New TB no GET 1?

From my perspective this is categorically false. Can you help me understand your perspective? I feel like I'm missing something if what you're saying is true.

Bringing a Marquee Character up to viability, in a game where strong squads are often Relic 5+, is a longer road than when we first introduced Marquees many years ago. These changes will help shorten that journey and get characters up to snuff so you can feel confident in using them in a variety of modes sooner.

Nothing in the changes mentioned in the RA will help get a marquee to R5+ faster.

My marquee units are mostly sitting at g11 awaiting shards not long after the marquee event, and once I do get them to 7* they will need the gear not affected by the changes that are the real gear bottleneck in the game.
I also say the changes will slow this down with doing the new TB as they are not showing you will get GET1 which is a source of the left side of G12.

The doubling of most of the gear they have targeted will not really help players after certain point. Sure it will help a new player, however personally I only farm G12 and kyro. Everything else generally comes from shipments, challenges or drops from the farming of G12, kyro and shards.
