New players have no chance....

New players have plenty of chance, I've had a guild for over 2 years and I've watched many noobs gets very strong. As a matter a fact, all characters are capped so if you play long enough you'll catch up to long time players. I also have a few newer players that can score higher in some raids due to them modding better and being the same gear level as me.

So saying that new players don't have a chance is a false statement. Remember, some have spent 3 years grinding and many even took 2 years to unlock Sims in GW. New players have it so much easier in lots of areas of the game but they will never even know that. We were the game testers and we dealt with lots of bugs.

I know my post is all over the place but that's how this game has been. As for the arena, everyone used to complain when rebels ran that place but no one talks about them anymore. It will be the same way next year, new characters, new arena. The game will always change, play for fun and you won't be stressed. If you play to rank then the game won't be as fun.

You are essentially saying since things are easier now for them nothing should change. Applying your logic then the world should freeze right now for our kids because our kids had it easier then us. We had it easier then our parents and so on and so on. That argument isn't a valid argument and never has been since people started using it.

You had one noob do well. We had 2 do well and roughly 100 quit as I said in my original post. If we are going to use what you posted as a poster for why nothing should change. Well then my number would show a poster that says something clearly should change. Ultimately neither one means anything but don't try to validate your opinion by saying 1 person did alright

It isn't that hard for newer players to catch up. In fact, CG made it easier with the release of revan

While revan was ptp first go, a player starting out could get him by the time he returns. Yes, it's a grind. Three hard nodes and two cantina nodes. But, they are on nodes that are farmable pretty early on. So probably 6 mo for a new player to get revan depending on the timing of the events. Yeah some will just miss the event and that sucks for them but it can't be helped.

So with a fully geared revan team, new players are competitive in arena. Can do pretty big dmg in hstr, can solo haat. Not sure how it does on rancor but a second solo squad is pretty easy to get. Granted revan is just a p2 team so you may have to get into a guild that has a few older players to actually complete hstr.

Tw, ga, and tb will take a bit longer to bit longer to be at the top since they req multiple teams. But within 6 months you can be beating content at all areas of the game. So it's hardly 2 years.

I'm not sure if you read what you posted or not. Let's say Revan comes around in 6 months sure you could easily farm up the Toons needed. Still have to gear them to beat the event and that is one event in 6 months.

So 6 months roughly for Revan to farm and gear to beat the event. Now let's add another 6 for Chewie, Thrawn, CLS etc. That's not even counting the squads you have to farm AND gear to get the Toons to be able to do those events. I could list the squads and gear level required to help get those legendary nut you already know how many is needed. Tbh it takes roughly 4 to 6 months to unlock most teams if RNG is in your favor but then you have to gear them and deal with the purposeful bottlenecks. So again it is taking far to long for new to mid level players to their feet up off the ground.
