I can understand not having a sim option for Marquees, as well as events that require the latest/featured GL (like right now, Endor 3 and the UJ tier that require Leia). But as for everything else, YES! 100%! AGREE!
Some events don't take that much time, like Fleet Mastery events, while others take up a total of at least half an hour if not more. Look at Ultimate Journey, right now we have 8 GLs and it takes about half an hour to complete. But what happens when we suddenly have 12 or 14 or even more GLs? We've had a lot of these events for long enough, there is no reason why we should still have to do them over and over and over again. We already have to spend an incredible amount of time on GAC, TBs, TWs, Conquest, Raids, Fleet Arena, who knows what else. And those events become frustrating and the amount of time spent becomes even larger when you factor in difficulty, bugs, DCs and RNG that forces us to do multiple attempts (looking at you Naboo raid). I mean, we do have lives outside of the game. We have jobs, hobbies, family, I would like to be able to read a book every once in a while, or at the very least not collapse and then spend what's left of the day exhausted beyond measure.
But I doubt we're going to see changes any time soon. And just you wait. Before you know it, someone is going to come in here saying that it's the players' fault for reaching the burnout point in the first place. YES, this is a game, nobody is forcing us to play it, we can leave or take a break any time we want. At the same time, this is a game, it shouldn't feel like a chore, we should be able to enjoy it, let me rephrase that, we should be able to enjoy as much of it as we can, without having to choose between becoming tired while progressing or sacrificing progress to avoid exhaustion. And for anybody who doesn't like SIM options (currently available and possible ones in the future), nobody is forcing you to use them, you can still play manually if you want or have the time. Nobody here is asking for the entire game to become easily beatable even for newer accounts, but there is also no reason for us to keep working on events like SR II that we've beaten a hundred times already while also having to worry about both TB and Conquest at the same time.
