Over half my guild consists of newer players (on average about 2.4 gp) and the complaints are always centered around gear not shards. It is a shame that such a easy solution of NOT doubling the cost in the shard shop to help with the gear crunch...is not part of the economy discussion is unbelievable. Wouldn’t you want to do something that benefits all players whether it is shards or gear? With relics the gear crunch is insane and the recent release of galactic challenges hasn’t helped. Those two kyros I receive once a week isn’t helping.
