Ok I’ll try, I’ve been playing 11 months and haven’t spent a penny.
1. GW isn’t meant to be beaten everyday. A developer has said that when it was designed (many moons ago) it was meant to be the hardest test of your roster. That being said I’m on a 42 12/12 hot streak. Lucky me I guess, but I have taken the trouble to read the advice given about GW, so I do run zFinn Resistance and I do preload 5 other teams with TM.
2. You’ve got to pick your battles. Some comps die better than others. I now eat Chaze teams and actively look for them, but I stay away from GK/Zarriss because I haven’t got anything to reliably beat them yet.
3. Disagree. I’ve pushed more toons through the gearwall in a month than in the last 3. If your not doing 5 Raids a week then of course you will be frustrated, but there is a simple option. Move guilds!
4. Maybe. Maybe not. Before he got a Zeta, Raid Han was largely irrelevant. Now he’s a very desirable toon. You never know which way the META is going to shift.
That all being said. I hope your woes get better!
