The grind is insane in this game. I just spent almost 8 million gold, (all I had saved up these past few days), to upgrade a few mods and get 5 BH up to lvl 75!

Credits (gold) are an early and mid-game problem. You will reach a point where you've basically taken everyone you need to level 85, and you'll have nothing to spend credits on other than mods.

Also can I ask another question? How long did it take you guys to get to a good point in the game? I felt like I was grinding a ton over the past 3 months, I play a good amount each day while listening to music or watching tv, I complete all the daily challenges every day and I come back to sim specific battles when I get bonus energy...how long does it take to become 'good' in your eyes? This is an INSANELY grindy game, and it's really hard to upkeep my four main squads because my main Phoenix squad was started way before the others, and it's been hard to bring the other squads up to my main without having to use resources on my main to keep up with my growing level. Do you guys have tips? Right now I'm trying to level up four squads: my main Phoenix squad, a clone trooper squad, an empire squad, and a bounty hunter squad, but it's really hard to divide my resources among 20 characters at once, but if I dont they'll fall behind and I'll only have the Phoenix squad as a genuine squad.

Sorry if that was worded terribly!

You got to Level 82 in 3 months, that taked me a Month or something like that

Grats?

Is it bad? Also seriously

Also didn't spend

Potentially miss-remembering?

Level 82 with a 850 crystal spend per day (6 normal energy and 3 cantina energy refreshes) including all bonus energy collected and leveling energy included takes 75.8 days and a further 20 days to level 85.

Considering the max daily crystal income before level 60 when ships unlock is ~600 and that would rely on you consistently hitting first in area (without spending) and subsequently consistently hitting first in ships also without spending?

There was a brief period after the new starter guild announcement where they gave away experience like candy for quests but even that wouldn't have covered getting to lvl 80+ in a month.

These days realistic time frame for leveling f2p is 22.5 days to level 60 (with 1 cantina and 2 normal refreshes for 200 crystals a day). After opening ships and being able to do 1 extra normal energy refresh per day you can get from lvl 60 to 80 in ~60 days, then from 80 to 85 another ~40 days. You're looking at a total of ~122 days to level 85 f2p, minus a couple for bonus refreshes and xp you pick up here and there.

Regarding OP comments about balancing, people obviously have different opinions on what is and isn't balanced but I think most people (and the devs - although can't speak for them obviously) only consider a team/character unbalanced if the only way to beat it is with a mirror match. That obviously makes more things seem unbalanced early game (first year or two) when you don't have many options for teams to use and don't have the "right" counter developed yet. Having it set up this way is obviously best for the devs as it means there's basically always another team you need to develop and you can't get away with just working on one team to max out that can beat everything in the game that's available to you at your current point of progression.

I clearly remember that it was a Month or so maybe 1 and half

I seriously doubt that, it takes a week of grinding to upgrade a few characters from gear lvl 7 to gear lvl 8.
