It is scary how much these relics cost.

900 gears for 1 level 1 relic ? Are you serious ?
And where are the unused gears for level 5 ? It requires more G12 Gears ..
Shame is the only word that comes to mind ...

Imagine all my toons are G13.
I played this game for 3 years. Then the picture below shows 3 years of farming.
How many toons could I bring to level 7 relics if only the basic one was required ...
3/4 toons ... 3 years of farming = 4 toons and only for the basic gears ..
???

@BaldingHead90

I have enough people in my shard with 3 relic 7 Revans, Malaks and Bastilas to make your poor argument crumble.

Really? LOL

BaldingHead:

the that have the biggest increases the ones you'll need to grind months for.

Also BaldingHead:

Numerous people in my shard have Relic7 DR, Malak, and Bastila within hours!

So you agree that it will take months for the important Relic tiers to become relevant, but you also want everyone to know that it only takes hours before your shard becomes impossibly dominated by Maxed-Relic Darth Revan squads.

I thought you just weren't reading and understanding other people, but now I have to wonder if you're reading and understanding yourself.

Yes, relics change the game like any new gear tier. Yes, relics are going to both change and add to the gear crunch, like every new gear tier. Yes, whales are going to spend money to instantly upgrade some characters.

But no, this isn't going to have instant effects for most players. If you're not fighting whales for Arena rank, those high tier relics aren't going to be relevant for at least weeks, and more probably months. If you personally are in the minority of people who are FTP and competing against Whales in Squad Arena, I'm sorry for you, but your experience isn't relevant to the vast majority of players.

I just love how the devs add stuff no one asked for:

Today someone posted about how microtransactions are not micro and as I was writing a comment post got closed and deleted. It took about 2 minutes. If only they would work as fast to fix real problems no one would complain.

this is the end of guild exchange, with the huge amount of gear needed to make this relics, the guild donations will brutally decrease
one more step to kill altruism and encourage selfishness

relic costs too much
