Possible win-win solution for the gear problem
Im not sure anyone already has posted this idea. My iquestion is why can't we buy a single gear for crystals. Let's say you want stun cuff. In the shop a fully crafted stun cuff costs 1400 crystals. Just divide it by 50 and a single gear costs only 28 crystals. Sounds better? Im sure people would spend more crysrals so the EA/CG dont lose any dollar. Or a single holo projector only 15 crystals. I would buy it. What do you think guys?

True.
I assume you could buy at any time.
I get yoir point but sometimes you need only a few to gear up a toon.
I use these options as well but many times not enough.
It should be a separate shop with a slightly higher price. maybe 25 percent more but every piece is always available. No waiting for it to show up.
That's what Im saying, thanks your additional thoghts.

I do that all the time...
Maybe not all the time, but during like special events once a year or something.
If you choose too, you can buy full stun cuffs for A 15% increase in cost rounded to the nearest 10 or 100.
Example: holos cost 300 in the store, in this special store holos cost 350. Stun cuffs cost 1400, in the store they cost 1600.
Store opens one week a year.
On top of all that, it doesn't solve the gear grind in any way.
It doesn't. My idea is if you just click on the particular gear slot in the character menu you just buy the missing gears and that's it. No need an extra shop added.
I definitely wouldn't pay more for a once a year option to get some salvage gear. That makes no sense.

It eliminates fighting with RNGesus and the Devs still make money off of the crystals.
It wouldn't be difficult. Just add it to the Shop that's alreday there with tabs separating the gear by color. And, have ALL gear available. If it's Raid gear, maybe have it unlockable by lvl, or just have it cost more. This would make a ton of money for the devs. I'm f2p and would probably never/very rarely use it, but I see the benefit.
Okay that makes it slightly less confusing. But I still don't see how it solves the gear grind, especially for those who are FTP.
For example you dont need to wait for weeks for raid gears to be dropped if you are lucky.
It's not a bad idea. Sometimes I have finished farming for the day and only need a couple more. Or I need one or two droid callers or furnaces that I can't farm. I don't always have 1400 crystals on hand, but I do usually have a few hundred available. OR I have crystals saved up to buy the full droid caller but it doesn't show up for a week at a time.
Implementation is a different question. Maybe edit the shop so that when you select the gear, you can choose how many pieces to buy via a slider instead of only the full piece being available?
