You've kind of just supported my observations with your reply. You recognize this is not a problem for your main, and for only your newer account. So your prediction that everybody will feel this and content creators will cry down the line is quite exaggerated.
As I acknowledged, yes, new accounts have bottlenecks that eventually go away. But new accounts should also be trying to grow. You will get Jabba and Hondo on those accounts eventually. Meanwhile, those circuit breakers won't be more of a problem than before episodes were a thing, and you'll still have the blue cylinder bottleneck. Yes, we're in a weird disparity now of LSTs meaning that gearing is outpacing mod acquisition (and zetas and omicrons), though there is at least some trade-off in that skipping a lot of gear, signal data (and maybe stars?) means more crystals can be spent on mod energy refreshes if that's where your choke point is.
Reaching any Legend, including Jabba, should be accompanied by development and preparation for reaching Legend. You should accumulate Kiros, Zetas, Signals relic materials and, most importantly, top speed modules while reaching Legend. This is a sound way to level up and the most reliable strategy, rather than reaching a particular Legend only to begin to farm modules properly and stagnate during the process.
Let me repeat, the release of a Legend on the level of Jabba, and especially Hondo, sounds like a mockery to most young players. Even players who have at least Jabba complain about a lack of resources to upgrade modules. And this clearly points to a serious problem.

Again, I have to restate that the comments about Jabba and Hondo are in response to your assertion that the content creators will eventually start feeling this pinch. It is not directed at younger players, and is certainly not intended as mockery. I do fully acknowledge that some people have expressed a frustration at these being removed. But it still seems that they will either overcome this eventually, as we all got these passively somehow before Galactic Challenges and episodes were even a thing, or through growing their rosters to a point where they will be able to participate in the SR events.
But if these were added back in to the track, they would likely just run into the other mod bottlenecks I have already mentioned. Progress on mods doesn't seem likely to significantly speed up in the long term, though some accounts may see momentary bumps. I think a far larger problem is the influx of LSTs which will create a disparity between the number of characters who need good mods and the ability to acquire them. You may feel the inadequate progress of levelling mods is due solely to their lack from the episode track, but it is too conflated with the other anniversary changes.

I wanted to apologize for one thing. I thought it was one of my posts 😅. I'm an idiot, I didn't immediately notice that it was just a similar post to the ones I wrote 🤣. And I'm a little ashamed and it seems cringeworthy that I'm literally answering for another guy.
Regarding the problem, players can't solve it on their own. Advising them to go to Jabba or Hondo isn't the answer. Jabba won't solve this problem completely, and going to Hondo seems out of reach for most young players. Players simply won't be able to adapt to such changes. I know because I tried it on a young account, and I had to give up Omicrons, Cyrotechs, and signals. The only ones who can solve this problem are the developers themselves. But they're silent. They're simply silent about it. We get new characters thanks to free LSTs, but they're empty, without good modules, and they simply join a huge, long queue for leveling and upgrading these modules, and this queue grows and grows, as does the level of depression among players. And this problem needs to be solved somehow. Players aren't ready for this and certainly won't adapt to this. And this could really lead to tragic consequences. I want more people play and have more fun in this game.
Another problem is the loss of enjoyment from the gameplay. The game is increasingly becoming a chore and a second job. Having acquired a new team and assembled a squad, we now don't even have the opportunity to test it out due to the loss of Galactic Challenges. I just got GL Ahsoke on my main account. And I can't even play with my new GL. Because its a defensive team.

Well that was funny to read all this conversation 🤣.
I'll just say this. We have a serious problem that needs to be solved. We shouldn't react too aggressively. We need to calm down. Arguing about it and falling for obvious provocations isn't worth it. It won't solve the problem; it will just start a fight in the comments. I'm absolutely against hushing up or softening this problem. The problem is too important to simply brush it aside. But we need to be calm. Less toxic and not react so aggressively to provocations and attempts to soften the problem. Be rational, man. Otherwise, we'll be of little help to the community facing this problem.
