"All the new amazing toons and teams that can be coming for movies, books, cartoons, streaming shows do not mean crap from a money point of view if there is no where to use them to earn something outside of arena."
This is the main issue I see as a 13 month player. I've stopped spending on April 4th because of this very reason. Arena has become borderline chore material and I'm now stuck with a choice. Do I want to have fun and test some teams in arena and say bye to my 500 crystals every day? Of course not but all these teams don't and won't matter as long as this power creep continues in both Revans. GA is a great change of pace and a great start after they iron out there matchmaking system but other than that what is there? The same old same old.
