Well, that isn't what was discussed before. I mean I understand the buisness of it. But I don't know that such things are set in stone so to speak. But as well, I do not wish to see free gear removed, there are only 3 pieces of gear that I can use out of the 3 events & they are all contained in Tarkins Challenge. If I dont have to do them, that wouldn't bother me either. The picture I posted shows several toons requiring that gear, i dont know if that doesnt update as the gear is circulated or not. But I have nowhere to used well over 3000 pieces of that 1 gear. I have many many more, & not just stuff you get in the challenges. But all of the many (in my opinion) overstuffed hard nodes that are in a very rng dependent system designed to overflow with items generally used in lower geared toons.
So all of this os going to waste & efforts are in vain.
Growth & achievement should be rewarded & I whole heartedly believe that it is time to start rewarding the people that have vested in their product. Rather I feel everytime I have made great strides & growth it gets taken from me or set back somehow. It's time to give back the community that lines the pockets & makes this possible
