According to @CubsFan2016 https://youtube.com/watch?v=rMpaRUsjnG4 all of the gamechangers have their test accounts back. EA, please reverse this--it simply breaks the difficulty of 3v3 Grand Arena since some people / guilds can literally test anything. The fun part of 3v3 for me is having to theorycraft how 3 person teams will do. There is really no way to test outside of the GA unless you are lucky enough to share a shard with a guildmate or other willing person. That's the fun/challenge. Don't ruin this experience by doing this please.

Yeah seems kinda unfair, now there'll be a small few people with access to unlimited theory crafting that we will have to battle Agaisnt AND their guild members will have access to them and their findings on a much larger scale then say someone who watches their videos

You could also not watch them. Its your choice. There are enough people who do appreciate and do not share your view. There are also enough Youtubers on SWGOH that don't have a test account and do the same thing. So your point is void.

There's no chance you'll be matched against them.

I was saying they have unlimited theory crafting so will be far more experienced and ready for stuff like 3v3 which most people can't test out like they can. No where did anyone mention going up against their test accounts

Even if we don’t watch them, those with a test account have an unfair advantage since they can test out different teams and not put their findings in a video to share with other players. Imagine if one of the gamechangers found out in their testing that some team like the Veterans under Lando lead is a hard counter to Revan, and they never told anyone. I think it’d be better if CG just didn’t give the gamechangers test accounts. IMO if they want to make videos, they can do it on their own accounts like they’ve been doing lately or borrow someone else’s footage.

Test Accounts are Back? Seriously, why?

What's void about a player having access to a resource you can't have access to. Anyone can watch their videos that's a choice. You cant just choose to have a test account

Guess they got better NDAs now if they are reactivating those accounts.

I still watch their videos and make my own decisions. Every single game changer said Mission sucked and was worthless to gear. Then there's me that uses her all the time and has her at gear 12 and I don't care what they say. You can take their advice with a grain of salt and make your own teams bro.

Isn't the main purpose of the test accounts to help "promote" new characters. Game Changer gets shiny new character early, raves about how good it is/possible uses, consumers (us) proceed to buy said character.

Granted regarding an unfair advantage, I agree. It does give them and their guild unlimited resources and game modes for testing possible strategies/synergies.
