Thanks, I hadn’t compared this to the other metas because this one involves actually weakening my best DS weapon, Emperor Palpatine. After three years I had just decided to quit collecting every new shiny toy. I thought strengthening what I have would keep me viable in the second or third tier of my shard and useful to my guild. It is true that each new meta is marketed as the top dog must have, and that, in the past, patience could substitute for cash if we can tolerate losing. My first, valid objection, is the huge cost increase for this meta coinciding with the lack of skill required to dominate with it. Combine that with Dropping strength of established toons, This could ruin the game. I am preparing myself to deal with that if it occurs, so I am communicating my concern.
