So you're in a young shard. I don't know if you're experiencing what we between 2 and 3 millions gp (playing since like January 2017) are experiencing. From 50 to 1 everyone has the same lineup (and the same first reinforcement) and you're basically having the same battle over and over again, depending on whether your tie dodges or on whose chimaera is faster. Do you know what happened to the top of our arena shard? Completely turned upside down. Everyone in my shard chat was buried under 30-40 (while we previously occupied the slots going from 1 to 20) and guess who went on the top? Shoppers. Almost only shoppers. Why? Because they instantly threw a fat hundred or two into geonosians and/or new ships materials, gaining the usual advantage they gain when the devs build a paywall. Only this time it is not a single character, it is a whole part of the game.

Not that I doubt you (being in a younger shard and under 1m GP myself), but you would be the first person I've heard saying that all the mature shards are running to geonosians. All I hear is that it's the same stale Biggs/Vader/TFP/Slave 1 meta as before, across the board.

If Geonosians are truly rising in power, I'd expect to be hearing more about it (and see it starting to happen too, since they're not exactly hard farms).

Oh no I'm not saying that everyone turned to geonosians. It was an "and/or". Someone actually did, but most people run vader tie biggs + slave like everyone else. The shoppers thing is a variable we all know well, it is in every new thing they release. It is not the main concern about this update.
