For your consideration
Dear CG,
Since the removal of the MK 8 BioTech Implant Salvage "golden eyeballs" as raid rewards progress on my roster has slowed down a great deal. As of right now I have 28 toons that require one or more of said pieces. Before this unfortunate change I was able to gear up my toons much faster since I only had to purchase the MK 8 BioTech Implant Prototype (black golden eyeballs) from shipments. I understand that the community asked for the removal of challenge gear from the raids but you chose to keep some high valuable gear i.e. MK 3 Carbanti Sensor Array. I would like to submit that the MK 8 BioTech Implant Salvage is also a highly valuable gear piece that is a challenge gear but should have stayed as a raid reward. Currently that piece is farmable from 3 nodes a 20 energy hard node and 2 10 energy normal nodes. Both of the normal energy nodes have what seems a terrible drop rate for this gear piece. The last few days I have used refreshes to farm this piece and got 1-2 pieces per refresh. I did get zero pieces often. This means that the player base is left with only getting this piece from the weekly challenges which give you 3-4 pieces per attempt. That means that we are getting 15-20 pieces for that day. The event comes around 3 times per week which means that if we are luck we can get 1 full piece at the end of the week as this pieces requires 60 salvage pieces. If we take that on average we are getting 1 full piece from weekly challenges and take the example of the 28 toons that I have that need said piece that leave me waiting six months to finish my gearing. This does not take into account any new toons that are introduced or that I have yet to discover require this piece. Before the removal of this piece from the raids this is a piece I looked forward to getting as a reward. I would get it often as a reward to my delight. Right now I am stuck on what to gear because all the toons in my favorites require this piece to take them to gear 11 or g12. My only real option to get this piece faster is through shipments. Which means this once F2P gear piece is now much closer to P2P. I would like to submit this for your consideration. Thank you.
