If there's a lame waste of time it's Squad Arena! The rewards are so lame it's not worth the time or effort to play. It's mandatory to play only to max out your dailies, but if it wasn't I don't think many would use valuable time to engage it. It only takes a year to max out all the characters in the shipment rewards using Squad Arena tokens so the only thing leftover is salvage pieces that are useless after you have over 1,000 of them! What then, why not end the lame salvage pieces and really put in something we use all the time like zeta's, or chromium transistor for relicing characters.

They made it lame on purpose, and thank goodness.

Its one of the very few places you can get Prestige, which you can never have enough of lol. I generally use the currency for that or gear to salvage. Its also a nice spot to test out counters. Considering that you only have to do one battle to get the daily and you can just go in and forfeit, I don't think it takes up that much time if you don't want to engage in it

The more people that think SA is lame the better. Makes it easy for me to collect top rewards and keep my gear coming in.

It is the closest we get to a sandbox. Trying out strategies and squads that you may wish to use later in TW or elsewhere is incredibly helpful. But the rewards aren't high, it's true, and you don't have to play a full battle if you don't want to. Start a battle, withdraw/forfeit, take you daily reward and move on.

1 forfeit battle gets me the daily and floating around 50th. I would never dream to put in the time to climb to 1st for an extra 250 crud tokens. Occationally I test out teams though.

The really small amount of gear? Sure, you can have it.

Not enough to matter, unless you are gonna play another 100 years, but like I said, you can have it.

This 100%. The gear from squad arena tokens means I haven't run out of CCB or BW salvage in some time. Easy relic salvage for minimal effort.

What's actually lame is after 10,000 wins, getting five Vader shards as the prize.
I mean, if it was five Clone Wars Chewie shards, THEN it would be worth it!
