Overbooking Events is Hurting Players
CG, I'm an officer in a guild of ~380m GP. We are about to break our guild record in LSTB and get 30 stars. We got max stars last DSTB. Our guild has done a lot and has many good players. That being said, we are going to lose a handful of players purely on burn out from everything going on all at once, and every single one of them has stated that the game is taking too much time away from their family life.
I'm not trying to say to stop running events, but events need to be planned better to not coincide so much during the same time. LSTB requires a lot of time for many players, when you are remodding and running slower teams like mon mothma because of platoons you end up taking over an hour to do your phase battles. Then you have to do conquest on top of this in order to keep up with the new release because it might be needed for the next overly powerful fleet like the executor that will ruin TW. Then you need to focus on GAC which now has a much higher time commitment than before for smaller rosters and has your crystals on the line. Finally you have all your daily activities that also add up including raids like CPit, HSTR, and fleet climbs.
Simple rescheduling could help ease the feast or famine feeling that this game has content wise. For example, have conquest run during DSTB, and get rid of the day long breaks between TW and TB and squish those events together to allow for a free week that players can also focus on conquest. I'm sure there are better solutions than I can come up with today, but I'm pretty emotional about the number of friends that I've played this game with for over 4 years now are leaving due to the burn out that is happening right now due to the overbooking that is going on.
