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.

Obvious solution. Don't sim.

That was kind of the point of the post. I am having to "not sim" and Auto, to build up sim tickets. But thanks for playing!

That's why we need more things like the AT-ST event on a rotating schedule and legendary events need to be repeatable for minor rewards. Like omegas or credits or something. The challenging tiers of Flash events like tier 3 for Luke flash event are also a refreshing break, need more of that

Do you refresh regular energy? If so, you'll run at a net profit for sim tickets assuming you're spending all your normal energy on 20-cost hard nodes.

Alternatively, every now and again, just auto them all one day a week and sim the other six. You won't gain sim tickets, but that one day off will put a real dent in the depletion and should get you through Hera no problem. I was at 600 when the event started last week, gave up farming Old Ben and went back to Hera at two days of autobattle a week, now I'm at 670--and that's after spending 260 cantina energy (full day stored plus a refresh, so I got some tickets that way) once the guild activity changed over.

I Sim everything including challenges, currently close to 8,000 Sim tickets. All my normal energy is almost being spent on 20 energy nodes. Shoretrooper, Baze, Krennic, Ghost, Phantom and followed by 2x FOTP(16 energy).

I'm following suit but only focusing on 2-3 hard nodes at a time unless it's the daily guild activity. The rest of the energy goes towards cuffs/guns. Sitting at 2,000 tickets and growing too!

I do my daily activities, then refresh on whichever guild activity is going, if its a non energy activity( gw, pvp, etc.) then I sim whatever. Doing this I not only gain sim tickets but guild money as well.

Let's turn this around and ask if anyone actually likes sim tickets and think the mechanism makes this game better?

I surprisingly do have a lazy friend who sims everything but runs out of sim tickets so he constantly buys sim tickets from the store. Definitely a source of income for EA and not something to be removed any time soon.

I do refresh energy. I realize its a resource; one that's easily compensated for. I still run out; I can auto battles and make up sim tickets, I can "sim" high energy nodes (I do for Shore, Baze, and DN); I still run out, to me the "sim tickets" are an unnecessary resource that does not add enjoyment to the game. Let us just "sim" anything we have 3* and be done with it.
