The future of shard farming?

With the release of new toons arriving in hard mode battles and cantina battles and the frequency of old toons being removed from extra nodes what are the odds that the devs will have to find a new shard farming tactic? I doubt that they will completely remove a previously existing toon that could only be found in hard mode/cantina battles for the sake of new players. However since no toons/ships will ever be added to the various shops like galactic war, squad arena, etc either old toons will eventually be removed outright to make room for new ones to prevent players from taking advantage of winning multiple shards from one battle (kuiil and tie bomber for example) or something else will happen to prevent players from getting more for less.

    Double character nodes are awesome for new players, and have no effect for older players with big rosters, so I hope they don't change that.

    You would think they won't as they want to make it easier to new people invested in their game, but with CG one never knows (specially after that new requirement for Proving Grounds).
  • shard shop currency is always nice with a node that has an old character and a new character on it
  • Eventually you may triple character nodes. I remember when they put unmasked Kylo and his ship on the same node. We (my guild at the time) all thought it was a mistake! I think back then ship nodes were rare or didn't exist maybe...
  • LS, DS, fleet hard nodes, plus cantina have 162 spots. Double toon those and you have 364 spots. It’ll fill up eventually, but we don’t have to worry about it for bit at least.

    Ssshhhh, don't tell CG that we like that, or they remove it/try to monetise it!


    Hypertoon bundle incoming to be able to have 2 toons on the same node.
  • I'm sure they are fine with the way they are releasing characters now. If you do a couple refreshes on nodes/refresh cantina and fleet to farm everything it's impossible to build up any meaningful crystal hoard due to the manner in which they've released the characters close together and doubled and tripled up on locations for new farms. As far as player attrition with people quitting the game it doesn't help; however.
