As with the gear exchange, these are all valid points and great ideas that would make the game much better. As with the gear exchange that is probably why it will never happen. As a FTP you are a drain on resources as far as EA/Capital are concerned. Star Wars is sufficiently iconic that they can make the game pretty much as hard as they want for FTP and they are never going to drive away enough to make the whales feel lonely. And for the whales these problems are relatively cheap to solve compared to some of the other things they buy, so there isn't enough push back from them to actually get things changed. Even if the devs want to balance the game better there will always be a bean counter standing over their shoulder telling them to leave stuff like this in. And the sad part? The bean counter is almost certainly right.
A gear exchange would of course be nice as well, so we can exchange all those MkIV Droid callers to either MkIII or MkV where they're actually useful. Unfortunately that would take more work and no financial benefit, so it doesn't seem likely.
