I hate the change to the Fleet Store. I can't even enjoy the rest of the update. And this update was full of good... no this update was full of great changes. I love the improvements to my favorite game mode (Territory Battles), I'm looking forward to BB8, and the Shard Store is definitely better (as long as they don't stop putting new character shards in there as the get released).But I can't be upbeat about any of it. I hate the changes to the Fleet Store so much. That was my favorite source of cuffs, and guns. I have almost all the rare ships I need, more Zetas than I need, and 30k Fleet currency saved. Fleet currency is piling up, so I was finally at a point where I had a surplus, and was really starting to make a dent in my gearing projects. Taking that away was very upsetting. I don't know why this was taken away.Why did the Fleet Store get gutted? Was I getting too much gear? This was a horrible idea. I look forward to additional characters and ships being added. But I hate, absolutely HATE having the opportunity to choose gear instead taken from me. Not rage quitting, or threatening. But respectfully, my feedback on this change is I hate it.This is a different topic from the other store everyone is so happy about, and is just as relevant a topic for the front page, so hopefully it doesn't disappear. If you're upset about losing gear in the Fleet Store let me know.

I really liked getting gear out of fleet shipments I hope they put them back or bring a bunch of new ships straight into fleet shipments

And yes, I too need about 800 stun cuff salvage urgently, but I just think that it's way better now than it was before.Could you explain why you like that gear is gone from the fleet store? This makes no sense to me, unless you are conflating the shard shop change with the removal of fleet store gear. But your comment about the guild store makes me think you have some other reason you want less gear options available.

You know that you can still buy stun cuffs and guns with fleet tokens, right? It may be in a roundabout way, but it's what...11 character shards for 6 cuffs/guns, so the exchange rate is worse, but not by much...

Yeah. Just cash in those shards.

They were available very often. That's not the case anymore.

Fleet Store 2.0 is a terrible dissapointment

Oh good, another thread complaining about cheaper and more easily obtainable gear.

Did you read the OP before you posted? Or was it too hard to read from that high horse?

Go ahead, say it, removing gear from the fleet store was a brilliant amazing idea because having no gear in the fleet store is obviously better than a really good selection of gear in the fleet store.

Eh - I hated spending fleet tokens on anything but zetas. Not sure why you think this is a disaster with the shard shop rework.

Shard shop currency is harder to come across without sacrificing promoting other toons. Very few people have every toon they want promoted fully. There's absolutely no reason what so ever to take away a good avenue of gear when the community tells you gear crunch is too much as is. I used my tokens primarily for gear. I've gotten MAYBE 6k shard shop tokens in the time I've been playing this. I should stop farming other characters so I can farm shop currency? Thats just stupid

We don't really need too much zetas. Just few for arena team. Anyone said zeta is very valuable, either they have bad luck with RNG in challenge, or bad with games.

For me, the fleet store might as well contain nothing but zetas.

At twice the cost....

So far there have been 0 cuff in the shard shop. Set an alarm and checked each refresh.
Without this change i would be 24 cuffs richer than i am now.

HATE THIS CHANGE.

Cuff n gun are decent appereance in fleet shop. But now they become rare in shard shop. Have u ever wonder why the price of refresh is 25 crystals? Just sayin' :#

the gear you were getting in fleet you now get cheaper in shard shop, and it refreshes every 6 hrs. "oh no, i have to spend fleet tokens on ships, or toons, or zetas :( :( :( "
so sad. sooooo very sad.

I've bought two of each since the change. They never showed up in the Fleet Store every single time, either and the Fleet Store didn't refresh as often. And I didn't have to put off buying a zeta.

Man I feel your pain.
I feel the same way as so many others

I've been holding rank 1 for months now. Everyday I knew how much I had to spend, and I managed my resources so I could focus on some ships and gear.

I don't get why because some can't manage their resources well enough that others must be punished. People keep going on about "now I can but zeta" but what stopped them before. Honestly. They go on about how spending fleet tokens on gear is a waste. Ok, fine then don't buy it. That's their choice. Nobody forces them, so now this happens and we get punished.

It really **** me off. I how that if we keep voicing our concern, it may get addressed

I'll second these comments, because it's true. There was no valid reason to remove gear from the fleet shop. It makes little sense to close a gear avenue.
