Why bother?
The game has now become SWGotOldRepublic.
How does this affect players without an Old Republic team? How does this affect the position, the ranking, and the ability of players without an OR team?
Greatly.
I just put together the most powerful team I could muster, Empire, over 100k power, against a Bastilla led OR team, not even Revan, and that team was at 90k power. That team destroyed mine. I didn't stand a chance. If it was Revan led? Darth Revan? My game, my chances are ruined.
So, if my more powerful Empire team is destroyed by a weaker, under-developed OR team, why should I invest any more in that Empire team? To do so would be futile. There is only one way: build an OR team.
You push me to do it. I refuse.
I lose.
What am I to do if I cannot compete with even weak OR teams with my best teams?
The greatest issue of this game is this: you provide a multitude of possibilities, and a multitude of characters, yet, very clearly, only a handful of those characters are even worth investing in. I would estimate a maximum of 50% of current characters are worth investing time and real money in. The other 50% are a literal waste, and that waste is an insult.
"Here is a free game, but you will not enjoy any success in it unless you do what your Guild tell you to do, also what the Meta tells you to do".
It's driving people away. This is negative motivation, not positive in the slightest.
I am genuinely knocked back at how badly this is run.
