the new player experience stinks
I am a day one player, but back before ships I had decided that since I had free time and there wasn't a huge daily toll on time I would start a couple of alt accounts. I dropped them once ships came...

you're upset you let an alt languish without doing any of the pre-reqs for events and are behind in progression and arena? umm...
No not at all. I'm not upset about anything. I'm commenting on how horrible I felt starting over was.
How would you know? You didn't start over. What you did was pick up playing your old alt account.
I did the same on an alt account that had been dormant for 14 months. It was interesting. It was different. And I caught up to be able to reach top-20 in squad arena and top ranks in fleet arena. It can be done. Yes, it takes time, but it can be done.
So my alt hadn't been developed very much when it went dormant. It went dormant when gear 7 was the max, there were no raids yet and there were no legendary characters.
When I picked back up this account it had 32 unlocked characters and I needed to unlock three characters minimum for any legendary. there were no ships and no mods. If you think that account could make top 20 arena in six months you are delusional. My point is even with this head start after five weeks I was no closer to progressing than when I started.
