The main costs in this game, money and time...

You don't have to spend a dime, EA has made a road map and if they stick to it you can even more easily gauge your investment of both.

What the OP is asking for is to introduce more of a gamble into the game and less planning and "skill". No thank you.

The nerf, or more commonly the "bait and switch" would kill this game faster then the gear crunch. This hurts everyone as it effects their investment of both time and/or money.

The buff (not referring to the rework) removes advantage, why would someone spend money to advance a new toon, if all of a sudden some old toon gets a buff. This hurts the revenue stream.

Balance like 'the cake' is a lie. The game needs to move forward or it will die. They need to make money, it is a business. This movement might not be paced for you, but it's better then constantly trying to change the wheel while moving to get a smoother ride.

I think I did not make myself clear, I am sorry.
I meant that they should reduce the gear grind so that we would be less **** off when our resources are render useless. I prefer to lose 2 weeks of farming than a whole month if balance were made weekly. I would then switch strategy and farm toons I really like.

I never read the part where I want to take out skill from the game?!

Yes I see what you are saying, but the end goal of you plan was to make it more acceptable to have nerf and buffs, due to this decreased cost. That was the point I was addressing, it's not just about the upfront cost.

The skill comes in from the management of you resources(gear, shards,coins,ability mats,energy, mods) 90% of the skill in this game comes before the fight. Team composition, turn order, and subs, are choices you make and things that are limited by you choices. (And rng to some extent) making it easier to gear toons takes away from the people that pay to gear fast and those that exercise practice and patience in how they are building their roster (the skill of th game)
