Sim Card Overdose

Is there anything one can do with excess Sim cards? I'm nearing 1000 and thought maybe I could trade them in on a 1-1 basis for character shards? :D
  • I feel that the limitation here is energy, not sim cards. I don't even run through any missions without sim cards anymore and I'm still gaining each day. Maybe it's because most of my runs are through the HARD levels for the character shards instead of the NORMAL levels to focus on equipment pieces, since NORMAL levels use less energy.

    How do you reckon that? Lvl 70, have more than 2.5 k. Sims, afaik, are rarer when you get more bang for your buck, energy wise at lower levels. As energy costs start rising for farming, sims start piling up. Of course, that's only if you use crystals to refresh energy and who doesn't?
  • People keep bringing up having a surplus of sim tickets. I don't understand why. There have been very few, if any instances of goodwill or generosity towards the player base. Based on this games history so far, any change to the generation or use of sim tickets would result in a negative impact on players. This is the only form of currency there isn't a massive game wide shortage of. Let's be thankful.
  • As f2p player, I'm actually using up all my tickets and occasionally have to do manual battles aside from the daily hard mode battles which I've also done manually. I mostly sim 8 energy battles for gear and I normally buy the first two refreshes. My small stockpile would be gone every time I level and get the bonus energy and now the free bonus energy we get 3x a day.
  • 3.3k and rising. I only sim 60+ missions. Rest is all auto for the extra (not)useful ally points and actually letting me play more then an hour a day outside of GW.

    I don't think anyone is complaining, but wondering if there's anything else to use the tix on. If I'm going to collect more and more forever, maybe they should implement other ways to use them...?

    If, on the other hand, I can somehow actually use them, then maybe I just need to know what I'm missing so I can consider doing that. I'd like to get my use out of them, considering I bought them with crystals :)
  • The math:

    • freebie through daily challenges: +20 tickets
    • Cantina Battles; 20 runs, 1 refresh: -10 tickets
    • LS/DS Missions; 2 refreshes, ~9 runs each: +22 tickets
    • Daily energy, natural refreshes; ~20-30 runs: -20/30 tickets
    • Not running everything with Sim Tickets: +10 tickets (at least)

    Daily tickets for me: +10 --> +30
