The ongoing destruction of small guilds
As a leader of a 40k mill GP guild, I find it obvious that Capital Games don't want small guild like ours. With the new g12+ update, which is only obtainable via Heroic Sith Raid, this is very clear. ...

And we call the op's first post.... Entitlement. Do You play the game expecting everything to be readily available to you? Just because you can't get it now when you want it doesn't mean it's out of reach. You feel that you want it here and now and have the roster? Go find a guild with an opening doing heroic sith..
I call what you're preaching entitlement. Heroic guilds just got given an advantage they've never had before, and you respond as though people should expect it to be that way.
It's a new level of progression that Everyone should be entitled to who puts effort into the raid, not only entitled to those who can whip the raid.
People should expect that things change. It always does in this game.
Effort? Rewards are not based on the amount of effort. They are based on the results of that effort. You're not entitled to better rewards just because you spend more time. Not in any aspect of the game.
An advantage, they never had before? They always had an advantage. Who cares if the advantage is exclysive gear or exclusive characters? You can work around both types of advantages — and it will cost you some effort to do so.
As with everything else in this game more and more players/guilds will gain access to the new gear and characters as time goes by. Already now 25—man guilds can do heroic STR, as long as they have developed the 'right' teams for it. With the recent JTR event (everyone aiming at doing heroic STR now, should have her by now), the GMY rework and the 2 g12+ gear types available to everyone even more people will be able to do heroic STR.
People should expect gear not to be exclusive. That's a standard that CG themselves has maintained since the inception of this game.
Who cares that they've always had an advantage, it was surmountable before, not it isn't. +12 speed for everyone before mods isn't a piddly little thing not worth mentioning. It is absolutely 100% a valid complaint about this balance shift that CG dropped on us out of nowhere that goes against everything they've done before.
The fact that eventually other guilds MAY gain access to the hSTR is irrelevant. The fact that they eventually plan on adding other ways to get it is also irrelevant. The only point worth mentioning right here is that gear is now exclusive.
CG slapped thousands of players across the face with this unexpected, pointlessly elitist change. Far, far more than they've helped with it.
Without plenty of people at the bottom, the top isn't very high up. Elitist attitudes that shunt away the complaints of those below them are always detrimental to the elitist over time. Sure maybe they can get further ahead, but if it breaks those below you, you actually end up worse off. With no community, swgoh would be a boring game.
