I prefer the Dragonball Z style of power leaps.
1. Makes boring old content like raids easier/Auto.
2. Makes people invest in the next big meta wave or people like me will forever be stuck with our favourite team (Zaul) instead of a new team. In fact, if every team was balanced then any Tom, **** and Hairy is going to be able to hit 1 for payout, you’re not going to enjoy how much you drop or how much you’re going to have to climb in Squad Arena.
3. If all teams were balanced like RPS, then the only advantage you have is mods. I really don’t want this game to be Star Wars Galaxy of Mods even more so than it already is. Especially since my luck is craptastic and I haven’t gotten any god tier speed Secondaries on my mods.
And lastly, you don’t represent “Us”. At least that’s not what I see judging from the responses you’ve gotten so far.
If the problem is raids, then fix the raids, or release new ones that rely on specific synergy or character abilities (like the journeys) rather than power escalation.
I already climb every day to number 1, our shard rotates but has grown. I would welcome the variety.
No, balance means abilities, not gear (or mods as this game calls it; gear here is really just a prerequisite since you have no optionality around it).
I guess I only represent my top 50 arena shard, and my guild, who agree with me, vs the 4 people here who disagree. Of course there could be more folks out there of either opinion, it's not represented here in this obscure post on a forum that thousands do not read. And frankly I'm not interested in players' opinions as much as that of the devs.
I think you (and others) underestimate how "bad" it will get if the game was truly balanced in a rock/paper/scissors way without powercreep/leap. Do you think you'll still be able to get to rank 1 daily in a more balanced arena? Keep in mind that there are alot of players looking to take your spot if they had the chance. What's currently preventing them from doing exactly that is your superior team, take that away and it's going to be mayhem.
As for raids, people tend to like being able to keep improving. Being capped because there is no way to improve your score anymore since there's no "powerexcalation" is boring as heck. Take the sith raid for example, it has become a whole lot more enjoyable over time due to powercreep. Or the rancor, aren't you glad you can just auto the whole thing in 7min now?
It's fine if you're not interrested in the opinion of others, the same goes the other way around. The opinion of the devs on this matter has been pretty clear ever since the game's release though. Powercreep is the name of the game and 1 team to rule them all. You may not like it, you may try to change their minds, but they're just as interrested in your opinion as they are interrested in the next guy's opinion.
