Raid Rewards and Challenge Gear Nonsense

@CG_SBCrumb Thank you for the work that you do, but I believe the community has the right to know why we've not seen an update to the heroic raid rewards yet as relates to Challenge Gear.

Why is Challenge gear still a "thing" in the Heroic Sith Raid, or even the Heroic AAT raid. By the time players/guilds are able to finish those Raids, they should have hundreds, if not thousands of gear salvage stockpiled for those rewards.

It is a kick in the teeth, a punch in the gut, a slap in the face, (insert other here) to open up the reward screen after slogging through a Sith Raid and see 15 pieces of MKIV Droid Caller or some other crap challenge gear we get every few days with 5 seconds of effort.

We were offered more transparency and communication, but other than the completely stupid way gear 12 5 and 6 are handed out (that's a topic for another time) we've not heard anything about the reward restructuring.

These raids are for end game players, but they are rewarded like mid-tier players. This is wrong and should be corrected as soon as possible. The goal of CG is to want it's players to compete in the Raids correct? Then start encouraging us to do so. Not providing horrible crap resources that everyone has stockpiles of. That discourages full participation.

Thank you,
Dorian Blade
  • @CG_SBCrumb @CG_Carrie I apologize for double tagging, but this is the post I am referring to:

    It's well past May, and we have not seen any reward restructuring other than the shafting of everyone that isn't in the top 3 of the Heroic Sith Raid.

    And here's another post where you call the raid "the most challenging pve content to date", but still we get crap rewards.

  • Which is why we need to keep making new posts. Stop updating megathreads which can (and will) be ignored, and flood the boards with it, and tag them every time.
  • I agree; it is time we finally get some answers on the challenge gear in raid rewards. Why is it still in there, and what is the timetable to get it removed?
  • Careful Dorian them's fightin words. If you want them to see your posts, post to reddit. These wannabe mods will close or move or delete your thread as its to open minded.


  • Here an example. I finished #1 in the Heroic AAT, and got this garbage.
  • Maybe for players on the lower end of things some challenge gear is
    a problem. Once you hit the higher end, those hundred or thousand yellow balls you have stockpiled evaporate rapidly. And once they're gone, they take forever to build up. Rather have them than carbantis. You'll find yourself sitting on 1-2 prototypes while waiting for 60 of the other to build up. And they're very crystal expensive.
