Need a little newbie help here
First of all, I am playing this game on BlueStacks, and so I got No instructions, I am having to figure everything out on my own. After playing this game for Hours, for two complete days (I am retired...

Welcome to the game!
First, has anyone pointed you to the site, swgoh.gg yet? It is very useful, and can show you the gear characters will need ahead of time, as well as let you compare the stats characters will have a max level. You can even create an account to sync your roster for tracking.
There's a LOT to digest in this game, so just give it a little time. One thing you need to learn about is buffs and debuffs, which are the red and green icons that can appear above a character. It can be a lot to keep straight. There are guides on the forums and online that will list what each one does, but you can also long tap on one in the game and a tiny description will pop up. I don't know how that will work on an emulator...whether you long click or just hover.
Stay focused. Make a gameplan and try to stick with it, and don't spread yourself thin over too many characters at once. A lot of new content may open up for you that seems to be pulling you in all directions, but you will have time to build everything up. You have to pick and choose where you will focus first. Buckle in for the long haul...in the beginning, farming s character for a week to unlock seems like a long time, but some characters may take months to get 7*. A lot of players have been on since game launch two years ago. I've been playing about 16 months. Puts some things in perspective.
To clarify arena, when you beat someone, you swap ranks with them. Likewise, you can be knocked back quite a bit. So if you see someone you think is stronger down where you are, they may have been knocked down because teams are always better on offense than defense, since the computer doesn't play as well as a person. Your arena is made up of people who started around the same time as you...but they may have a head start of a few days, they may spend more money, they may have read more of the guides in the beginning and gotten into a good guild, etc. You might also see players who "rerolled" a new account to get a better starting rank and also have the advantage of more experience. Since better rank gets better rewards, the rich can get richer real fast in the beginning. But if you are in top 100 before level 50, that's a decent place to start out in.
So to reiterate what others have said, get a new guild! I spent much too long in a low level guild hoping it would get better before switching. If you have a question, you can search the forums, and if you don't find an answer, don't be afraid to ask!
