Can’t skip any challenges because ‘next skip’ is perpetually 9-10 hours away. This has been going on since launch. This is not due to the starter challenges that are intentionally unskippable.

@GOBbluth89I've had this issue since launch. In all the months of owning Squadrons I've only ever been able to skip one challenge in October, and ever since then the skip challenge button has ALWAYS been grayed out. Submitted a support ticket yesterday because this has been going on for over 6 months now, and no sign of any fix.

The guy on the support chat said he'd forward the info to the team, but I highly doubt anything will come of it since they've supposedly "finished" the game even though bugs like this still remain.  For those of us who don't play ranked, this could eventually lock us out of the challenge system completely.
