Squad Arena and Galactic War TOKENS problem

I've been playing since April of 2016. My Guildmates and I, along with many others who have played longer than I have, I'm sure, are experiencing an excessive/wasteful amount of these "reward" Tokens which now serve no purpose other than sitting in a growing stockpile, specifically those of Galactic War and Squad Arena since we have all farmed ALL of the available characters and/or ships from those areas.

*Side Note: Squad Arena Store has 18 characters and GW Store has 15.

Like our heaps of Gear and stacks of Training/Enhancement Droids, this is getting frustrating and old quick. The first solution to this: I would strongly advise there be some sort of conversion for the Tokens like there is for excessive Character Shards in the Shard Shop. Could we get a "Token Shop", or better yet, an "Excessive Items Shop" where we can trade in all of our extra:
- Tokens,
- Training Droids,
- Enhancement Droids,
- SIM Tickets,
- GEAR (please),
- Ability Mats (mainly the Green and Blue ones for characters as well as the ship Mats),
- Character Shards (by combining the Shard Shop),
Etc. ...
By trading in all of these excessive items we can put them to good use by receiving Credits for the least. Or even "Excessive Items Shop Tokens" for rare gear, other rare character and ship shards (Veteran Smugglers, Hoth Rebel Soldier, Director Krennic, Baze, The Millenium Falcon, TIE Reaper, Etc.), Tokens for other Tokens Stores, etc.
I'm just sick of doing the free 20 minute Bronzium Pack and getting a worthless piece of Level 1 gear that I will never use due to me having thousands of them. But if I knew I could trade that in for credits, gear, a shop Token then I would be more willing to log in and get my bronziums, finish GW, collect every piece of gear, etc. which results in more character logins daily and more $ for the devs.
The second solution to half of this problem, which won't solve it in the long run, is adding new characters to the GW and SA Stores for us loyal and longtime "endgamers" to farm.

    Moved to correct sub forum.

    As each new toon runs through the shard shop, all excess shop tokens have been a great resource for me.

    With TB, I have been using up a lot of low lvl gear and ability materials, but I have too agree as I am running out of places to put them and still have 1000s it would be nice to have a conversion to something more useful.

    Put all your complaints and frustrations aside for a moment, pretend you were running the CG business strategy department. Magically everything you have problems with playing this game suddenly make a lot of business sense! $$ may not solve all your problems in life and in leisure but it sure makes a lot of them go away.

    Okay, I'm going to bring you a box of 400 lego pieces to your house every day for the rest of eternity. You can't sell those lego pieces and you have to leave them where they are. No moving them around or building things with them for your convenience. But only once per week can you remove only 5 pieces of those lego pieces (like getting a new character). Then we'll see how they add up and become annoying.

    Now let's apply that hypothetical example to my non-existent "personage/avatar/character" living in the SWGOH universe. Why would anyone need or want 2,000+ of any sort of gear? It's just adding up into heaps in my non-existent house out there where all my character wants to do is play at the holotable with his buddies every Tuesday night. But he is poor and isn't able to compete with the meta. On top of that his non-existent space wife (a super hot Twi'lek) keeps nagging him about the house being covered in mk l and mk ll gear pieces! And he just gets so frustrated that he can't ever sell his various gear pieces for credits that he sleeps on every night when he goes to bed. Have you ever slept on a bed with your wife covered in legos? It wouldn't make creating a family a very fun thing to do. My character is going insane in that galaxy far, far away! He prays every night to the force that the CG/EA Gods would answer his prayers and open up a merchant shop down the street on Naboo so that he sell his gear for credits and take his wife up to level 85.

    Quick inquery, are you the non-existent super hot twi'lek space wife who keeps nagging your character in this story?
    I agree that having an excess of something can have a negative effect, however there is no negative effect from having excesses of certain items ingame. It's as simple as that.
    Obviously if all those items were exchangible for (at the moment) more usefull items it would speed up progression, but i grew to love the excesses. You never know if/when an excess turns into a shortage (yes, i'm looking at you mk3 carbanti's).
    Having "too" much of a certain item isn't a problem, it's 1 less thing to worry about. That, and it prevents people from using/wasting items that are potentially very usefull later on. I wish more people would appreciate a wonderfull excess instead of complaining about having too much of something.
