Gear crunch empty promises

Maybe as a newer player, you don't know how much of a shift the changes they have made represent. I've been f2p for three(4?) years now and the availability of gear is markedly better over the last 3-4 months. Yes, stun guns remain the biggest hurdle, but they ARE more available the daily challenge and more regular appearances in different stores. And yes, that then squeezed carbantis, but to be expected; and still not as bad a limiting factor as the previous lack of stun guns. Crystals are also more abundant so energy refreshes and ad-hoc purchases can be utilized more often. This is a strategy game, and part of that is utilizing limited resources.
