Ahsoka shards for normal is kittens

If only there was an easy way to boost your GP by, for instance, gearing all your characters to g8 working on ships (which, if you gear pilots to g8, counts twice) and equipping mods.

If you've done all that and you still aren't at even 3m then you well and truly aren't ready for Hard Conquest.

Bloat your GP for no reason other than to obtain one character. With that strategy, maybe you’re not ready for the hard conquest.

2.7 mil here, have a gl. I hate the gp requirement on hard mode, I could do more than quite a few people in my guild who do meet the requirements

Exactly.

Hard mode only requires 2 really good teams. For example, if you have GAS & SLKR at any GP, you’re honestly probably good enough to complete the mode most runs (it could depend on disks and you may struggle for max crate).

I don’t fully understand the GP gate. I mean it probably saves a lot of players headaches and it probably pushes a lot of players to develop their rosters. Beyond that it is unnecessary, much like the R5 gate on CRancor.

Can you give one coherent argument why certain characters shouldn't be more exclusive to end game players?

Why do people feel so entitled to get anything they want before even reaching mid game?

I’ve got 19 reliced characters, GAS R8.. give me one coherent argument why shouldn’t I be able to compete on the hard mode?

Exclusivity through achievement makes sense to me. Being locked out of the ability to attempt the achievement is where I take issue here.

For example, I do think exclusivity is appropriate when it comes to certain characters. Certainly characters like KAM make sense, earned through completion of the SM. GAS makes sense, Malak makes sense. These are all achievable feats for the right players in the right guilds no matter GP with proper planning and execution. CAT is gated by GP (a relatively useless benchmark), but could potentially be earned without the gate in place.

I am only advocating that some players be able to test their lower GP rosters and might find themselves capable. With proper planning, hard mode isn’t difficult for low GP, just requires the teams. I do think the shards per crate ratio is fine for CAT. I don’t think entitlement comes into play if one is able to complete the task required, only that being gated hinders that ability to even try.

For others who want more shards for completing easier tiers and modes, I believe your questions still stand.

For the record, I am 5.86M GP and capable of completing hard mode max crate. My alt is not and happy to stay in normal mode for quite some time.

Reaching certain GP thresholds can also be an achievement in itself.

I can see where one might feel that, but in my opinion the game has changed so much and certain modes push to have very focused rosters (GAC) that that sometimes it is best not to have higher GP to progress in a better fashion.

Similar requirements have always been in place. You can't play DS Geo if your guild doesn't have 100m GP (so 2m on average) and as a follow up you can't attempt to unlock Wat. You can't try to unlock Malak if you have an r7 JKR but your Mission and Zaal are at g8. And now you can't unlock CAT early unless you either bloat your GP or have been around long enough to reach that threshold through natural progression.
