Phase 2 is the one going on during Thanksgiving, and you have 24 hours to do it (and it can be completed on Friday). Everyone just looks for things to complain about. You can probably complete it on auto, since you say you are a high end player and all. Or just skip it if you can’t spare a few minutes. Is it that big of a deal if your guild decides to take a star or two less for the TB because you would rather spend every possible minute with your family? Will you complain about GW and everything else that still “has to be done” that day?

Thanks for being that guy Bulldog1205!
I’m sorry, I just find it hilarious when people complain about having to play a game. It’s a game. If you don’t want to play then don’t play. Missing 1 day isn’t going to kill you. I’m personally glad I’ll have more to play on a day I get off from work.
How long have you been playing this game? I think your point of view is incredibly naive. Sure you're talking about one day but he's talking about the aggregate of time of events and features of SWGOH. The original posters point is this:
The game is structured so in order to advance at the top end of the game you have to be in a guild. If you want the best rewards -- and the best rewards are not that great to be honest -- you have to be in a good guild. If you are in a good guild you have requirements such as doing your 600 everyday. In order to be efficient in getting your 600 you have to play within the designated times to get your free energy. You can't just get on in the morning or in the evening and do all your requirements and then not worry about the game the rest of the day. This is a design decision to keep you in the game longer so you have more opportunity to spend money.
TB is a whole new ball game. The magic number is 41+ stars. That's pretty much what most guilds are shooting for. So now you have to make sure you have the right teams and you have to take time to plan your character upgrade strategy. And now that we have the 41 stars on farm they introduce DS TB and TW and they plan on adding a ton of characters the next few months so you have something to use for DS TB. Furthermore, you have to make sure you have the right characters to get 1st in both arena and fleet so you get those crystals, because even if you spend money on the game, every crystal helps. And if you want to stay top in arena, it means that you pretty much have to participate in every legendary event. And why do you have to do all of this? Because in a top tier guild, the other people in your guild are counting on you and if individuals don't perform up to expectation you get kicked from the guild or your best people leave your guild to go to some other guild who are performing this way.
The in game chat sucks so pretty much everyone in a guild should be using some 3rd party chat program such as discord, slack, line, etc. So you are spending time in the game and you have to monitor developments in your guild chat since participation in your guild chat is a requirement.
Don't even get me started about being a guild officer and making sure everything runs smoothly in the guild.
So this "game" just turned into a job. And who wants to work two jobs.
And for those people out there who are going to jump into the thread and say things about casual game play, some people aren't wired that way. Why do something if you aren't going to do it to the best of your ability. For us being mediocre isn't fun.
