Maul Shards

Proving grounds. It comes around for a day at the end of every conquests season and you earn 20 shards a time. You can refresh his tier twice for 2200 crystals a time. He might be available for GET3 as well, not sure if he’s in that shop yet, someone else might know.

Who's not listening to what? If you want Maul and you can't beat the Proving Grounds battle, the thing to do is work on fixing that - then you can more easily get Maul shards. CG has gone out of their way to make Conquest characters difficult to attain. Sure, it would be nice if they were easier to get, and perhaps they will be some time in the future, but as it stands now they WANT these characters to be out of reach for newer accounts.

I have guild mates that need CAT and Maul and other Conquest characters, but CG is guarding these characters so closely that I can't even enter the proving grounds battles to help my friends come up with a strategy for beating them.

That is what it is. Your best bet is to find a guide online and work on gearing a team that is proven to work. Chances are it would be a team that you'd need for something else anyway, so aside from the Maul shards, you'll get some other benefits from doing so as well.

The Maul PG, iirc, is a Phoenix team. They can be beaten pretty easily by Padme GR (Padme, JKA, AT, GK, C3PO) all at r5 with decent mods.

When a character is released to PG do they stay there forever?

It would seem so. RC as the oldest conquest character is still in proving grounds.

If one has Lord Vader, should have something that works for Maul and CAT in proving grounds. Don't remember those challenges being particularly hard at all, not at least when compared with the Defender and Malgus challenges.
