Krayt...Manual play and RNG...bad?
I am getting annoyed at Krayt raid...more and more every time i play it. Raid has to be played in manual for best rewards...takes considerable time. WORSE...RNG is a BIG factor...i can do damage betw...

Look, whether you get crit or not, and thus how much damage you take, is random. This leads to decisions about which player to heal (or give immunity to, from BAM) that are different every run.
So do player decisions matter? Absolutely yes.
I also used to struggle to get close to max with Jabba. I was constantly getting between 1.50 and 1.75, with an occasional rare outlier maxing it out at 1.8 without me really understanding how I got there. It felt entirely RNG dependent.
What happened? I talked to my guild mates and based on conversations I remodded one toon an reprioritized certain abilities. Now it never takes me more than 2 tries to max out the Jabba squad and I get 1.8 on the first try a good 4 times out of 5.
Did the game suddenly have less RNG? Or did my play matter?
Obviously my play mattered. If you think it's all RNG, you're wrong. There are things you can do to maximize your chances of getting the score you want.
For the people who are frustrated, I hear you. I'm not saying you don't get to be frustrated. But for the people who are saying it's all RNG, that's just not the case. I wasn't playing the raid as well as I could, and I learned to do better. I'm not magical. I don't have some unique "get better at SWGOH" superpower. You can do it too, if that's what you want.
Of course, the game is a game. By definition if it's not fun, you should be changing how you play (or whether you play) to try to maximize the fun. Personally I blow off GAC b/c that's not where I get my fun in this game. It costs me crystals, but I'm still fine with that. It would cost me more crystals to completely burn out and quit.
If the Krayt raid is killing the fun and learning the raid better isn't what you want to do, that's fine. Don't do that. Do something else fun.
But I want you to know you have the option. The raid isn't all RNG or my scores would never have gotten better.
