Yes, there is power creep, but with a game like this, there always will be, especially if they are keeping the game interesting in new and creative ways. I for one think CG has done an excellent job at keeping power creep to a minimum. (See all the complaints when Revan was released about how he could be beat by multiple other factions.) Not to mention that they keep power creep in mind and do period reworks for weaker factions or add new characters to weaker factions that make them viable again. If adding Chewie and 3P0 makes CLS teams viable in Arena again, then they are actually part of the solution, and not part of the problem.
