Be careful of what you wish for. Rey is now a real easy farm and one of the very few precious characters f2p has in their arsenal to battle against the whales for now and future. You think nerfing rey will solve problems?, It wont. But it has the potential of creating more. Think about it.
Personally, I don't care. Just some of you need to be more aware.

Yep. If Rey and QGJ (and maybe GS) were nerfed, f2p players wouldn't even kill one character in arena against a good p2p squad. Also, fully-maxed RG, Fives, and Sun Fac would dominate arena with their survivability.

Also, I see more max-geared, fully-omega'd Reys than any other character. Word is out that she's good, so people are investing in her. Nerf calls are premature until other characters are also more prevalent at max gear/abilities, to see how they match up.

I definitely vote to just buff a few other attackers.

As a f2p that's an absurd statement. Most of the p2p characters aren't all that special. Look at the top of your servers most of the top 10 teams are comprised of mostly of not completely f2p characters namely: RG, Fives, and Dooku.

What completely p2p squad have you played against that would be so devastating if Rey got nerfed?

I'm surprised people disagree with this, actually. The top 10 on my server is all p2p toons plus Rey and RG. No GS, no Dooku, some QGJ, some Old Ben, some Fives. There's typically 2 or 3 out of Leia, Sun Fac, Rex, and Aayla on every single team. Without Rey and Leia, I just don't see how you beat a team of Ben, Sun Fac, RG, Fives, Aayla (maxed) within 5 minutes.

Edit: There is one team that is in the top 10 around payout, consisting of Dooku, QGJ, GS, Rey, RG. That's what I'm guessing is the most common that others are seeing, based on https://swgoh.gg/meta-report/
I find that team a *ton* easier to beat than the p2p whale teams I mentioned above.
