Gear Crunch

So here goes...... how could they fix our stores to allow us to actually BUY the items we want to gear people up.

Guild Token Store - See Highlighted area that IMO don't need to be in the rotation.


Not bad, only 1 is useless out of 5. But even that one doesn't need to be in the rotation.


2 pieces don't need to be here at all & a 3rd (M5 Furnace) was only an issue at G8/9 when trying to level up multiple teams right around Level 70-85 range & now sit there waiting for the day you have to go back & work a different team.


2 pieces of gear that are easily farmed from nodes including better gear.


Better places to farm 3 of these v/s spending Guild Tokens


Mods Store - Do people even buy the Type-E mods w/ no stats on them?

Of this page the Gold Cross is the only one I'd even look at for possible Primary/Secondary combo of stats.
Maybe its just me but unless its a Gold "Left Side" or Purple "Right Side" mod, I don't even look at them.


GET Store: Arguably the most valuable currency in the game, I have no idea why there is ANYTHING in this store that isn't a hugely in demand item.
Personally I only buy the 6 "Epic" Ships/Characters from here & Stun Guns.


3 items out of 6 on this page are useless & need to be removed to make room for more frequent chances at the "Good" Gear.


I recently just crafted some MK3s so don't let that 91 fool you, this entire page is useless.


4 of 6 should be farmed in other locations. The last 2 should do but at least those 2 are slow enough that maybe someone could be desperate to speed up the process.
It would be bad to use GET but at least its not criminal like using it for the highlighted 4.


Now onto the Shard Shop.


Mixed bag of 2 useless, 3 questionable, and only 1 in demand item.


And a full row of items you don't want to buy to finish off the store.
Remove them from the Rotation, Replace them more shots at better items.
The only time I'm out of Shard Currency is when I start making LOTS of purchases of the 720 items for a particularly in demand G12 piece. If I'm not buying lots of 720's the Shard Shop just keeps building up.


And finally the newest store in game, The Conquest Store.
Created long after we have been pointing out the need to remove bad items from stores & only rotate good ones.

And we still get a 50/50 ratio today of bad items.
Its mind boggling that Mk4 Stunguns are in ANY store ever.


Its not like this would even be giving us gear free like the many updated challenge suggestions.

No, this would just let us SPEND FASTER, what a crazy concept that is right?

I don't think removing the gear you suggest would help much if any. I already use these stores exclusively for gear and ignore these items. I also frequently deplete these currencies and wait for more even with ignoring useless gear.

All removing the useless gear will do is change the waiting for gear you need to show up to waiting for more currency. Not much of a change.

The development time would be better spent on actually easing the pre g12 gear crunch.
