Et tu Brute

It feels like the Devs are not aware that there is other gear... It happened with the last golden pieces for the g11 gear, where we got another insert of cuffs, carbs and stun guns, and now again. After so many posts - this. proofing that community feedback is not arriving. Imo this is the biggest let down of the whole update, the nice wrapping of the ship table doesnt help much.

Some stats:

• 73 toons need the Mk 3 Czerka Stun Cuffs
  
• 58 toons need the Mk 8 BioTech Implant Prototype for G12+ (the gold ball thing - not the one from the challenge)
  
• 51 toons need the Mk 3 Carbanti Sensor Array
  
• 42 toons need the Mk 4 Zaltin Bacta Gel. This is a more unknown gear, but it is also by far the most used gear for making the gear needed from G11 to G12 and will lead to a new gear crunch.
  
• 36 toons need the Mk 5 A/KT Stun Gun Prototype. Really...
  

With the current raid reward nerf this will be even more frustrating in the future. Furthermore the crap gear that 95% of the toons don't use is still in the reward table, despite some other intentions two months ago.

in summary, we need more G12, more cuffs, carbs, and stun guns but actually get less g12 and have not much improvement on the g11 front, despite promises earlier.

This is really unbelievable.

Range tropper, a newly added toon, asks for 6 carbanti, 5 cuffs and 3 stungun already. Almost all new toons do so. Why we have to need these 3 gear again at g12+?

Less g12 gear drop from sith raid. Lesser even with using those g12 to build g12+. And all low level key gear included in those g12+.

Biggest nerf ever. You have not only nerfed sith rewards but availability of all gear that matters.

Remove them all please. All low level gear in g12+. This update will be still a very big nerf to gear 12 acquisition without asking for carbantis, cuffs or stunguns.

Don't worry, they have acknowledge the gear crunch on these gears (Carbs III, etc.) And are easing the gear crunch in as many way as they can... or aren't they?

G12+ gears would have already taken a very long time to craft due to them needing special G12+ salvage & G12 gears... why also include the other precious and very highly demanded Carbs III and other gears like it???

As they said they work towards making them more accessible in different locations. Which they have done.

The game is still resource management, we are never going to get away from making hard choices.

More accessible? That's debatable. Way more in demand? That is the truth. Get used to it, this is totally wai. They are trying to make their game suck, so we will pay to make it better.
