I believe the rewarded era level currency and materials increase with each successive marquee release so that you can keep coming back to upgrade Luke. By the end of the era I think we will be getting rewarded with much more than we are now so that you can go through and upgrade all six marquee characters to era level 65 by the end.
At least I think that's what's going to happen. None of this has info been released in the game though and the vast majority of players don't use these forums so most players out there are very confused by the whole system I think.
I do think the cumulative stacking of rewards through 5 or 6 toons is what gets you to 65 across the board. But, yeah, R10 aside from your first one appears to get gated behind a giant paywall. You HAVE to get era currency (lots of it) to generate the mats for a single R10, though. It all but eliminates the 90% of the player base from getting more than the initial R10.
I think they'd have do themselves a huge service by telling people the first toon or two will likely make most people miserable but it starts to balance out and see movement then. They didn't. Worse than that, it's really poor design. Who introduces an element to the game that makes 90% of players miserable because they can't do anything with it and are literally gated in what they can accomplish?
