I have dozens of characters I could promote or activate. Some I can even take all the way to 7-stars, but they remain unactivated. GA actively penalizes you for doing so unless you can activate, promote, level, and gear up an entire squad at once (with the exception of a few characters that don't need a specific squad to go with them, like Nest).Do you think this is what CG wants? What does your roster look like, post-GA?

The last thing I worry about is activating a character....I wont upgrade a character I dont plan on using but the few thousand gp increase from activating anything isnt going to make a bit of difference if you know how to play...

I did sand bagging and then I decided to just promote and level and gear whoever I want and had zero difference in the difficulty of my opponents

I find it hilarious that people want to limit their ability to thrive in every other game mode just to face a few easier opponents in one game mode that doesn’t even reward crystals

Snap! I play Star Wars: Galaxy of un-activated Heroes Online too...

Go ahead, play the way you want to play. But when I’m using all of my characters to win TW or TB, or getting new and diverse legendarys, I feel a little better knowing that I’m not holding back characters for some gear and a zeta. Oh and maybe you could upgrade some different toons so that you could get crystals from arena. Just a tip.

No and what my roster is like,

There is no penalty in sandbagging. There is no “Your toons start with no protection if you have 20 toons over gear 12” clause

Its a lot easier to win GA with Enfys Nest, General Kenobi and bb8 than without it even if it means a small GP boost

Nest is activated and being powered up at the moment but I don't have the resources to spare for General Carbanti right now and no spot for BB8 yet so there's no point activating them until I do.

Leaning out the bottom of my roster and bulking up the top helped give me a shot at victory with my fleet-heavy roster but it's only a matter of time before someone builds a min-maxed alt from the ground up.

Nice filters on that list. Yeah, you have seven characters that aren't 7-star. Total. By that point, I can't think of anything that would noticeably impact your matchmaking in GA.

Only if you can gear them to a useful level immediately. If you can unlock them but only get them to g8 (looking at you, Kenobi and all your carbs and stun guns), then that GP boost puts you against stronger opponents without actually giving you anything to combat them with. A few thousand GP is negligible, but it adds up quickly.

GK is part of the JKR meta. I would suggest starting on him, whoever did not have him unlocked.

It does not make sense that deadweight GP damages GA. But I don’t understand why people want to limit their roster for mediocre rewards. The game is so much more than GA.

Yeah, thats a sound strategy. I've seen some people that just refuse to activate toons even if they are A-list toons just to prevent GP inflation

The reason why I have seven characters left is because I've been promoting every other toon I've had since GA was released which was my point at the end of the previous post. The game doesn't penalize you for doing this
