GS's Ridiculously priced gear (I've done the math, you will want to see this.)

So, let's do some math.
GS at level 67 with Gear VIII - one slot requires 50 MK3 purple Czerca stun cuff salvage pieces - 50!!!
At a bargain price of only 10 battle energy and ~15% drop rate (being generous here, it's more like 10%) how long would one take to get MK3 Czerca stun cuffs?
333 pulls, at 6 min per 1 energy and 60 minutes per pull, you'd need a whooping 13.8 DAYS to get a gear that gives you a grand total of 250 health.
Most characters hit at about 2,000-4,000 so 13.8 days to sustain maybe 8% but usually around 2.5% more damage???
(Didn't take into account crystal refreshes but for FTP its negligible. We are still talking about one character's one slot.)
Anybody see anything wrong with that picture?

PS Recalculated for 6 min in original post... I really need to stop spending. Lol
There has to be some adjustment made. Most people complain about nurfing/buffing... How about making gear more (much more) accessible... Or at least reasonable.
Start now and you'll be fine for when you hit 70. It's worth it
Also.it doesn't just give you 250 health. It's the final piece for gear lev 9 when you hit 70. That upgrade is why GS is so good right now. When the cap rises, he won't be quite as great
Ok, so it took 5 refreshes per day for 4.6 days with grand total 1,380 crystals... Or in other words $13.80 cents for 1 piece of equipment... That will lead to more equipment... We are not even talking about 1,000,000 XP (~$10) that is required for last star or >125,000 XP per level of upgrade 68, 69, etc.
He's fast, calls an assist every other turn, gives himself offense up, and gets turn meter on crit. Put him w Sid and Poggle and he's beast mode.
Exactly was my point about denurfung Poe (money that went into upgrades...)
I really should have done the math before I started but I couldn't see the gear/requirements needed. I hope newbies see this and think twice about "investing" money (specifically)... Time is fine.
21 spins 2 gears (bought a refresh for 100)... 15% my butt...
Hey Shawn. See your posts a lot and agree with you a lot. A side advice question if I may. Looking for an alt 4th assist caller. I run Sid L, GS, 86, Lumi, Poe. No issues w getting #1 ever, but obv going to put QGJ in for either Lumi or Poe, probably Poggle too. We'll see. However, I want a back burner 4th assist in the works just in case. Which leaves Biggs, Tuskan Raider, and 5s. Got any of them at 7 maxed?
Ha, typed all that then the choice was obvious. Biggs 7* in 11 days, w crit boost and 100% turn meter when critted? Going that route. Unless you've got a compelling reason for someone else? Not a fan of the speed of Biggs, but hey, it's only a backup I'm looking for
He's a beast, an absolute beast. Put him with Poggle and you've got a monster on your hands.. lvl 70 max gear, 6,100 power... not many toons in that range.
There's a reason you see three droids, Poggle and GS together..
