Omegas

And stop with the "every ability doesn't need to be omega'd" advice, that's just silly and once again probably comes from a high GP person. Nearly every ability NEEDS to be maxed, each omega usually adds a minimum of 15% damage or an additional effect on an ability, so that advice is basically saying don't use your squads to their full potential. Now if you were to add an addendum to that statement such as don't max abilities on characters you don't use then yes I agree, but if that character is level 85 and a gear level high enough to unlock omegas then that character is most likely being used in TW at the very least.

Your addendum is the point. I have 3 million GP, and at least 50 characters with no abilities above 3, so I don't even spend purples on them. And that causes me no inconvenience at all, those characters present little use. Even on good characters, there is often no need to increase the leader ability since they never lead.

This is a first and foremost a resource management game. Manage your energy, your crystals, your gear, and yes your omegas. I always need more omegas. But I also always need more carbantis/guns/cuffs, more energy for hard node farms and cantina farms, more good mods, more gold. Choosing how to spend your resources in an intelligent way is the key to this game. If you omega'ed your clones and now you can't omega your nightsisters, that's not CG's mistake for making omegas too rare - it's yours for making a poor choice.
