I can't relate to some meta problems

Yea I’m the same way I don’t play this game competively so I could care less tbh
Thinking about how to make Ephraim work is my priority

I only play top tiers like Gordin so I cant relate to the meta struggles either. Not that Im some kind of IS sympathizer

I personally don't care either. I use whatever I want to use, I just wished that they'd stop making so many armor skills so powerful.

I'd like some flier skills that weren't strictly movement based.

Think positively, we alteady have got tons of orbs by their bugs mistakes

Yep I don't get it. The arena/ar is a rat race, people get upset like there is a winner. The difference in rewards are minimal. I like using units I enjoy and don't see often. I couldn't imagine chasing bst constantly. I couldn't even tell you what tier I'm in right now.

I do wish the meta didn't define the banners all the time. Always the "next best thing" or the usual top tier fodder and never the older units I'm trying to merge.

I get pretty upset about stuff like the mythic hero system for a number of reasons (ex: makes a decent scoring system bogus; makes the game not about what happens on the field but some irrelevant fudge factor; blatant cash grab), but I think it's nice that you can see the bogus system for what it is and ignore it so well.

Part of why I get mad about it is because what I really want to do is build up a bunch of units, but for the last 6+ months I've been pinching feathers to try to complete merge projects so that I can move up in AA. It's not even that I want the rank - it's the coins I want. 3.0 being really slow and then beast units coming still a month later with potentially huge implications for the meta is wearying and aggravating. I should have been in top 10k or even top 5k months ago, but I'm sitting on over 220k feathers. 7 coins a week x 15 weeks is 105 coins I've missed, and I'm probably going to miss another 28 or so. That's, like, a third of the coins I get in a month. I joined the game late; I'm trying to catch up, and I get bogged down by this merge system that forces me to decide between enjoying a diversity of units and having myself a dull, dry time so that I'll have more resources to work with later. I'd like to just play the game and find effective uses of resources, but they insist on clouding and distorting the definition of good using criteria that have nothing to do with game play itself or which are blown out of proportion (merges affect arena scoring more than they affect combat performance; gain in lift is even worse because skilled players will get it done without merges and they'll actually score worse). I'll be much happier once my first four merge projects are complete (which will probably require about 4 months?)

I can say, though, that I'm excited to see what Cecilia will bring. I have a hard time believing that her dagger will have the same effect as glittering breath, but I can see why people suspect it.

I'm F2P and not really competitive, and I don't care about arena tier, as long as I get my orbs, I just get annoyed when units get more and more powercrept, because where does it end?

I am also looking forward to Cecilia and the TT! Hopefully I can snag Eirika or Eph without too much orb investment XD

hmmm i'm good i guess. I don't really hate duel skills but i think IS could make em more accessible, but whatever, i got my G duel infantry so no problems there.
As for AR i was in Tier 15 when mode was implicated im in tier 16 now, so why should i bother? It's sad that IS wan't to cut from having more grails and i hate the way they made shop with free units, but what can i do about it? I'll better be thinking my ways on adoptaition rather than rant that i can't get something.
But i hate all that merge at 5*rarity stuff most, now i'm stuck with A!Tiki at 5*+8, Nowi 5*+4, M!Marth 5*+3, Soleil 5*+3 (i misscalculated, i thought i had enough for 5*+4 at least), Soren 5*+2 (have 2 more to promote but i'll wait a bit) becuase i can't get copies of certain units, and feathers cause i promoted F!Robin and Titania recently (i'm happy with them but i wonder if i will get more merges on units i invested into or should i merge some other units. This and steady pace of making merge projects is lame for me, i lack patience so i want to finish either of those much faster, at least Tiki.

I'm apparently a masochist, because I like going up against cancerous Aether Keeps and figuring out how to beat them. I also think Abyssal maps are one of the best additions to the game.

I am fully aware I am not of typical mind on these issues, but w/e, that's how I feel.
