LOL, anyone who thinks for one second that the mk8 biotech salvage should be removed is deluding themselves and presuming way to much about building squads.
And furthermore, those mk8 ARE endgame gear, they are required across multiple characters and they are required to build g12 and g12+ gear. They are the new mk3 carbanti, get used to it.
Having a few hundred or a thousand is nice, for now. .. . Start building your roster, see how long those really last.
3 mil gp and I have 2058 of those mk8 and they only keep climbing. Definitely need to be removed from raid drops as I get more than is needed from challenges.

Thanks, I do feel better. Just gotta let it out sometime. Goosefraba. Any dev's wanna chime that be great. On this topic and why it be too difficult to add to more toons to stores that are 100% farmed out. Also unacceptable
Left hand holds item of neglible value
Right hand holds higher value commodity
1: avoid giving right hand (not saturating the demand)
2: left hand gives a commodity free/cheap which elevates the need for right hand commodity - “nice lamps you got there, shame they only work with the special batteries I have on sale over here”
It’s not rocket science, but obviously a lot of us are quite impressionable
Ur kidding, right?
The only way you could need those is if you've missed daily challenges.They need to be removed as well
False, I never miss a challenge and I've also run out. Once you get more toons geared up, you will wish you had more......
Checked my .gg, I need 101 gold balls, and that's not counting the ones needed as part of g11 finishing pieces
Been playing since Day 1 - I have a fully matured roster - most toons 7* and geared up - I have 1678 pieces of these to the 44 pieces of the component. THEY CAN GO.

We all know lots of eyeballs are needed. How tho do you not earn the salvage at a much faster rate than the prototypes, unless you're spending crystals to buy them.
I buy the mk 8 implant prototype anytime I see it in guild or shard shop. I currently have 900 salvage and 30 prototype.
If you're running low on salvage, its only if you're spending crystals to buy prototypes.. if so just spend crystal to buy salvage as well, or fully crafted pieces. The rest of us want that out of our raid loot pool.
I'm all for removing common gear/salvage that most people has thousands of. Maybe it's too difficult for the Devs to code newer rewards to replace them?
What about creating a new non-OP Toon (or 2) that actually uses all those pieces? Certain pieces cause everyone headaches because of the "gear crunch". They could structure it that these new Toons never use those "gear crunch" pieces, but instead eat up all those that almost no one else uses?
Wouldn't that be easier to implement?
When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

For real, some "freebie" toons in terms of gear. Sounds like a GREAT place for some much needed Generic toons, like, oh, I don't know, Rebel Y-Wing Pilot, Imperial Tie Bomber Pilot, FO tie bomber pilot, Generic Geonosian bug # 5, b1 generic droid, Tusken sharpshooter, and Tusken sand ambusher dude.
Off the top of my head.
Problem is each piece of gear adds various stats. Theyd have to code new higher level gear pieces that give the stats we want that would use up a bunch of the underused gear pieces as parts to make up a new greater gear piece

^This. If you need those salvages, buy them as well. But you're in that 0.5% (or maybe 2% or 3%) of players who have this problem. But a vast majority of us would like these gear pieces to be removed.
Is there some gear piece I've missed that requires the challenge gear eyeball and not the other eyeball? Because if not, I don't see how you can be running out. You get a bunch for free three times a week, the other you have to farm or buy. So how on earth are you running out of the free one? You'd have to be buying so many of the other one that you burn through all your free ones too, which means...maybe slow down on buying those?
With that said I only want challenge gear removed if it's replaced by something useful. If it just gets removed, that doesn't help.
Didn't they say they reverted the raid reward changes because the changes were meant to be two-fold, and that once they add the new gear to the heroic sith raid that they would remove the challenge gear again and everything would make sense or something?
They purposefully nerfed herioc raid drops while buffing lower tier drops. People complained and they said the easiest thing to do was revert the changes, giving back herioc the amazing drops and putting t1-6 drops back to useless and stated that was their only option. Then somehow complaints about the t1-6 drops no longer were a priority.
I think they made the lower tiers worse under the new system and scrapped it for heroic because of complaints. So everyone except heroic guilds are suffering from those updates they implemented.

I have bought some of the 25 for 375 on the gold pieces, but not very many. I also have a very developed roster, and place highly in all raids regularly. So I have been able to use my salvage for those pieces at a fairly high rate. I'm currently sitting on 8/60 on the challenge gear for gold balls, and I have bought the 25 for 375 maybe once in the past 4 months.

3.4M GP, 47 g12 and 35g11 intense and highly committed player. Never miss a refresh or a challenge.
I somehow managed to empty my eyeball challenge gear stash. Before the non challenge one.
More of my guildmates are reaching this point.
Never missed a single challenge but I noticed last night I only have 1200 mk 8 gold balls while a lot of toons I'm working on need 2 to 3 of these for the next gear. I have 1200 of these and I feel like I'm about to run out of these pretty soon now that I'm starting to use 375 crystals for 25 gold balls
I know people are still unhappy with the current drops from raid having challenge gear. Couldn’t we just remove challenge gear and make the other drops have 3-5 more? Also Very Very Very pleased to hear that mod management is finally happening .

So many characters require them that you buy the 25 components for 375 crystals. They will be needed for G12+ pieces too

Lol ok
