I think both sides of the Wat issue have valid points. I pointed out where I was earlier so I will not rehash that position. GL Kenobi so far is probably tied with GL Luke for the least newer-mid game player friendly GL possible since he requires a GET2 ships and a DSGEOTB character. A compromise that could help out those players who aren't earning Wat Shards at a quick rate is fairly simple: Galactic Bounties III. ROLO/Wampa are already in existing Galactic Bounty events so there is a precedent for it. CG could make it harder than the existing two or make it so that BAM makes it easier to reward players that went after BAM. This way players finally have a solid use for BAM or the newer BH at higher gear levels and it does not take away from those who earned it with G11/12 Geos since a higher entry level is required.
With all that being said, I'm pretty sure there will be the inevitable 20 shards of Wat pack for 30 dollars based off previous pack offerings.
