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.

Of course you will have nowadays allways a disadvantage with a 5☆ toon (no matter what kind of toon) against 7☆ relic 7 toons with 6dot mods.

That's okay for me btw (that relics got too early released after gear 13 is another topic).
But that a legendary toon with unbelievable requirements doesn't unlock at 7☆ and iam not able to gear 13 and relic him, isnt! Considering the commit and resources I did spend on getting it.

And dont tell me get is manageable. Lol
I got malak the first time around (sadly had no get saved, because never expected that this would be needed).

I didn't spend any get on anything, just 7☆ my malak and could save up again 35k get.
Now I unlocked gas first time around and again have to wait a long time for 7☆ him, even worse those time because malak was usable at 5☆, gas far less.

Negotiator I just unlocked. I bet until the time malovalence hits the table, I wont have it 7☆ it yet.

If you call this manageable, well it isnt for me. Is it rewarding? Even less, its simply just annoying!

With this pace I could rather consider from now un unlocking legendaries on the second go, because I anyway wont have the get to max and to use them.

If many think so, this wont work out for cg in a good way. Strange strategy, that's why I initially posted here...

GET can be managed, players got malak and GAS to 7* in a reasonable amount of time. Those who didnt manage their GET, didn't.

The problem with having toons on a long farm (longer than usual) has almost nothing to do with GET, because if the toon had a different source the problem of having a shiny paper weight would still be there.

This has nothing to do with legendaries, both of the toons released to that store are epic, not legendary. Not sure if you misspoke here.

As I said, GET will likely get a boost with LS Geo.

It seems like your issue is that you want gear and the toon, and that is what you need to manage, that has always been part of the game.

Edit to add: if toons were more useful while finishing off the grind to 7*, it wouldnt be so much of an issue.

My bad - obviously ment epic and not legendary toons.

I guess were also talking a bit about different things. I dont mind long get farms like we had it before (hyoda + wampa). Which are both good toons.

But I dont like get farms for epic released toons I did put a lot of focus on and effort in to get this toon.

Also I dont like get farms for capital ships, which we lack since a long time. And which is a boring content. The **** meta lasted now 10! Month. With no diversity or other options.

Get farms for any normal toons (similar to the hoth ones) are okay.

F2p get punished with this model (cant buy gear out of the shop because have to hoard get)
P2p gets punished because they dont get rewarded when they receive a 5☆ toon which is nearly unusable.
Guilds system gets hurt, because who wants to stay in a low gp guild who doesn't do geo tb or just gets few stars there?

That's for me a loose-loose-loose situation.

I just dont think that anything about GET is bad for the game, at least not as bad as the uselessness of a 5* toon. GET wasnt part of "the plan" to help with the gear crunch, and we have at least 2 more sources of GET coming.

Ls geo tb will take away one ds geo tb - I dont see how there will be coming in more get currency, its just another map, but with the same amount of get currency. (Maybe it's even less, because the guilds first have to adjust to the teams needed, and create a plan on how to max the ☆ for this tb).
Except they are planning on increasing the get amount as a reward.

Also dont know what the second mentioned income of new get will be...
