And they aren't just giving out LSTs for free. A lot of people paid crystals and real world currency in order to get Episode Passes and gear and so forth. This is a return on that investment. If the ratio is terrible then people will spend a lot less in the upcoming Era season.
Thank you. So at least some 12 gear (3) extra then, but it'd probably be better to buy LSTs, if able.
If the ratio is good, then it will kill gearing up old characters the normal way - Perhaps that is the goal - That everyone slowly just gets all of the old characters via LST, and focus on gearing up only the newer characters that won't be able to use LSTs.
I still can't see them giving people multiples of 5k Era Currency and unlocking everything this Era. And those who already have everything unlocked, would just get oodles of Relic 10 materials instead. I don't think it's good for a game to be that generous.
