WHY do we even have FLEET energy? Seriously???

All 3 of the most recent ships have been added into regular nodes to farm. Seriously? Like WTF? Why even have FLEET energy if you aren't going to use it for anything other than farming gear? At this point, I wonder who is making the decisions regarding this game. Is it the developers sitting down and discussing how to maintain interest and generate revenue or a room full of monkeys throwing their own crap at a wall full of bad ideas. I've been playing this game for years and pretty much have everything at 7* except for the most recent stuff. And now I can't even farm everything available because the Vulture Droid, Hyena Bomber, BTL-B Y-Wing Starfighter, and now General Hux & the Sith Trooper are now farmable only using regular energy. That is 60 + 100 + 100 + 80 + 80 for a total of 420 regular energy a day farming shards & blueprints. You only get 240 regular energy plus 135 bonus energy a day for a total of 375 total energy a day. I purchase 3 energy refills every day which is an additional 360 energy for a total of 735, if I don't miss any of the bonus energy. So unless I want to spend most of my energy farming all of this new stuff and sacrifice energy for desperately needed gear (which with your crappy drop rates takes forever), I'll have to wait until I finish the ships before I farm the new toons.

But I do want to thank you. Thanks to your absolute ignorance regarding spreading out the farm locations to anything other than regular energy, as of 3 days ago I am no longer buying fleet energy refreshes. The few toons that I am currently trying to gear up only need 1 gear piece that is available using fleet energy. So now instead of slowing depleting my crystals, I am starting to stockpile them again, which means I won't have to waste any money for the foreseeable future on this game. And judging by a lot of the comments I've been seeing on here and other places today, you all need to get your crap together before you totally run this game into the ground with your ridiculous requirements and continual habit of making things harder to get just to make more money. Greedy parasites are going to destroy this game. I love how you all said you were going to help with the gear crunch and then within a couple of months we get slammed with Darth Malak, General Skywalker, Negotiator, & Malevolence basically tying up the most important currency for end game gear for a year or more, depending on the strength of your guild. I've had 3 friends just in the past month, who have been playing this game for about as long as I have quit within the last month or so because the game has become stale and instead of adding something new to the game, you just add some new meta toon with ridiculous requirements.
