One of the issues I am running into is not really knowing which characters to focus on as they all seem to be used for various events so I feel compelled to focus on them all at once (bad idea, I know, it gets overwhelming).
The wall I am referring to is in reference to LS/DS battles as I am now encountering mobs way more powerful than I. Also, I have become stuck at about 5K arena rank as am encountering teams with great synergy, high star levels and high gear levels. I was working on getting Tarkin to gear level 7 but suddenly he needs 20 pieces of this, 25 pieces of that, etc. It feels as if the game was designed to allow you to get to the 50's before they place a wall in front of you as an incentive to use real money to buy various packs, something I wish to avoid.
Trying to do everything at once is definitely a losing proposition, especially as a casual player. There are absolutely walls, and the game absolutely wants you to spend, but honestly, being casual is going to be a bigger detriment than anything else. If you are going to enjoy the game casually at all, you simply have to decide not to care that you can't do everything or keep up with the people on your shard, and just focus on the parts you enjoy. Pick the teams that you like or the ones that will eventually get you characters you like. For example, if you really want to eventually get Thrawn, then start working on Phoenix - they can be very helpful in a lot of areas, they have very good synergy, and they can get you Palpatine as well. If there is a particular thing you really want then we can give more specific advice for how to go about getting it.
One thing that is very helpful for a low level player trying to get through LS/DS battles is getting powerful allies. When I got into a guild with max level players, I was able to blow through fights I had been having trouble with by borrowing their maxed out Wedges and Palpatines and the like. If you need allies, many people here are willing to friend you and you can borrow their powerful characters to help you out.
