In order to make ally points more useful, I had an idea for an ally point shop. The items would still be the items currently available in the bronzium data cards, but would be priced based on the current odds of receiving that in a card.
It would be beneficial to older players, as they could target certain gear/characters they still need, as well as new players to help them through specific gear crunches.
For example, I saw a reddit post where someone tracked drops from 2000 bronzium pulls, in which they got 6 full 2* characters. There are 7 different 2* characters that could possibly drop from a bronzium. So in this new store, you could buy a 2* character for 583k ally points (see math below).
250 AP / ([6 drops / 2000 cards] / 7 characters)
This seems like a lot of points, but it is in-line with current odds, so there wouldn't need to be any change to the in-game economy.

The best gear I got was a full Mk II Bacta gel.
A 2* character for 583,000, no thanks.
