I'm writing here because EA replied to an email suggesting I do so,as maybe this can help me to get this suggestion/request to the right person!I absolutely love the game Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, I'm sure I'm not the only player who finds it increasingly frustrating that I never seem to have enough crystals or credits yet I have more sim tickets and useless bits of gear than I'll ever be able to use!One of my Guild members who has played the game for longer than I have, mentioned that you used to be able to sell unwanted gear much the same way you can sell mods.Could I suggest this be something that could be considered as it doesn't make much sense to have so much superfluous materials unless they can be used to acquire more useful items.Here's hoping my suggestion reaches someone who perhaps can change the game play!Yours gratefullyMarc

I'll give you the number 1 reason I object to selling gear. In my early days of the game, I had over 1000 pieces of MK III Carbanti and thought to myself "how on earth will I ever use all of these???" If I had sold those before I discovered swgoh.gg and could figure out how many are actually needed, I would have quit the game. EA doesn't want people quitting the game over careless mistakes.

It was also because at the time when the credit heists would come you would get a credit droid or some such thing that you would then need to go to the sell shop and sell to get the credits awarded from doing the heist. Apparently many people did not realize this and just sat on those droids thinking they had got their rewards from the heists when they really didnt.So with the additional problem of people selling gear they ended up needing, AND the fact that selling gear awarded such a small amount of credits that it was practically useless to sell anything, they just scrapped the whole selling thing.I would love as many others have asked for, the ability to up-convert gear into a higher version of that gear. Unfortunately its been asked for years now and they haven't even commented on it so I really doubt we will ever get this.

All of which are purchasable through shipments and shops? It's fine if they wanted to simplify the game economy, decrease the code footprint and/or reduce time in the game by dropping gear sales and adding the credit heist. In fact, I prefer it this way. But this "to save the players from themselves" argument is pretty hollow. And that's from the point of view of someone who was around and active on the forums when the ability to sell gear was removed.

why can't we sell unwanted gear!!!

We used to be able to, then people sold valuable stuff and they removed it.

They recently commented about this in an interview that they dont think they are bringing it back due to the fact they dont want people to short sightedly sell stuff they may need later.

When we could sell stuff it was laughable amounts, the lvl cap was lower and it helped a little but it wouldn't even be a drop in the bucket right now.

I can see some logic in this, but the gear most likely to be sold, stuff free from the store and in challenges are in abundance!I have thousands of some pieces of gear, same with sim tickets since they started rewarding more each day, anything I'm gonna sell wouldnt take long to reacquire should I need them.

See my above post about that gear, they did comment about it.

And remember there are players that dont have 1000s ot that stuff. There is a huge player base.

Of course they want us to spend money, but having thousands and thousands of some pieces that I dont need is just frustrating, same with sim tickets, i use them every single day yet have over 9000 spare! You can sell unwanted mods, so why not gear? personally I would be more likely to spend actual money on something i was close to completing, if I'd gotten closer to it by selling stuff I keep getting every new day.
