Are omicrons really necessary?

So lately I've been looking into omicrons and feel like they've become just another bland addition to character development. I mean every new character gets one, they can only be used in a few select locations and now that the mats have become easier to acquire having access to these abilities aren't really worth it because what started off as an advantage to mostly paying players has devolved into just another zeta mat farming experience that just takes a little more time. As a free to play gamer I never bothered with them because they were too hard to get and way too situational but now started spending them on mostly event required toons like great mothers just for kicks since there's no sense in hoarding them if everyone else is going to use them.

  • These statements seem more applicable to TB and TW omis. I think GAC omis are dope and should be more common. Idk how you so it, but ive never had an easy time farming them.

  • I really don’t understand some of your threadscoolnessda 

    In this thread, you seem to suggest that omicron materials are now very easy to acquire whilst simultaneously saying you didn’t bother with them when the materials were harder to acquire. Yet, obtaining omicron materials has only really got marginally easier, hardly enough to suddenly apply them with abandon. 

    You also mentioned that they only apply in certain game modes. That has never changed, so why would you start applying them now as if that was no longer the case?

    You also mentioned applying them to “event required toons”, even though the omicrons you apply have absolutely no effect on the event they are required for. What’s the point in mentioning that they are event required? 

    Finally, I still don’t understand how someone who has been playing as long as you have still only has 2 GLs (or 3 when you finish unlocking Leia). I know your f2p, but I’d have expected 4 or 5 by now!

    That prior comment was too long to bother reading.

    i think they’re fun in Grand Arena, but they stink in TB and TW and nearly all other places. First they can only be used so often within a period of time whereas GA is more frequently so I use them there. Second they become useless too quickly in other areas to bother with at times to spend that quality resource, 

    So I like them for Grand Arena like the other dude.

    Nah, you're right. They're not even worth using, so just hoard them and never apply them, ever. Totally.
