What economy changes?

The State of the Galaxy post says

We’ve already mentioned some bigger changes coming to the economy


Well, what economy changes? I don't remember any posts about changes to the economy.

    I'm a bit confused, the post says there's no value change in terms of shard shop currency, but it doesn't read like that to me:

    Accelerated-Farm Characters keep their conversion the same (1 Shard > 15 SSC)
    +
    All Shard Shop Store items will cost twice as much to match this doubled income.

    So, for example we exchange arena currency for shards daily. That gives same amount of shard shop currency , but the cost is doubled. How is this not a %50 loss?



    You'll get 10 shards instead of 5 from arena store characters. So you'll get twice the shard shop currency. But it costs twice as much to buy a stun gun. So it's a wash for those that have the stores farmed by will help new players get the shard shop currency faster.

    Stun guns and stun cuffs and golden eyes need to be cheaper and easier to obtain.

    If legendaries now require relic 3 and galactic legends now require relics 3, 5, 6 and 7.... and that may be on a character with no real good use in game, then the lower than kyrotech needs to be plentiful.

    Leave gear 12+ and finisher pieces the way they are. All the gear it takes to get to gear 12 needs to be plentiful.

    Id also say og gear 12 should be easier to get than current.... but id be ok with no change there.

    Then getting to gear 12 would be easier and getting to 13 would be the focus. Relic levels would then be a trade off for taking lesser used to gear 12 or often uses to r5.... as it should be


    Stun cuffs are easy.

    Stun guns too, provided you have finished your get1 farms and check the get and shard stores 4x daily every single day. I have two GLs and still have over 1700 stun gun salvage.


    There's the problem for newer players. You get guns from shard shop and get store but new players have little to no shard shop currency and have 4 characters that take 6 mo each (all of which are important to have) to farm from get store before they can start utilizing the shop for gear.

    Add to that the fact that they have more characters that need the gear and stars to reach end game content and you start to see the problem. Now, I'm not saying you should be able to beat end game content instantly but it shouldn't take multiple years to get there.

    And they need to address this so that new players will actually join and play the game.


    My alt is 2m GP f2p. Not new, but certainly not old. And I've banked over 800 stun guns.


    My alt account is about 6 mo old and just over level 85. I am farming hoda in get store but occasionally buy a stun gun. I have about a dozen 7 star characters but that only gets you maybe a few hundred shard shop currency month.

    I believe you that it is possible to build up 800 stun guns but it likely takes quite a bit of time to do so.

    And I am aware that it is possible to farm stun guns faster from th ef get store. However, skipping hoda, wampa, malak, and gas, is a rather large trade off. And even 800 stun guns saved up is only enough for about two or three characters.

    You can put off farming characters from the get store for awhile but not long enough to gear the dozens of characters needed to build a decent roster.

    You also didn't mention the age of your alt account so it isn't really conclusive evidence to the speed at which you get stun guns. I could sit on my alt account for 6 more months and not gear anything and farm nothing but stun guns and build up s stash but that doesn't show how it works for the average player.


    The average player isn't very good at gitting gud.
  • Moving crystals to gac is an awful idea, I absolutely cannot stand gac how is that fair to rip away my crystal income and put it in the absolutely most boring repetitive, not even remotely fun part of the game. I know I'm not the only person who doesn't participate in gac. Leave well enough alone, if this were to happen there would be zero reason for me or others that don't participate in gac, to spend or even play this game. I do enjoy the game or I wouldn't still be playing.
