New TB no GET 1?

I get adding new GET currency, however do the developers really believe that GET1 is no longer needed?
This makes no sense as units still need the gear that you can get with GET1.
Is this the make a step forward with one change to gear economy and make another step backwards with a different change?

I posted a question about this earlier. I’m hoping it’s just an oversight. Those currencies buy completely separate things. Both of which are excluded from the doubling they announced.

If you are doing the new TB then your need for GET1 shouldn’t be as bad.

That’s not true at all. GET1 is for g12 left side, GET2 is for g12 right side.

Not sure about you but i still need tons of med packs, bayonets (for ID's) and MK4 comlinks which I get mostly with GET1. Yes they are farmable, however that means you have to stop farming something else to make up for it. Running the new TB and not getting GET1 will remove a supply of gear that is currently available.

This is a resource management game, guess guilds will have to decide which path to take.

I'm glad you brought this up. I glossed over it when I read it.

I have about 5 members in my guild that have worked on Inquisitors. And I have about 4 or 5 members working on Jabba requirements (not the same players). My Inquisitors players are hoping to add Reva to their rosters in time. But should I punish the rest of the guild and their gear needs by doing the new TB and cutting out their GET1 income? Or should I punish the players who've worked on Jabba and the Inquisitors by preventing them from acquiring what they've worked towards?

Removing GET1 currency from the new TB is not going to encourage other players to build those characters. It's only going to increase the frustration of players and push them away from the game. They basically have to choose whether to work on these characters or continue getting this currency..

Edit: typo

I agree it is a resource management game, however the developers should not be pushing you backwards in events.

You should never have to make a choice to do lower level content when you are capable of doing the higher level.

You can't complain about missing GET1 in favour of GET3 until you see what GET3 purchases.

If GET3 can purchase everything you used to purchase with GET1, then there's no problem at all.

I admit it looks ... uncertain, and possibly bad. But until we see the GET3 store we really don't know anything about whether or not GET3 is an adequate replacement for GET1.

Even Mk4 Commlinks (which I also purchase with GET1 occasionally) might do okay if GET3 purchases more of everything you need from GET1 except the purples (of which the Commlinks are the only ones that are not better sourced elsewhere). In that case, you need fewer g12 purchases with Shard Shop currency and buy every commlink that drops there (if you aren't doing that already). You could be better off on g12 with GET3 and no worse off on Commlinks.

We'll see. It will be interesting.

If the gear rewards for the new TB include a bunch of the pieces that people normally use GET1 for, then I’m fine with no GET1 currency from it.

"Hope for the best, plan for the worst."
Time and again in this game this thought process is needed. Mods 1.0, 2.0, str raid rewards rework, etc.

If what you say ends up being true great, however as always "they" don't communicate enough so I only have what they said is going to happen, which as the RA is written the goal of the gear changes is actually not even close to being met and actually made worse by the information we have.
