Mods are the other issue.
A lot more dmg? i'm sorry, but i think you're wrong. a g8 lvl85 toons isn't that much better than a g8 lvl70 toon. It's simply not worth it to lvl them. That's what i consider playing smart, not wasting credits on stuff that makes very little difference. almost all my g9 or higher characters are lvl 85 (old daka and old ben are the exeption, both at lvl80).
Furthermore, winning heroic tank raid and tournaments are far more dependent on time played than the availability of credits.
For tournaments I didn't say anything about that, he said he's winning everything in the game and has tons of credits and I replied back it's impossible. He has tons of credits by "choosing" to not play half the game. He's not winning ships, tank heroic or tournaments. So the only thing he's winning is arena and Rancor.
The limiting part of tank isn't toon shards for the right teams, you will get those before credits, mods and gear. You get toon shards from everything then you need to pay for levels, stars and mods for each and you can't keep up just like gear.
I'm 18-25 rank in my guild for heroic tank, largely due to my Rebels and a bunch of under leveled and geared teams plus the load is not distributed evenly. I use about 25 toons in teams and 10 junk for the raid.
We've done maybe 7ish so far and 2 fails before that. I started in June/July as I believe you already know. A bump up of 20k on heroic teams is huge and yes I can get an average of 4K per toon for an entire attack by leveling them. Say the bottom 30 people are leveling due to credits on a phase and that is an additional 600k. for a heroic raid that's huge since that's all coming from your lower teams and members especially if you are at the cusp.
For tournaments, as well as heroic tank, you need mods and actually you need to move mods around a lot. Being a late shard, I will never be able to win a tournament but a lot of our heavy hitters place top 5 including one that has placed first in all but one. To get every edge, you move your top mods around at 50k per swap per toon and this goes for the same if you need to maximize damage in the raid for either rank or to complete it.
