What's your roster management strategy after the introduction of GA?

I am already at the extreme..with just a handful of toons left to complete. For me to change now and focus on lean is only going to continue my rise in GP maybe faster then it would if I just complete what is almost done. Because after this I have nothing left but to gear and mod only the most viable ATM toons in this game. I'm still behind in zatas either way. And I don't want to sandbag others because I'm so far ahead of them I don't want walk through matches..I want challenges! Nothing easy and nothing impossible.

Edit: There is no guarantee that in the near foreseeable future anything may change. Yes CG and mods are listening and taking note..but untill it is announced and changes implemented. Nothing I can really do, but to swallow my bitter pill.

Remove mods from toons that you don’t use in GA. It’s a duct tape fix but better than nothing. If you need the mods on them for other reasons then you can just remove them right before GA rosters set and then replace them after.

Also, don’t activate new ships. Toons are a small GP increase but activating ships is a gross inflation of GP.

That's the thing all ships have been activated..all toons (-4) lvl85 all unlocked...I tried sand bagging mods..ran out of credits as all my toons have them. And then the GP drop so small like 150-200k (can't remember) so I stopped...I would literally have too cut back all.mods and do load outs but that is too much to remember...load outs for 150+ (?) toons...(laughable) and then would it even work with what I have done, would it be enough. It's good advice it really is. And the constant calling it fluff...reminds me I wasted money weekly on this game. And all the work and $$ spent on that G.D. roster. Just why?

Lol I never said my advice was good. It’s just ways to manipulate the system to bring your account more in line with where it should be. To be fair, I almost pulled the trigger on mods, but it just seemed too time consuming so I bailed on the idea. I’ll just keep rolling the dice with matchups until maybe I get lucky and face 7 other people with high ship GP and/or fluff.

That's where I am at..I was.going to boycott the game mode...but I live to compete just not.at.an impossible disadvantage...but as you told me before just do it get my (mod salvage) reward something is better then nothing and I would oy hurt.myself in the long run.

GA matchmaking made me to not even activate the droid marquees for that extra ~1.2k 'useless' GP.

To my mind, the description of "sandbagging" doesn't fit the most effective roster build strategy for the current state of the game. With TW and GA in the mix, low-gear characters hurt the progress of the individual and the guild, so it is pointless to start a build unless you go all-in to max gear, and as fast as possible.

So now I am focusing on g12 for most everything I once left at g11, and everything I left at g10 is now a liability so they are next, too. The new stuff? Unless it's OP (like Revan), it gets ignored. Is that sandbagging or just playing the game they way it needs to be played?

However you define it, we aren't trying to put down definitions on this particular topic. So in order to avoid confusion I put 2 definition which results in the same end to me. If you started to play with a new ruleset of your own and firmly abide by it, that line suits you. If you do the same not that firmly, it's the last option.
