Get1 & Get2 are destroying the game

IMO it's not GET 1&2, those are just resources to be managed, if you didnt do so you will find yourself in a sticky situation.

The timeline for these characters is longer than a raid toon, but if one was introduced this would be the same problem. It depends how you look at it, but the root problem seems to be more the power difference of a 5* toon, vs 7* g13, 6dot mod, r(1-7). The most recent g13 + r + 6dot makes anything not completed to that level, basically useless against anyone who is.

Gear grind aside, they need to rethink the way g13, mods, and relics are gated if they want to try and avoid any of this in the future.

Kyno,

I post on these forums every now and then. There are few times I agree with you. The line, “The timeline for these characters is longer than a raid too.” Is why I am furious at these ridiculous GET currency farms!

Think of the ways GET 1 or GET 2. GET is awarded in small amounts for TW and HSith. One is PvP where one person, whale, with a decked out Malak or G$ can almost keep a whole guild from winning. The other is The hardest raid in the game. This is a difficult grind already. Like a slow escalator to the top of Mt. GET 1 for 7star Malak or G$.

Then the best way to earn GET 1&2 is Geo TBs. The most time consuming RNG content we have. This is even worse than the gear grind... this is grind^2 (squared).

There has to be some reconciliation between CG creating these 5star unlocks. Why not let a diminishing amount of shards be rewarded for completing the Malak and G$ event multiple times? Why not just let them be unlocked at 7star?

CG may not want players to hoard and predict new toons come Nd to the game, but that is exactly what I am driven to do. My Malak is 70/85 shards. I am currently at 13.1k GET1 and am hoarding for G$. 68.4k has become my new zero. 80 zeta mats are the new zero. I am accruing the gear for him to be the new double and triple checked new zeros...

How am I ever going to purchase gear in that store? Or how am I going to use GET2 for anything other than ships? 105/145 for Negotiator? This game is no longer a game of Heroes but of Hoarding... absolutely infuriating.

My point is that, eve if they change the GET 1&2 situation, the problem still exists for any toon that has a long farm (essentially all of them) because a 5* g11 5dot mod toon is basically useless in most of the game, and will become less relevant as more events are released geared for relics, which means g13.

GET 1&2 are resources that can be managed, and anyone can always choose to spend a little on gear if they choose to, and risk "the next thing" that is put there.... some of us did that already.

We also dony know how those incomes will change over the next few (6 ish) months with LS GeoTB and a raid (which they have hinted at in the QA)

I'm not disagreeing that the current GET situation is not great, but I believe that will change to some extent as more things get added, the root problem will still exist due to the gated mods, gear and relics, regardless of any changes to GET.
