I'm a couple pieces of gear away from g12 (and thus 17.5k, there's no way I'm spending a zeta) for Canderous. Exactly when I finish will be a combination of raid-gear drops and store availability (just need Carbantis for the Mk6 stun gun, but I need a bunch of Mk4 holo salvage for the finished Mk4). Darth Revan is only g11, but with zetas is way over the gp threshold, so with good luck on today's raids I could be done with Canderous and completely ready by tonight... or maybe not for another 3-4 days.
So I'm content to wait another week. It means I don't have to rush buy gear the expensive way (crystals). After that, though, I'll definitely be hoping for sooner rather than later. The 13th sounds soon enough, though. I'm not stressed.
