Simming GW in one shot.

Oof. That's a good one. I've literally not done a single GW the old fashioned way since they added that, and I never will again for as long as I live. I kept telling myself I was going to do a few to help with some of the quests. Nope.

My personal favourite is mod management though

This is my vote. Both loadouts and filters/sorting.

1st prize goes to loadouts. Going to gg to take screenshots of all my arena toon's mods so I could put them back after an event was maddening, and I don't even want to think about having to have try that for the sith raid every few days.

2nd goes to filters/sorting. Also can be done at gg, but it's faster and easier to just do it in game. Not to mention how much easier it is to sell mods now that I can filter/sort, especially to find all my mods with no speed.

Can you explain mod load outs or point me to a good reference? I get making them, but how do the mods go back where they were before? Do you just make loadouts for everyone? #N00b

You make a loadout for the mods you plan to move as they are now, then you move them for a temporary thing, then you use the loadout to move them back. Or if you will want to use the new mods more than once (say for a raid), then you make a loadout for how things are normally and another loadout for the raid mods and switch between them.

Yep. So let's say I want to move mods to my JTR team for the raid. I make two sets for each member of the team, a "normal" loadout and a "raid" loadout. I also have to make a "normal" loadout for anyone that I pulled mods for to put on the raid team. Then when the raid is over I reapply the "normal" loadouts on all the affected toons.

Biggest time saver QoL is mod loadouts and filtering by far.

My favorite however by an extremely large margin that trumps all other QoL changes is 4x speed. Game would be nigh unplayable currently if we didn't have 4x speed.

For me it's between moving bronziums to the first slot in the store and giving us the option to sim GW. So many times I missed out on full prizes on GW because I didn't fight all the way through or forgot to refresh before the daily reset or something because it was becoming such a drag to play through all those matches, even though you could hit auto.

Honorable mentions: Pit raid simming, challenge simming

5 seconds are great - but it makes you aware that it's 3x (+2x) the same thing with very little waiting time in between - so why not make it 1 single sim with 3x (+2x) the content?

Programming a reduced timer is much easier than a new sim function, I'm assuming.

Being able to change my payout to a time that wasn't horribly inconvenient was my favourite. Payout at dinnertime was starting to cause friction between my spouse and I, even though I was pretty casual about it (by necessity). There was also a lot of traffic on both arena and fleet servers at that time as well, and changing my payout resulted in a much easier climb, wirhout worrying about stepping on other's toes with the same payout.

My fav will be when they put a single button to level up a character, instead of having to craft 6 times and then level up.
