Character interaction on offence has become so complex at the top level that if your using any team consisting of thrawn dn gk you can win. Nothing holds on defence, mods gear and star level are becoming less and less a factor as well as characters are starting to deal in absolutes like thrawn and Dn. I know the level cap increase is coming and so is gear 12 but an easy fix is making star levels matter more not just in stats! Each star level should have different abilities or abilities locked until higher star levels are reached. 6 star characters like thrawn or even 5 star characters like chaze have no business being even competitive against 7 star right now there's nothing that sets anyone apart. Even pve at the top end comes down to rng now... I'm almost thinking this is EAs new direction have everyone scrambling to achieve something that isn't achievable.

Whales have problems too bro, I'm only Whaley cause I've been playing since release :)

So a 7* gr 8 ShT must be harder to kill than a 5* gr 11 ShT. Same with my 7* Greedo should be better than this dummy 5* Thrawn. It's not the solution, the top arena is already hard to access due to the crazy speed secondary on mods that you need. Allowing that would only access top arena to the whales. But it's maybe what you want.

What I'm saying is a 7 star greedo should be substantially better then a 5 star greedo, and a 7 star gear 8 should still be better then a 5 star gear 11, star level should be the most influencetial stat.

It's completely out of the way the game is designed from literally the moment you start playing. However my roster would SIGNIFICANTLY improve. Every single 7* purple is now viable, instead of 0 hit fodder? Uh, sure.

Stars already matters but for attacker more than the other. I would never run an attacker at 4* in arena like Fulcrum for example. I think it doesn't matter if a support or a tank is less starred than another one. The difference for tanks will be that they'll have less health and armour, but it can be compensated by protection and defense mods.
Since they introduced modules, stars are less important except for attackers. All is now matter of mods in the biggest part and gears..

So I spend a month farming gear pieces for a 5 star toon, only to be out done by a G7, 7 star of the very same toon? Yeah, that sounds kitten fantastic. Gear and mods, in most cases are harder to farm than shards. I see no problem with the current situation.

I get it dude doesn't make sense too you, and I'm being super picky but at the top everyone has the best toons max gear and mods all in the same ballpark, and at that level in a mirror match a 6 star DN 5 star thrawn shouldn't be able to beat a full 7 star team with equal gear and mods 99% of the time it should be more around 60% of the time that's all I'm saying.

You're confusing power creep with stars not mattering at all. Those 2 characters specifically can function at non maxed level because their kits are nuts, and neither relies on damage to be crazy effective. As an added bonus they both are recent releases, which tend to be quite a bit tankier then older toons, so a lower star level doesn't hurt them as much.

Also the AI is not so great on D, so especially in a mirror you'll lose because of poor AI decisions.
