Thoughts on (Rumored) Shard Exchange
I’m a fan of the game and enjoying the balance of gameplay/grind/gambling excitement/star wars characters. Wanted to share some thoughts on the art of the possible on the rumored upcoming shard exch...

I believe it won't be a one to one exchange ratio. I.e. you wont just grab 5 extra Lumi shards from GW to convert them to 5 Leia shards at the shop.
I think they'll adjust based on rarity/value, which will open the field to debate and discussion. Ideally, they will adjust the ratios based on supply and demand over time.
A question is whether they do the exhange on the 'buy' side or the 'sell' side. I think that if you follow pattern, all purchases of five shards will cost the same 400 'shard currency'. You'll just get different amounts of shard currency based on which shards you're trading in.
For example:
5 Lumi shards get you 40 'shard currency'
5 Leia shards get you 300 'shard currency'.
Etc.
(Actually maybe they do it on a shard per shard basis, not packs of five.)
As soon as you collect 400 shard currency, you'll be able to buy 5 shards of any character in the shop.
