How is Rey balanced?
From what I have seen Rey seems to be the most imbalanced of any of the characters at this point. She is way too fast and does way too much damage up front. In arena she always goes first and can easi...

She is not balanced. She is scarce. When high soenders all have her, expect 30% of threads talk abiut her
High spenders have her already. Many of them use Qi Gon Jin instead.
The real problem is damage is too high, defender is pointless, a d shooting first is the only things that matters. In the current meta, though, the problem is not FOTP or Rey. It's Poe. Poe is the only mandstory toon.
You can make a team with Poe, Poggle, Qi Con Jin, Geo Soldier and Dooku, and not use FOTP or Rey or Leia and win vs a team with FOTP and Rey and Leia if they don't have Poe. There are a lot of fast characters with high damage output. FOTP or Leia are a bit better, but the difference is not so high, and you could replace them with others. Droid teams are succesful, and they use IG88/86 as their damage dealers.
The only thing that all high end teams have, because all of them need to, is Poe. High end teams currently are Poe, plus 4 toons selected from a pool containing Leia, Rey, FOTP, Qi Gon Jin, Geo Soldier, Poggle, the droids (as a pack) , maybe in a future 7* Dookus, and sometimes utility guys like Old Ben. With some original teams packing Boba,Sid, 88 in AOE teams, that also have Poe and Poggle. Nerfing FOTP or Rey don't change anything, they'll just pick another toon from the pool. As long as they can pick the msndstory Poe, it'll be the same: the goal is moving 5 chars before you do so you start the fight hopeless
The other option is, as suggested, a drastical shift of the game goals, making defense more relevant, and damage divided by half
