This.
Gosh I get bored of reiterating it. Some people just don't seem to want to listen.
Well aren't you a smart know-it-all.
There are people like me who just started to play the game.
Not everyone knows everything about the game and the forum.
I play for two and a half months now and I very much like the game.
For me the fleet battles even were the best part of it.
But now it gets changed just because some of you reached the point where they have everything and are bored with the meta.
But there will be another meta and you'll get bored again.
Oh, I see, after 2,5 months, your ship shard hasn't yet reached the usual degenerate state. Mature shards right now are just the same fleets over and over ad nauseam and the outcome is pretty much decided by a dice roll, so a lot of people don't even bother to play more than the one match for daily activity. Trust me, it is a problem that needs to be addressed.
You forgot to add "in my opinion". I also like the current iteration of fleets - and I've been playing for over 2 and half years. Suggesting that outcomes are decided at random is either disingenuous or suggests a lack of understanding of how the mechanics in fleet arena currently work. The player has significantly more control on the outcome of a fleet arena battle than a squad arena battle.
IMHO, there is no "problem" in fleet arena that needs to be addressed. Unfortunately, I won't be at all shocked when this "fix" is buggy and, amazingly, at the same time causes everyone to have to farm and level new pilots and new ships to deal with the new meta.
It's not necessarily random, but I have a lot more control in arena than in fleet, just via opponent selection. In arena I get to pick fights with EP teams, other JTR teams, Rex teams, NS teams, CLS teams...etc. And beyond that, I can pick teams with a slower BB8, or a too-slow Vader, etc. In fleet my choices are Chim/Reaper/TF/FOTF/Vader/Biggs, or Chim/Reaper/TF/FOTF/Vader/Biggs, or Chim/Reaper/TF/FOTF/Vader/Biggs...and they're all maxed with no mods so there's no variation. My TF or the other TF, who goes first has nothing to do with mods, it's completely random.
