Hi @CG_Carrie, First of all, I appreciate the increased communication from your side. I would request urgent resolution to the insane carbanti crunch in this game.Just to give you a perspective, I have recently starred up Shore Trooper, Baze, GK and FOST. I realise that I need 2000+ carbantis for gearing up only these 4 toons!!!! The daily challenges give only 40-50 carbantis a week.Not to mention that almost every toon in this game needs them at various levels and carbantis are also required as salvage pieces for higher level gears. The extra ordinary gap between carbanti demand and supply fills me with a sense of despair and hopelessness. It is too steep a climb. Best regards, SithAmerPS: Please bring Jar Jar Binks and a GG rework.

Include Mk V stun guns, Mk V Droid callers, and Mk 3 holo projectors. Jar Jar is a Sith Lord and Snoke was his puppet. Star Wars Ep IX Lost plot spoiled.

Still a crunch but not nearly as bad as you're painting that picture.

See, I thought I had got them in there are some point, but it's pointed out every couple of days on these forums they aren't there. It's a hard store to keep track of, needed so much stuff out of there.

Been watching it for over a month now, and no stun guns have shown up.

Crazy or playing the game how they want to?

The gear crunch is better than it has been in a long time, they have been adding more locations to farm them, (possibly the new ships PvE table too). This may also be addressed when raid rewards get changed (the second time around).

It's not great. But it's getting better.

It absolutely has. And is much appreciated. Let's not lose site that they had to do this because of the growth in the game. New characters are coming out faster than you can star and gear the last one (FTP or minnow style).

The real challenge, that I hope they're mulling over, is how to get raid gear into players hands. Even middle tier Guilds now have a majority of players that solo the rancor so players are getting less gear by nature of the random attribution of rankings. So we're forced to use that currency to buy raid exclusive gear because there is no where else to obtain them and the drop rate on callers, scanners, and Nubian tech is abysmal. (at least for me, I have 300 furnaces, 10 scanners). So if you're farming raid gear in the guild store, every single character is at a standstill because they're all waiting for a carbanti or gear piece that requires a carbanti. I don't mind the slow grind of Mk V stun guns, thermal detonators, or cuffs. I just hate that I'm slow grinding across three elements. Raid gear that doesn't drop in raids, carbs, and cuffs/guns/holo projectors.

If they're not going to fix raid gear drops, just give us the carbs. We're still bottlenecked across 2 other gear elements before we reach G11/G12 and all that mayhem.
