Squad Arena

I would love to see the rewards for GA and Squad Arena flipped so that GA becomes the primary focus of PvP. There are so many reasons why GA is a superior mode and a better test of rosters.

Agreed

I don't want to be at the mercy of matchmaking when it comes to crystal earning, so no thanks.
(i've won 21 out of 24 GA rounds)

There should be a option in squad arena with no Revans, might actually be fun again.

I dunno if it'd be lower tho, really. Cuz there's only, what, a max of 24 ppl per shard who can get first place rewards? If they cycle up each hour, which is unlikely. And that's if they spend insane amounts of time slogging thru revan after revan every day lol. If they equalized it, or made it based on participation, players in the lower and middle end would get much more from it.
As it is now tho is pretty terrible for the average player.

I get what you mean, but I've come to hate squad Arena. Only run the two needed for daily challenges, on auto. Cuz every team is the same, revan with speed mods. Soon it will be all Darth revan, and those who paid for him will get all the goods. It's just a terrible reward scheme.
I'd much rather see it become a practice arena, with your allies listed rather than random ppl grouped into shards based on start time. Then give the rewards for completing battles or something.

I think not liking a game mode isn't a good enough reason to just move the rewards over to a game mode you do like.
fwiw, i really disliked it when they added crystals to the fleet arena rewards, so it's not like i'm unfamiliar with the feeling.

Previous examples of this coming down the pipeline have ended up with less rewards, but yes more spread out..... just not sure if that's a good thing.

Yea, all valid points. I just wish they'd do something with it. I don't think it's changed at all since I started playing years ago.

I've never met anyone who actually enjoys squad Arena, they just do it for the rewards.

squad Arena is primarily pay to win, and needs to be put to an end.

Ofcourse players who pay get a leg up vs those that don't, but i still wouldn't consider arena p2w.
Also, it remains to be seen whether or not spending on DRevan actually gives you a leg up vs those that didn't, it's not looking promissing at the moment.

I get that for some aspects of the game, but how many ppl are in each shard? I've seen up to 2,000 ranks. That means that a very small percentage are actually getting the high end rewards in arena, which seems ridiculous to me. Back when there were a dozen competing meta teams it wasn't an issue, but now it's one team taking the top 100.
They broke it a long while back. It's not fun or engaging, it's not competitive at all. It's all about who pays for new metas, and they get all the crystals.
