That Gamorrean Guard is a beast.

Let's gate it at 10mil GP for the next new shiny toon, see if you would jump or not. Hope u can be happy if the next GL requirement is 10 mil GP gate

I’d take a look at how many players have 10m GP+ versus 4m GP+ before throwing out a random number thinking it’s adding to your argument…

Awesome.

You forgot: ...and as long as they have at least 4M GP, otherwise nothing to see.

Why, what is stopping GL from doing it?
Hahdnt they done so for LSTB? Where to get full stars is a GP NONE of the player base has reached?

I don’t see how achieving full stars in an event has anything to do with a GP gate for a specific character… you don’t need to get full stars to get good rewards.

I don't see how a GP gate is relevant at all for a simple event

I do… it’s called forced roster development. Want to do Hard Mode Conquest? Get 4m GP.

For example, the Heroic Tank raid was extremely difficult to beat when first introduced. Heroic Sith and Challenge Rancor both were extremely difficult as well at the beginning. For many guilds, impossible. For the guilds that couldn’t, they were forced to go for the lower tiers to get lower rewards. Sound familiar?

And not forgetting that the 4 mil is not the only gate. At 4 mil u only get to do the event.... For 10 shards!!! U want more shards? Spend more crystals!!!!

And not forgetting that some time has passed before they tell us where to get cat.

Not forgetting that they didn't tell us abt the gp gate or the crystal refresh during initial announcement

Not forgetting that for a time they kept silent about where cat is going to be placed

Heck if this is the event we are expecting, we might as well be buying CAT shards for the last 6 months. We would had probably completed it by now

No it's not. It's supposed to be a source for people to finish farming her and a source for people in the future to farm without using Conquest Tickets for old, old, old characters. It's not a catch up for new or low gp players. New players should focus on building a roster and low-gp players should focus on increasing their gp.

There is a progression. These characters and ships are the current tail end of progress. You don't get to skip roster development just because a character at the end of the line is good. You still have to go down that line.

This is a character collecting resource management game. Just do everything you can to boost up your roster. The more this game goes on the more CG wants everyone to have a huge well developed roster. If you want the new things faster you will have to always grow your roster to be ask big as you can.

Sorry, but what you say is a contradiction. Either you manage your resources and use them wisely so you can build your roster effectively and get the best out of it or you have to bloat it to "grow" as fast as possible for a specific GM. To achieve that you use your resources for toons or ships that you will not be needing in the near future or ever.

That's not a contradiction, though. There are thresholds and requirements for everything. You can't get Lord Vader without a Tusken Raider, you can't get Grandmaster Luke without Captain Han and a bunch of ewoks.

Moreover, there are a lot of us out there who DO "bloat" our rosters because, for us, the game is a collecting game and you "win" by raising characters. We've been behind the 8-ball forever, so the one time that style of play is rewarded you're kvetching? Sorry I never bothered with a meta, I just did what made me happy. Now this is making me happy--although I already finished both Ahsoka and Razor Crest with Conquest Tickets after their Chase event, so I just got shard shop currency out of this.

Really wanna know where u get ur idea from. Here is my source:

Also to proof another flaw in their announcement. They said you can farm 20 shards. But so far only able to farm 10. (Unless they meant refreshes with crystals)
