Y'all remember the last time CG "eased the gear crunch" by adding kyrotech? Have you recently taken any legacy/launch characters through all the gear levels alongside newer releases?

With CG, any additional 'easing' of the gear crunch will just be the next tier of awful to farm gear with even worse drop rates (what an insult that kyros are purple despite their drop rate and monetization) and required even more frequently on future characters.

I can see it now:

"Hiya holotable heroes! We've seen that the community has been struggling with the farming of items such as stun guns, carbantis, and stun cuffs, so with all future character releases we'll be removing those gear requirements to ease the gear grind. We are also excited to roll out the new CryoTack gear, which be required from G5-G11 on all new characters, and can be farmed on hard node battles only, with a drop rate of 5% per 20 energy attempt. We hope you enjoy this new system that will lower the number of required stun guns, cuffs, and carbantis! See you on the holotables!"

You get 210 kyrotech per month for free doing your dailies and challenge tier 1 of assault battles. Not too shabby.

310 actually, more if you get more TB stars / win TW

I count 20x6 via AB and 3x30 via dailies...what did I miss ? (GAC could add 35 to 185, depending on your results, via GAC currency; if you have TB/TW rough numbers, please let me know !)

This info was recently gathered in another thread. I believe MasterSeedy started it.
