The Problem with Stun Guns & Cuffs

Dear Devs,
How many players have quit (stopped giving you money) due to the ridiculous drop rate of stun cuffs and stun guns? The rebel and/or light side imbalance is nothing compared to the soul crushing grind of farming these up! Either increase the drop rate or add them to Plo Koon's challenges.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Now raid gear like Furnaces, Nubians, Droid Callers... This is the real deal. I've been waiting for a Droid Caller for about month and a half now.
That also is garbage, but how do you gear up teams to be able to raid if you can't get the gear to drop?
The gear grind has to be THE MOST annoying thing about this game, second is the slow energy recharge. (Cept they are dumb to realize fixing one of those will fix both.)
Aren't those also obtained via lvl 9 light / dark side battles? Which would bring me back to my point of drop rates.
Have A 100% drop rate then maybe everyone would be a lil happier
No. There is a grind for a reason. Plenty of people spend tons of cash farming this gear. Really wouldn't appreciate handing out gear for free.
Ya, just choose whichever method you think is better
That sounds pretty good, but maybe it should require a special sim ticket or something otherwise people would complain about how much cheaper farming gear is through energy than getting it in shipments
SWGOH is number 8 on the top grossing games for Android. A large part of why is because we need to buy gear.
It is what it is.
100% drop rate on all modes seems excessive, how about 100% drop rate on hard modes only? And increase normal drop rate by 50%? That way you're guaranteed at least 3 a day.
Impossible for them to do it. If all stuffs become easy, then where the $$$ come from?
Exclusive chars? No.. they're not exclusive, not game-changing. I guess it come from gear.. crystals.
The only time I spend real money on this game is to get shards for characters I want to play, because I don't want to wait, that's a much better method.
I agree with this as well, some characters are so much harder to gear than others.
The mod drops are mostly dropping almost worthless mods that would cost 500k to level up if you were ignorant enough to do that.
It is demoralizing to spend a couple energy refreshes and sometimes get only 2 cuffs.
The gear crunch is definitely a bit broken yes, but it should still be challenging to level up gear.
LOL.... They're not really any good unless they are well geared.... Unless you're still relatively low level
And that's backwards.
120k+ a DAY... I'll let that sink in for a second...
Seriously, that is the average YEARLY income for a solid dev. I'm sure they cover their yearly overhead in a month... considering that it becomes all the more painfully obvious there is no QA team working at CG.
I think they could afford be a little more generous, a little less greedy. A slight increase to the drop rate isn't going to crush their earnings.
Well if gearing up people quicker meant I could have a bigger roster with characters I want to play instead, 'have' to play (Rebels and Resistance). I'd probably spend more money on this game, and I'm sure I'm not the only one that'd have more incentive to spend money if this were the case.
My money is spend on gear. Shards also, but not so much as gear. Same like u, bcause i don't wanna wait. Refill energy and long farm with ridiculous drop rate are boring.
What we're gonna do?
You can't see gear, it's arbitrary behind the scenes stats. The real money maker is getting people new characters something they can see & 'feel'! That's where the money is at! This gear grind only frustrates people.
I don't know, making one person unhappy to make countless others happy seems worth it to me.
