Thanks for your input.
My point was more about a balance between shards collection, credit and gear as well as gear allocation. I have 5 toons at 7* level 50 G3 and I probably will have more in the future.
Even though Devs are releasing new toons, I am not excited at all, because they will be useless Even at 7*, as I need to gear them if I want them to be anywhere useful.
By the way, I would be really glad if newer players had it easier as we have: it will take them months anyways to be at my level (4.6M damage in heroic tank), and this is without considering mod farming which is the worst dimension in farming ;)
