I'm basically putting this game into maintenance mode for the next 6 months because I need about 250 omega mats and there is no way to expedite that amount of imbalance. I have plenty of zeta mats, plenty of purple mats, enough credits and enough gear. My game progression as a top end mid level spender is walled by about 5 Bounty Hunters and 5 Scoundrels worth of omegas. Plus Maybe 15 other abilities that really deserve the omega.
The challenges should be updated. A small uptick in credits and carbs would be nice but most importantly the omega challenge should drop 1 to 3 per attempt.

But now, that it has been added, i don't. I think it's just fine as it is. Buying the occasional packs, buying it from weekly store, refreshing omega battles, all these make it far less of a crunch now.
The problem is you can only expedite 10 a week through those purchases. They need to add a huge influx to the game. I'm short 250 to 400 omegas on toons that are already geared and being used for TW. I'm basically guaranteed to auto pilot until Christmas. I don't care if they put out a 1 time $50 50 omega pack or something. As is goes right now there is no way to force this through. I would like at least 50 so I can Start my BH for the Chewie event. But I would also like to do my Scoundrel team.
Pick and choose where you put them, that’s the only way. Do you ‘need’ both teams right now? Probably not...
Just manage your omegas better, and buy them with crystals when the packs are available.
I am assuming you haven't started work on Bossk Embo Aurra Jango Mission Zaalbar VC Qi'ra YH L3 T3 and all of the other new toons
And actually I am working on Bossk, Embo, VC, Nest etc. I just don't expect to go from 0-100% overnight because I chose to work on 5-10 toons simultaneously.
"All the other new toons"? Sure, depends when you make the cutoff. I have worked on Bossk, Qi'ra, and all the KOTOR, but none of those other ones. There is no need to do so yet. An omega on a g8 character doesn't do a whole lot in most instances.
I'm not stuck on G8 right now, or anything less than g12= which is expected. I am however stuck on omega mats for all of the new content.
This sounds like a "you" problem, not a "game" problem. I have 36 zeta mats and 60 omega mats, all reserved for Newie without a thought of using them for anyone else.
Awfully tempting to click those green crosses on other characters though.
While I don't fully agree with OP, and tend to side with the "it's a resource management game" folks, I wouldn't say this is a black and white you or game issue. I'd probably rephrase the OP and say that at a certain point the bottleneck shifts from zetas back to omegas. I almost always have more zeta mats than omega mats and it makes me very picky about who gets them.
Currently:
It would be nice to increase the flow of omegas a bit to ease this bottleneck. I don't really expect it to happen though.
For sure. I understand the bottleneck has moved for a lot of players. But it's no different than the Pit Gear bottleneck that makes even less sense. Perhaps I've just come to terms with both issues, and plan my roster moves around them.
It was just a very odd place in the game to add a severe crunch and mild paywall. It makes sense for new content to be scarce. These became scarce Ex Post Facto.
You lost me here. It is not possible, without real money, to farm enough gear to take a char to g12 every week. And even then, you'd have to hit the max refresh cost every day.
Let’s say you pull in 1000 crystals a day, from both arenas, gw, daily rewards ect… You use half of them to farm shards. That means you get 3,500 crystals to help get by gear bottle necks. You have 2 Sith raids, 2 tank raids and 3 rancors. You also get gear from daily challenges, you get gear from TB and TW. You get gear from special events. You probably have mountains of gear from shard farming to bring each toon directly to G8. That means you only need to craft 24 pieces of gear a week to get a toon to g12. Most of those you will have a large stockpile of because different gear is farmed at different paces. For each toon you will probably only be bottle necked 10 of those 24 pieces. By the time you take this all into account it is fairly easy to g12 1 toon each week. This is actually how I plan my gear you take 1 toon a week and g12 them/g11 if you are waiting on shards. Since mid August I did Bastilla, then Enfys, then IG-88, then L3, then VC, then Bossk, then Dengar, and soon to be Cad. Along the way I was able to shuffle a few toons along as well like Big-z to g10 and work was started on Mission, T3, Jango and Qi’ra. I think getting 1 toon g12 each week is an understatement.
