Greetings, First and foremost I know this is not an issue for a lot of you out there and I am aware (using the search function and being on the forums for a long time); that this topic has been brought up several times; ok, probably more than several. Sim Tickets. I know why I'm low (farming Old Ben and yes I got CLS thank you!). I dropped from around 200 to 12; I'm not buying them; if I could request them as gear in guild I would; so now I am just autoing battles on gear I need (Stun Cuffs, Stun Guns, Carabanti's (who knew I'd be out of those?!?). While this is a solution, buy energy, auto battles, and it does work; or buying energy and siming large energy nodes, again, this is not exciting game play; it really takes a lot of the fun out of it when I just want to sim a few piece of gear or character shards and be on my way; instead I auto battles Do I hate this game?! Do i think the Dev's are money grubbing something or others? No, absolutely not. I am sure its no where near high on their priority list which I am sure is quite full. I however will not break down and buy sim tickets at 30 crystals for 20 of them.** update while I am writing this (and autoing battles cuz its so much fun) I am now up to the lofty number of 57 from 12. Still not fun autoing.

You're not wrong about autobattling being boring. The important thing about autobattles (and opening bronzium packs) is to do them while you're doing something else. I'll do them while watching something on Netflix, or between deaths in Overwatch. I do Challenges while I'm at work because it's just a couple taps and then a long wait for the next Challenge.Things that require more attention--mod battles when you're first doing them, raids, Galactic War, Arena--these are the times it's important to sit down and have fun while doing. Like, I genuinely enjoy my Galactic War now that I have Resistance, so I'm actively participating in the action instead of simming or autoing.EDIT: Got distracted by something and forgot to make my main point: Find the things you like about the game and do those. Then the simming and autoing are just a thing you do when you have time, not the main activity itself.

Ressource management plays a large role in this game. Sim tickets are a ressource.

Autoing battles is not exciting gameplay

True, but when the game first came out there was not quite as much to Sim. Still not sure how some people have 1000's of them.

There could be something to this. I started playing not long after the game came out, and have never had a Sim Ticket shortage ever. I've got about 3,300, I can't get a shortage if I tried. I was careful not to overuse them when I began. Don't know at what point it didn't matter if I used them all the time.

My only advice - play smart. Not trying to be a jerk. It's just that people have been complaining about this forever and devs have never done anything about it. Not sure if they ever will.

Again, I can "cope" its just not fun. Autobattle does work, and I'll do it. Its just not fun game play.

I used to have over 2000 SIM tickets and thoight I could never run out. I'm down to under 500 now. I cut back on my hard node farming and went after old Ben, Ezra, and Hera in succession they dropped quickly.

I buy 2-3 refreshes of cantina and/or ls/ds energy daily and sim nodes that cost 16- 20 per and my sim tickets constantly sit above the 1,000 mark.

When I fast track needed gear or shards at the 6 to 10 per sim nodes, my sim tickets drop by a big chunk until I get back to farming the costlier nodes.

Yup, OB, Farmboy Luke were, and Hera is currently needed; lots of 8 energy nodes.
