I get that bottlenecks are necessary for the life of the game.
I just finished farming my 8th Zeta.
Except for the ones that I put on Boba and Savage, all of my Zeta's have gone on Empire toons.
Zader
zTarkin (unique)
zzThrawn
zDT
zVeers
I have basically been farming only for Empire toons since April. Before that I had gone all in on Bounty Hunters and maxed them out. (Just in time for zMaul, zQGJ, and triple cleanse to take over arena. My maxed squad was then almost useless in arena.)
That being said, I still have two more Zeta's I would like to put on Empire toons: Tarkin's lead and Krennic's lead.
Four months of farming and I haven't even finished putting the Zeta's I would like on a single faction.
I understand that Zeta's are very important and that we need to choose wisely. It's just so slow that it makes it difficult to even omega abilities on other factions because I need to save omegas for my next Zeta.
I've never chased the meta. I've farmed what I thought could be effective while staying outside of the meta.
Even so, by the time I have Empire maxed out, Empire will likely be struggling in arena.
I thought about saving my last Zeta instead of putting it on Thrawn but the OCD in me wanted him completely maxed (aside from the fact that he is 6*).
It is what it is. I just wish there was a better way of speeding up the process, especially for people who can't take first in fleet arena.
