Please Leave Challenge Drops in Raids Rewards
Some of us need the challenge rewards more than others. The yellow balls will be required by more characters at the top end than mk3 carbantis. Sure people may have 900 now, but they go quick.

Forget that, I want more higher end gear. Once you get to a certain point, gearing a character is a challenge."Revi;c-1527651" wrote:

There is something seriously wrong if you don't have almost infinite MK 8 BioTech Implant Salvage.
You've got a lot of balls?- Hey, great idea OP. Do something that screws over most players to benefit a few outliers. I'm sitting on over 1400 of that gold eyeball salvage. To buy the prototypes to pair with it, even at the dirt cheap price of 375 crystals for 25 (best gear value for crystals by far), it would cost me 18,000 crystals to burn though it. And you could multiply that times 3 to count all the gold challenge gear.
It's not a huge number of players who've spent over 50,000 crystals on just a couple of gear slots. To be running low on that stuff means either you're a whale who can afford to buy whatever you want, and removing challenge gear will probably save you money by getting other harder to get gear more often, or you haven't been playing long, and you'll be drowning in that gold challenge gear soon if you're patient.
I've bought dozens of the black/gold eyeball parts to pair with the gold challenge parts. I've bought it more than any other gear piece by far. Probably double or triple anything else. I went months where I bought only those every time I saw them. And I still need literally hundreds of other harder to obtain gear pieces to even get close to needing all this gold eyeball salvage. And I'm not an outlier. Nothing you've said here proved keeping challenge gear in raids is doing anything but watering down rewards with garbage to the harm of almost everyone.
Edit: I just checked, and I have 3,200 and 3,500 of the other 2 types of gold challenge gear. Assuming we get all three at a fairly consistent rate that means I've spent my top 5 arena winnings on just black/gold eyeball components for two solid months and still can't get through all that salvage. But it's higher than that because I've bought some of the other two as well. Totally unbalanced compared to some characters needing 6 cuffs or 10-15 carbantis at 1400 crystals a pop. - I’m in the same boat as most of you, sitting on tons of the challenge gear and desperately needed the prototypes.
But one thing to keep in mind:
Right now, we are getting the salvage from challenges and from raid drops. So we are swimming in them.
These changes to raid rewards will mean we lose the salvage raid drops (less coming in) and more prototypes (more spending).
It is conceivable that we could all be missing the challenge gear before too long.
Saying that, I still think that removing the challenge gear would be an overall improvement. - I have 26 toons that need mk8 biotech. I have so much salvage it would cover every toon. I have no prototypes. I have no idea how anyone could possibly run out of salvage, you get it so much faster than you can prototypes unless you’re frequently buying them w/ crystals. Including salvage, “challenge gear”, as a raid reward is beyond frustrating.
- If you already have 900 then your not going to run out. They aren't really used more than once at a single tier for each hero. If your already running str at tier 4 than you really past the point where you need to worry about running out of them.

Here you go.
I just can't understand how this is possible, unless you're buying the component with all your available currency as soon as you get it. How do you get more component than salvage when the piece requires both and you get the salvage 3x a week from the challenge? The 10 difference in requirement for the full piece isn't enough to make up the difference...especially considering you should have been doing the challenge long before you were needing the component."WookieWookie;c-1527849" wrote:
This has to be the ingle most successful troll in the history of the forums. Don’t feed the trolls. Close the thread. Even CG has conceded that carbantis are in short supply and the only challenge gear worth keeping in raid rewards, and THEY have a profit motive. OP is only motivated by shaddenfruede.
Just because you don't have this problem doesn't mean that others don't. I didn't know I had an issue until I went to put on a gold ball and came up short.
And while I'm not f2p, I'm not a whale by any means. I barely get 1-2 vaults a month. Mostly using crystals to buy stun guns and stun gun prototypes."Indigø;c-1527858" wrote:

You are in the minority. You are entitled to your opinion, but folks are pointing out, unless you are gearing up multiple characters at the same time, by spending money to get the prototypes, you cannot outdistance the salvage gained in a week from simply doing the daily salvage challenge.
That’s the heart of the issue. 99% of the population does not have this issue for whatever reason. I currently have over 1200 salvage and am struggling to get prototypes. The complete set given as a gift yesterday went straight onto R2."Indigø;c-1527858" wrote:
