I was just talking about this nonsense in my guild. I'm glad to see a release schedule coming but I can collect every toon in the game but they do me 0 good until geared. At the very LEAST, we should not be getting held up due to blue and green gear. I'd be happy for a but if they would simply add droid callers to the higher level challenge tiers.
Or maybe it's time to add another higher tier to challenges that rewards more as well. This is getting out of control, they keep adding toons but we still have no way to gear them all. And yes, I know they added gear to fleet but imo that's not nearly good enough given fleet currency value in the game.
