Exchange Get2 for Get1 please

GET 2 straight exchange makes sense. Just not GET1 for GET2.

Honestly, the "easy way out" is to simply have the LS Geo TB (which is dropping next month) just reward more GET1 than Hoth relative to guild abilities to star. Then high level guilds pursuing GAS will simply move on to the newest content rather than going backwards to the old. Especially if they announce it soon. Whales won't be happy - but there will be light at the end of the tunnel.

If CG's goal was to "gate" GAS development by slowing down his progression to 7 stars (which clearly seems to be their intent), making people wait a few weeks for Geo LS TB for faster GET1 acquisition fits that plan as well.

Again, I think the entire situation is a marketing disaster (used for the typical forum-esque emphasis). On the one hand, CG seems to want people to do the following:
1) Spend
2) Gear up/level up...everything...as soon as possible.
3) Diversify their rosters
The problem with releasing a character that requires lots of gear, 4 zetas and uses GET currency to get to to 7* - and whose effectiveness in the arena meta (and thus GAC and TW) is questionable - is that that encourages people to:
1) Save (just in case the "flavor of the week" is not that great)
2) Hoard (gear, zetas and various currencies) - in either case
3) Dump all of their resources into a single character....if they spend them at all.

That would work well too. There is honestly a ton of ways they could placate people without breaking their own long term goals, and many have been listed here or Reddit. I am confident they will do something to show they care about how awful this release was, and that they listen to us. I know they want a great game.

I actually don't think this is a terrible idea. As far as I'm concerned, GET2 is simply more valuable than GET1, even with Malak and GAS being under GET1. If someone wants to trade down, fine.

We are already allowing folks to effectively trade by doing Hoth instead of Geo, provided the whole guild goes along. And in my guild, considering our stars and special mission output, that would be trading at a 1 get2 = 1.5 get1 exchange rate, although you do lose a bit of good gear.
