The Mark 1 Grek Module Bottleneck

Hello there,

I'm a recently returning player who the advertisement in front of Mandalorian & Grogu completely worked on. I had set down the game years ago and jumped in for a chance to collect and battle with some cool Star Wars characters. 

I may have gotten a bit overly enthusiastic about the idea; buying the Hyperdrive Bundle, a bunch of Lightspeed bundles, the Episode Pass (for Episode I of the New Republic Era), the Episode Pass + (for Episode II of the New Republic Era), as well as the Red, Let's Go bundles 1 and 2 from the shop. I also, because I was excited about unlocking Rotta as my first ever Marquee character unlock, invested in hundreds of dollars of crystals to help get everyone up to 5-Stars so that I could hopefully unlock Rotta and be in a good place moving forward.

All seems well, except for one massive bottleneck - the Mk 1 Grek Module, seems to me to be broken. 

In order to take my R5-D4 from its current Level 25 to the required Level 90 (or even just to level 35, where the Mk. 1 Grek is no longer needed), I would require 12.7K of the pesky little piece. The only problem is, they aren't available at that quantity. There is a cash item in the shop that would sell 500 for $7.50, but it has a purchase limit of 10, which, for $75, wouldn't even get me halfway out of this deficit. 

Because there is currently no way to farm or acquire enough of these modules via crystals or cash, it feels like an unintended economy choke-point left over from the recent progression curve adjustments. Being blocked here means that despite heavy investment into 5-star Era units, players are effectively sidelined from finishing their push for the big beefy Hutt dude.

I admit I am not a very knowledgable player; I'm new to Eras, this is my first time, and I did just kind of jump in and probably spent more than I should to try and get 'on the ball', as it were, but right now I feel like I've kind of been had, and I'm hoping this is just a bug or oversight that can and will be remedied somehow. 

I’m starting this thread hoping for some constructive community engagement and hopefully some visibility or feedback from the developers.

Firstly, are other active or paying players running into this exact same mathematical wall?

Second, is there an upcoming fix or an alternative bridge to this lower-tier material bottleneck so players trying to unlock the Era Champion can actually progress?

Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts and experiences, advice or commiserations. 

Cheers,

Gil
