New Item Idea
I think we need more Credit Heist style events to bring more excitement to the game. Smugglers run was okay but I have a new Idea that I think may help naturally balance the game and get people logging in.
The faction used will be Jawas, keep reading, to collect a new item. In Desert Scavenge, use your jawas to battle battle droids to collect gear tier packs. Desert Scavenge rewards g7, g8 and g9 gear tier packs that allow to to completely skip/fully equip the corresponding gear tier for a toon. This will be a fairly tough event but it will give us something new to work towards. Toons like Dengar and FOST have some pretty ugly gear at specific levels. This would add a strategic element to the use of these items to maximize their utility.
I think after 6 months or so a second similar event Forest Forage could drop the g8, g9, g10 packs. Ewoks squaring off vs the Empire.
In another 6 months drop a Wookies vs Trandoshans/BH for g9, g10, g11 .
These factions are largely useless and these events would bring meaning to their groups. Moreover, I think those new items would add a great strategic element to the game.

Lol no my Jawa are pure trash, so are my ewoks. I just wanted to use the useless factions 2 of which are scavengers/foragers. I think g12 would be too harsh for the sets that drop from the jawa event, it would all depend on the events frequency.
Maybe something simpler, like:
-Five Gear 2 unlocks Tier 1, where the rewards are Gear 2 pieces or salvage.
-Five Gear 3 unlocks Tier 2, where the rewards are Gear 3 pieces or salvage.
-Five Gear 4 unlocks Tier 3, where the rewards are Gear 4 pieces or salvage.
-Five Gear 5 unlocks Tier 4, where the rewards are Gear 5 pieces or salvage.
-Five Gear 6 unlocks Tier 5, where the rewards are Gear 6 pieces or salvage.
-Five Gear 7 unlocks Tier 6, where the rewards are Gear 7 pieces or salvage.
-Five Gear 8 unlocks Tier 7, where the rewards are Gear 8 pieces or salvage.
-Five Gear 9 unlocks Tier 8, where the rewards are Gear 9 pieces or salvage.
-Five Gear 10 unlocks Tier 9, where the rewards are Gear 10 pieces or salvage.
So it's not mandatory to Gear them all the way up, it's up to the player to choose what rewards it's possible to get at their own pace. If it takes you 2 years or 5 years to get a squad up to Gear 9, no biggie. The game is centralized around other factions anyways.

I still like the idea of having gear tier packs though. So maybe for the lower levels you could get pack shards to make a complete pack and at the tougher levels you get complete packs. The technical requirements to build tiers pack would be very light. It wouldn't require the intense amount of testing that new toons and kits require. It would be a low cost item they could implement quickly to make these factions relevant.
You'd be fighting against their monetization scheme. Every full gear piece you win there is one less for you to buy from the store.
Yeah but, Jawa and Ewoks.
Yeah, but free full entire gear sets on the (ir)regular.
Never happen...not as detailed above, anyway.
I was only joking as I am one who spent forever starring those turds (jawas) and just barely 3 starred the mod challenge a week before they announced the change to any teams. So yeah I like the idea of having a event to use the little used toons in, but I don't see that happening as it was said before about gear sets would ruin the monetization strategies for them. But perhaps they could do it as a way to earn salvage pieces for the g7-10 levels. That would be cool. Even if it only ran once a month and they did shared attempts across the different tiers.
CG should hire you. I love the idea.
Ewoks-mods: guarenteed purple/gold mods?
I feel like a full gier teir is way to much.
EA admited that it was a mistake making us farm Jawa’s, rather than letting us farm what we want. I doubt they’ll go back and make them useful again. But IMO people should be compensated for farming them in the first place since they’re now useless.
Obviously it would be worth it, so everyone would gear a useless faction for it. So there are no decisions here.
Good parts of this game are things where you have to make a smart choice.
Just compensate people who invested in Jawa rather than create another use for worthless toons. They were good when the game came out, but now they’re just a waste of resources.
-Rebels, Empire, First Order, and Resistance are primary squads, so they're for and in everything in the game
-Bounty Hunters before the rework, new Toons, and ships, were only cannon fodder
-Ewoks has the AT-ST Event
-Jawas had that Farmer Luke Event and Crit Damage Mod Challenge
-Separatists, Clones, and Jedi has Omega Battles, they are due for more troops and Events though
-Nightsisters has 2 Events
-OId Republic will be a thing soon due to Reven
Droids and Smugglers are a dumping ground for various factions, so that works.
Tuskens and Jawas need some reason for people to spend resources on them, otherwise, why have them in the game?

In my oppinion, every faction should have a real purpose. Likr a rock paper scissors game, but with more tools, like rock paper scissors spock lizard fire... Tuskens should be good against Idunno troopers. Jawas should be good against Resistance etc.
Thats a purpose.
Making them a mandatory farm solely for resource farming, just hinders creativity and variety as you need to get these, instead of actually useful teams.
Maybe Jawas could be responsible for new Toons are that only "Droid" tagged? Their Sandcrawler in Ep 4 was filled with droids.

Seriously? With their three minutes of screen time in one of the movies?
Same here! @Rmaxtpmx "Untinni!"
