You can skip to the bottom of the post if you want the actual question. The rest is just me rambling lol

I am currently working towards CLS. I need to get high enough level to join a good guild and start collecting GK and Han shards cause I love Rebels (well I really love Jedi but they are basically useless at this time). Also I am working towards Rex. Cause its rex.

So meta is growing right now and more different teams seem to be viable but really empire/sith is meta.

My empire team right now is as follows.

Palp - 7*/Gear8
Vader - 7*/Gear9
Tarkin - 7*/Gear8
TFP - 7*/Gear8
Stormtrooper - 7*/Gear8

If i start really digging into gearing I am going to end up with the same type of teams that most people are going for. In fact they'll have thrawn cause they were smart enough to get pheonix and arent playing catch up.

I am currently running

Wiggs/Ezra/Old Ben/R2 and they seem to rock. Why wouldn't I just keep gearing them up and get them kicking butt at like g11 or 12. I would still get very high in the average shard. I won't be top 100 but still get a decent pay out.

Just seems weird to me. And once I get my empire team geared JTR and nightmare are gonna crush me anyways.

If i am working towards the same team that the average player is working towards (palp/vader) how am I supposed to get ahead? We are doing the same thing lol
