Add me to the list of those who would like to see you reconsider your decision about the shops.
I’m an end game player who can solo hAAT but is locked out of Sith Raid and TW because I make the choice to stay in my small, social, supportive, semi-casual guild. Guild and guild event credits are the only things I’m short on! So hearing those stores are where you want to put the new chars is disappointing to me. It feels like just another big guild lock on the cool stuff.
I get plenty of shard shop credit through GW, ship farming nodes with 7* chars, and the admiral events. I would much rather have useful characters from my store farming than click-to-dump for shard store credit, especially when the gear I really need doesn’t show up there. If shard store is meant for end game players, maybe add g12 to it? Or bring back characters in the shard shop?
4 of my small guild capped out GW shop this month. We would really like new goals there! The Phoenix and Rogue One additions through all the shops were great last year. Someone earlier in the thread suggested restricted farming legacy char additions. Resistance Trooper, Jawa Engineer, FOST, Sabine, Zam, Dengar, and all those 20 energy single hard node chars like Baze and Krennic.... you’ve got a lot of choices without putting “new” content in those shops.
(That said, thank you for guaranteeing the $10 packs will get you to 4*! I don’t gamble on crystal card packs, but do pay reasonable value for content to support the game. I was excited to see that change - I even bought Visas even though I have no idea who she is - so I’m glad it is permanent.)
