Gated gear and useless benchwarming characters.
To the powers that be,
I do appreciate you bumping up challenge rewards and the overall QOL update. That was fantastic. However, I don't understand the gate / drop rates over things like Stun Cuffs / ComLinks / Detonators and everything we need 50 of (ESPECIALLY Cuffs). We are already gated by some AAT gear that are A: Non farmable and B: Non requestable like Bacta Gel / HoloLens / Etc. I do understand that some of these are available in guild shop and fleet shop but the exchange rate is horrid (also, why were the 40 / 50 salvages taken out of guild shipments and replaced with 2?) Which brings me to my next point:
Why are we not allowed to deconstruct characters we put gear on that are now on the bench? For example, I spent a lot of time gearing Barriss. In fact, I brought her to max gear literally an HOUR before her Zeta was reworked and Zetas on her were given back. I literally maxed her out on gear and had one or two more Zeta mats to go before the fix came. I wasn't upset about her Zeta not being AS powerful as it was since it was not working as intended, but I was a little miffed about all the crystals I spent on her gear only to be all for naught.
I'm sure a lot of us have a lot of gear VIII, IX and X characters riding the pine right now with the Zetas coming out. Why not give the option to strip gear and reassign to someone else? That would negate a lot of the "man, I wish I didn't bring a non-pilot benchwarmer like Ugnaught to XI when he's not even that good in the raid....and why do Jawas kind of suck?" laments from us. I'm not sure how this would be implemented or if it could, but it would be nice.
BTW, for the record, I do understand the drawbacks for you on the business side of things, but I think we could all figure out something.
And for heaven's sake, can we PLEASE get a slider in Arena and Fleet? Having to bang refresh over and over is zero fun.
