you fail to realize that you had to gear up 30 toons when you started but new players need to gear up 250.
You don’t need to gear up 250 instead of 30, you can choose who you gear up in a pool of 250 instead of 50. Congrats, starting now is more fun than it was 7 years ago because you have far more choices in your progression.
On top of that you have much more resources for gear/shards that players had 7 years ago: more assault battles, GC, Conquest, TB, TW, GAC, more raids, more events (galactic bounties and such). And you have double drop on shards that allow you to save energy to farm gear instead, as well as far better gear in daily challenges.
I’m not saying that more gear won’t be nice though. Good thing that Crumb confirmed in the escape podcast that it was coming, even if it’s later than expected.
To play, yes... to get to end game, no.
Im currently gearing everyone to gear 11.... thats my personal goal.
I stop that to farm things like raddus ship requirements and GL requirements....
But yeah to even get those gear 8, 9 and 10s to 11, i need a bunch of stunguns and carbantis.
Older characters dont need the kyro till last gear 12 piece, so thats nice.... but the rest is overwhelming and should not be at this point
