Carbanti's, Stun Gun's and Cuffs.
Let me try this again. Currently I have 33 toons that need them and I am sure there are multiple gear levels that need them. This including Stun guns (which also use Carbanti's) is a serious issue f...

The gear crunch is a symptom of 2 major issues.
The first is that there have been a least 2 toons a month for the last 6 months, I think someone said we have gone from 60 odd characters to 110 characters in a year. There hasn't been a change to any of the gear drop rates that hasn't been cosmetic ( Flash events anyone? ) I think the new characters have been introduced to kill time before new playable content is developed, however the underlying problem is every new character needs gear, and a decent chunk of it is raid gear. There have also been the addition of characters who were previously behind a paywall, and they need gearing as well. There doesn't seem to have been any planning on total gear requirements considering the current character release cadence.
Secondly the game is getting old and the same formula from when it started is still in effect. You would have been happy to get challenge gear from a raid, when you had only done the challenges a few dozen times. Now that we've done challenges for months if not years, getting it in a raid is a slap in the face.
I hope they look at the raid drops now that the raids have been live for a long time, and change the formula to better represent the available toons and gear requirements. It would make it a lot easier rather than trying to paper over the cracks with things like the flash events.
