Time required for SWGOH is getting to be too much

The higher you get the more time consuming it is. Especially if you want to be in an Active Guilf. 50 teams per TW zone takes much longer to clear zones. RoTE if you do the missions which you should to help get better rewards take time. Krayt takes more time as it never stops and you need to do a couple battles a day that usually take a couple attempts. Conquest takes a long time as you have feats that require 40 wins with a team so with Stamina you need to spread those out and need to do them everyday. Then you have Galactic Challanges, other events and GAC. The point the OP was trying to make as the game overvthe Last year has doubled the time needed if you want to be in an active guild. The developers have spread rewards across the game you need to be involved everywhere or spend $$. Maybe that is their goal is make you give up aspects of the game and just buy the rewards however as a former developer I would want everyone to play and enjoy my hard work not find it a chore and skip it.

It won’t sort some of these issues, but there are QoL improvements available for some of the PvE events

For events like smugglers run 1, or the ATST battle it’s nuts that simming isn’t possible. If they don’t want people to sim smugglers 2 then fine, but having a counter like for GW where you can sim after 3* it say 10 times would be a nice nod to the players.

So you are just trying to get a reaction by using an overstatement? Did you ask your ex guildmates why they were leaving? For years now people have said this game is dying and everyone is quitting yet here we still are.

Not sure if this was directed at me? If it was, I can tell you that most of my former guild mates are courteous enough to let me know when they're leaving and I usually have a chat with them on discord or in game chat. I'm always very interested to know why people leave in case it's something that I could have avoided by managing things differently. Sometimes they come back after a break.

I'm not sure what you might be referring to as an overstatement. Also never made any claim that the game was dying - I don't believe it is and I find it pretty funny when people say that.

The game absolutely takes more time now than it used to though. I'm not sure how anyone can claim otherwise, and it's more true the longer you've been playing. Anyone that was around pre-conquest can tell you that alone accounts for significant additional screen time. GAC also used to be optional - if you want crystals, it's no longer optional. The switch back to 24 hour phases in RotE means playing that game mode daily where in Geo it was once every two days. Adding R9 mats to TW made TW more important and it became mandatory in some guilds after that (mine included), so that's yet more time that many people otherwise might have not been spending in the game.

Sure, you can buy all of those things, but if you want to stay even semi-competitive and/or grow your roster with minimal spending, you're absolutely going to have to spend more time in the game than you used to.

If you weren't directing your comment at me, please forgive the quote and the tag.

Yup, is awful
I just completely dropped conquest now and has been an amazing time not having to worry for that thing
I already have enough chores to spend my free time on another chore (which is also boring)
All conquests were red crates for me previously, all but these last 2, and I have Malgus R8, but not worth my time anyway

You alone determine how much time you spend on the game no one else. What you put in is what you get out.

First it was too little now it's too much lol

This is the biggest time issue, IMO. It's not (generally) the time spent actually playing the game, rather, it's the time spent doing mundane, tedious, repetitive tasks that COULD EASILY BE AUTOMATED OR DRASTICALLY REDUCED if the developers actually gave a fig about good UI/UX design.

They've made some welcome (albeit insufficient) updates with QoL features, but they're still far from the mark:

Every event should be simmable once you 3 star it.

Full roster mod snapshot feature would dramatically reduce the time sink, in every area of the game.

Guild management tools are an absolute joke, to the extent they even exist. Officers should be able to search the full guild roster and make suggested assignments in TB, for most efficient deployment of units. Command messages in TB/TW should automatically be saved and give an option to redeploy automagically. We should also have the ability to rearrange or bump TW squads if they're placed wrong or someone accidentally sets with a wrong unit.

Give us another tab in our roster view, to bookmark nodes for farming. Heck, it would be ideal if we could even see what our daily energy income is, and set up farming profiles that run automatically in the background. I'm sure we'll still need to log in every few hours to claim bonus energy, but cutting out having to navigate through endless levels of screen loading just to farm a node for a handful of kyros or whatever, is ridiculous.

For that matter, we should always be able to tab through units/datacrons/etc. in any context where there's more than one. Why for the love of FSM do we have to navigate up and down into Each! Individual! Unit! when in TW/GAC?? It makes doing something as simple as a speed check, take literally five times longer than it should. Navigate down into one unit on a squad, tab over to the see the rest. And the fact we can't tab through datacrons is just... I mean... why?

These are a just a few things, that would reduce time sink, especially in more competitive/active players and guilds. Some may only shave of a couple seconds of a time, but when they're repetitive actions that we have to perform over, and over, and over...it adds up.

People are more likely to not game as much in the summer since many people including me love enjoying the outdoor weather, the way I deal with it is notes, reminders, and timers so I get gaming in and enjoy fun outside.

Autumn and winter are the best and prime gaming times since the weather is terrible so who would not want to stay inside where it is warm and comfortable.

Living in Texas, it is too hot to go out and enjoy the outdoors most of the day in the summer so it is prime gaming time.

In the winter, it is better weather to go outside and enjoy the outdoors so summer is prime gaming time in the south since the weather is terrible.

I've had more members quit playing in the last year than ever before. I've been playing since almost day 1,most of them are quitting because of how much time the game requires to play and advance now. It's burning people out, even myself there are days I only do the daily and nothing else. Which can hurt the guild overall. GA I miss attacks alot, TW I'll set some D than not even check out the rest. The game is so close to myself leaving. If I wasn't a guild leader I would have left already.

If that's the example you're providing for your guild, I'm not surprised people are leaving your group

Some leader, I wouldn't be in your guild.
