Is Anybody Going to Buy This?

Is this supposed to be a joke? Yea i get that its the whole gear for both pieces, but who wants to pay extra for stuff we already have 1000's of. Its cool more gear slots were added to shipments, but at least put something that makes sense, or is that too much to ask.
The Mk 9 Data pad salvage, we already get for free, through challenges. I currently have 1600 for example because we will never use them fast enough. The prototype that usually costs 750 for 50 of them is what we need, not the two together. The same thing with the Mk 7 Generator. The only piece people need regularly is the Generator salvage, which is normally 1250. The rest of the gear in the generator is just a waste to buy since we also get those for free (i currently have over 2000 for all 3 of the other purples in this gear).
My suggestion is to just get rid of the full pieces and separate everything. Go back to the 750 and 1250 prices for the individual pieces. Nobody wants to buy stuff they already have.

And I really hope they introduced those without thinking about it, and remove them again fast!
Catch up? By increasing the price? I'm not discouraging anyone from buying, but it makes zero sense to me to increase the prices. The game went from low 20s on the App Store in purchase to high 40s and the solution is increased prices? That seems like it would have the opposite effect. Drop the prices and make them more accessible. It would help people really catch up and bring in significantly more money. I'm really having a hard time wrapping my head around this one.
To even getting to the points where you actually need those, you will have more than enough of those items that some of us has thousands of, remember that there's a reason why we have so many and it's definitely not micromanagement, even my totally f2p alt account is swimming in those
What prices were increased? Everything thats poped up for me has the same price as before.
If ppl can't take the time to view who needs what and instead just click and buy...then that's on them. A fool and his money are soon parted.
We lost the ability to sell excess gear bcuz of so many conplaints about "accidentally" selling the wrong thing.
If they just started, and need to catch up then the gold stuff is still predatory. There is no reason to buy those. You will have part of them flowing in by the dozens at absolutely no cost from challenges.
There is no possible method to farm the non challenge part of the gold gear as fast as you will get the free part. And by the time you actually need gold pieces you will have accumulated probably hundreds of the challenge golds.
There are only two possible reasons for those. Russian oligarchs who plans on spending $80,000 to max gear everyone instantly, and foolish people who don't realize they are being taken advantage of.
Wait.. what is that on the left? u're kidding right? i have like 2000 salvage of them. I just need the partial part, which i think around 750 full craft.
And on the right, that merr-sonn generator is usually around 1250/1400 right? Who needs them full part, the other pieces is easy to find.
Seriously? i think april mop already passed.. that is really a bad joke guys
Wait till you see the MK6 Fusion Furnace for 3500 crystals. I mentioned it here, Reddit and on the RSG Live steam, no one seemed to bat an eyelash, now everyone is starting to see it.
Sure, but the gear in question here is not needed until G11 which the vast majority of people who only started in the last few months won't be using until they have hundreds if not thousands of the other stuff laying around. The only reasons I see for putting gear like this in shipments is to make a fast track avenue for new whales or whoever did this does not have a good practical grasp of the current state of the game.
I do like some of the other options they've added like 25 MK VI thermal detonators and the like.
The mk VI requires three pieces that need 50 salvage. The shield generator is the full piece instead of the salvage for one component that cost 1250 i believe. Im not seeing the issue...
The issue is that 2/3 of those 50 piece items are completely worthless, and are acquired accidentally by the hundreds (thousands for many). They can charge whatever they want, but it's a buyer beware situation on our end. It's like someone trying to sell you saltwater and sand at the beach.
... I will. However this post is a good warning to others who aren't aware there are totally blatant money pits that serve no purpose other than to scam people.
They didnt raise prices.... The gave you more options.
