For reasons of my own, I've been stockpiling guild currency. Today, I will reach 10k guild currency total. Let's do a quick comparison to see what that 10k currency is worth:1) I could buy shards for a toon 25 times. At 5 shards per purchase, I would get 125 total shards for a given toon. Pretty good.2) If I wanted mk5 furnaces, or mk5 droid callers, I could purchase those only 15 times. There are 2 per purchase, which means I would get a total of 30 salvage for a furnace or droid caller - not even enough to make one full piece of gear.This comparison kind of shocked me, especially since to complete a full furnace or droid caller, additional components are required.Finally, think about the effort required to save up 10k guild currency. For all that effort, you have enough to get 60% of the salvage needed for a piece of gear? And only one part of that gear?Seems off.

Yeah, the only time I've used guild currency on gear is when I have 46/50 or 48/50 on raid gear.I'll sometimes also get a biotech implant or mk2 zaltin bacta gel if I need one since it is a whole piece.

What else to spend guild currency on? I have enough toons to gear up already, why buy more? Yeah buying the gear is slow, but man is it even slower otherwise.

The only toon in guild shop I haven't maxed is Gamorrean Guard - and he's firmly at 70/100, just in case I need to finish him "quickly".So, what else to spend currency on, indeed. Between an average of 200 coins per day from guild activity (often more), and the coins from the raids (6k per week at the top spots), it takes only two weeks to have 50 Droid Caller components. Three weeks if you're low-scoring in the raids.I'd call it fine. Especially as you get to pick gear unavailable outside of raids.Off course, don't go buying gear you can farm...

If you don't buy her every time she shows up, it'll take you forever to get her. Same goes for a lot of characters. Even having bought jyn since she was released, its taking me over 3 months to 7* her. Same with fleet shipments. You should always buy the rare ships and characters every time they show up (Rex, Poe, bistan, tie advanced, slave, scimitar, grevious, chirrut), and obtain the common ships from war.

Of course I'll want jyn eventually, when my need to gear slows down, I'll unlock her at the right time. If I do it now, she's just going to sit there. That effort could have been spent making my current stock badass.

Fleet shipments, all I get are rare ships, and that's because I am not so over flooded with toons. Characters, meh, I don't buy them anymore on fleet. I did with Vader, but he is 7* now. Eventually I will again with clones, but their gear will take way longer than it will take to finish echo and Cody. Bistan though, eee not for me at all.

I'm just saying, she will take forever to get the shards for. Especially if they release more characters in that same spot. I've even been farming the gamorrean for this reason

Just put MK3 Sinear Holo Projectors back in guild store for lvl 85 players. No reason to take those out but leave in all the other 20 salvage items except as a real slap in the face to players

+1

I think around my 30ish toon need them.. or at least make mk3 sienar guarantee drop when farming. I'm busy farming cuff, gun, detonator, etc. I can't focus farm on that bloody sienar gear that most of toon need it.
