That is only one interpretation.
Arena - 2000 arena tokens = 1 million credits OR 300 shards. Given the choice between 5 million or 1 full stun gun/stun cuff, it's not obvious that 5 million is always better. Conclusion: player option, take whatever you need more.
Galactic War: This nets us a maximum of 225 shards a day (or 228 if you have maxed ships)
Guild Store: 660 tokens = 2 salvages OR 124 shards (enough for 4 salvages). It seems obvious that you should convert all guild currency into shards now instead of buying gear with it.
Bronzium + GW rewards: This is obviously good, so can't really argue about anything.
Fleet store: If you want to buy gear through the fleet store, prices have gone up by quite a bit, but I don't really know anyone who used these tokens for gear other than that they had no other option. You can still convert at the same rate as for Galactic War, a potential maximum of 342 shards a day (if you have maxed ships).
All in all, it's good to steer players away from using this currency for gear, as there are many ships and characters here people should be farming, as well as a near infinite amount of zetas that are needed.
The argument that people can't buy gear without 7-star characters seems a little strange to me. I had a 7-star character at around the time I unlocked the fleet store. It certainly would be unadvisable to use your fleet tokens for gear at that stage of the game anyway.
All in all I think most people are going to come out ahead, and with more options.

All in all, gear in the fleet store was a BAD idea. You have so much more to buy from this shop (Ship/Toon shard, ZETAS) that it was a waste to spend credits for gear.
