Credits, guild tokens, arena tokens and galactic war tokens have all become meaningless for all older players.
The cantina, shard and guild event stores are the only stores with anything meaningful.
The shear number of stores and currencies is a classic sign of a badly managed in game economy. Each new mode seems to brings it’s own currency and often store too, which is another bad sign.
It could be that this mess is the economy they are trying to do something with. Which they absolutely should - problem is it’s generally impossible or nigh on so at this stage in the lifecycle.
If they are planning more game modes though this may well be needed in advance of those.
I believe in the pod cast this was stated to be more about the new players, so what some older players consider meaningless, may not be #1 priority. if that is their focus, they are more likely to dig in further and bring more stuff into the shard shop, as that is the unifying factor for all stores (that have shards), and maybe lock more stores.
If thats true, I really really hope they bring a mechanic that makes converting those currencies easier, because going through all the stores and buying every item so you can convert them is really tedious and needs work.
