do get something regardless. Your critique is the most fair so far. I just feel like setting a defense is still participation I didn't just leave it to the AI to set it for me.

This is still A LOT less work (doing one battle) compared to squad arena

You are still getting crystals for doing no amount of work

I don't understand your complaint, you are getting a daily inflow of crystals, if you do nothing, but you are required to put in a lot less work than squad arena does given your schedule

My thoughts too. 1 battle (win or lose) 3 times per week in a 24 hour window is way less effort than 1-10 (win only) battles daily in a 1-2 hour window. And GAC success isn't so reliant on chasing the Meta (I guess this depends on the bracket), but I've climbed from Aurodium 2 to Kyber 3 with 1 GL (no ult yet).

And there's even a 1-week vacation between GAC events scheduled every 5 weeks.
