Gear 10 vs Gear 11
Can someone please explain to me why only some heroes can go to gear 11? It seems kinda unfair. Some of the heroes that could really use all the help they can get and are underpowered and stuck at gea...

It's not intentional on the devs part, different pieces of gear have different level requirements, and characters like Anakin and ST Han, lucked out by having their gear 11 pieces all level 80 or lower. Characters that are stuck at gear 10 simply require pieces that are above level 80. When the next level cap increase happens gear 10 characters will be gear 11.
The gear 11 characters however might not get to gear up when that happens, unless their gear 12 pieces are all level 90 pieces. That's not saying they won't get to equip new pieces of gear, its just I find it unlikely that all those pieces would be level 90, it's more likely a few of those pieces would be level 91+ and they won't get to gear up with the next level cap increase.
The developers developed this system where some characters can get to a higher gear level than others. It can only be described as intentional.
It could be seen as intentional, in that they have all the gear a character needs mapped out way ahead of time to better fulfill their roles, and they decide when to raise the level cap, and make that gear available. But they did not get together and plan for certain characters to reach gear 11 before others. It just kind of happened that certain characters could reach gear 11 because the gear they had planned out ahead of time was all level 80 or below.
Did you know back when the level cap was 60, that Jedi Consular was one of the best healers because he could reach gear 8 when the others couldn't. His higher stats from being able equip more pieces of gear than other characters made him a step above the rest.
