It pits me against other returning players too, while giving me a little bit more crystal income to catch back up to the active players who have been playing for awhile. I mean the inactive players aren't using the arena rewards are they?
The fast track getting back into the game is spending a lot of money, which I would be a lot more willing to do if I could be competitive or at least eventually be competitive.
I really just wanted this idea to get some visibility so that it could be considered if seen by the right people. They are trying to make things easier for newer players with the increase in shard drops (which is amazing). This would just tack on to that great idea for helping a large group of players get back into the game. With all the new star wars shows coming out, there will absolutely be a lot of returning players to this game.
