I do understand the worries some people have about Kyros etc, I am a bit sceptical myself, but I think that if you don't really need to farm for so long for the other gear anymore you have more energy/time to farm Kyros and the rest.[/b[ While it might not make much of a difference, it might make it maybe a bit easier. I still have many characters that need comlinks etc, so if that goes faster that would already be great! I think we will have to wait and see how it plays out.

All in all I like the RA and what has been announced.

That is my point, this is where I am. I only farm kyro and shards with regular energy

So if these changes are supposed to and I quote:

To help Existing Players get new characters up-to-speed and usable in high-level content

As the game has grown, so has the difficulty and requirements for many events. 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.

How is the changes doing this if G12, kyro, and shards are not affected (I am not saying they should be) and if you lose GET1 income?
Loss of GET1 income can actually length the journey and get characters up to snuff when up to snuff is R5+, because now G12 items (for both left and right) that could have been obtained with GET1 will now have to be farmed from nodes

I think the problem just once again comes down to the fact that they don't play their game at a high level. "Strong squads" are not r5+. "Standard squads" are now r5. G12 is useless in almost all game modes for almost all characters. But this is also from the company that said datacrons were added so that our brand new characters could be used from day 1.
