Mega Thread (Counters for 7 STAR GS) - Ideas welcome! - Free 7 star GS???

Hello , so if like me you decided not to invest in GS or spend thousands of dollars preparing for this event fear not! According to new figures only about 6,000 people acquired GS, which is over 50% less then those who achieved Malak first time around and its pretty clear it was not because of the difficulty level but purely because people decided to pay their mortgages and bills and feed their family's instead which is admirable.
You will be happy to learn then that of those approx. 6000 people only about 100 achieved a 7 star GS by hording guild currency. So while right now GS 7 STAR is all but invincible, the 5 star GS are beatable and the chances of you coming up against a 7 STAR GEAR 13 R7 GS is slim to none.
So for the next 3 months we can all enjoy farming for free the necessary requirements for unlocking GS and saving our precious guild currency so we can all have shiny new GS 7 Stars at the very same time as those currently living in cardboard boxes and kicking around coke cans in despair. I feel bad for those people, but i quickly got over that and will enjoy meeting those players in arena in 3 months with my own completely free 7 Star GS.
However if you are unlucky enough to face a 7 STAR GS in your arena or GAC, do we have any viable alternatives for these players?
Ideas welcome!

So your saying 6000 people already had the required teams and relics free to play? I find that even more amusing. 3 months 4 months - the point is in a matter of months hell be back. CG need to bundle their relics packs with something.
WHY do people think the number that 7* after 2 days (which required significant store refreshes) is in any way relevant?
What? I didn't say that looking for counters wasn't relevant. My point was that it means nothing that only 100 people 7* in the first two days. The number that have him 7* after a week will be relevant, but the 100 number only tells you that there are very few people crazy enough to throw crystals down the toilet to refresh the store just to 7* him immediately.
The number that 7* after 2 days doesn't tell you much of anything about the number of people that have the GET saved. Most of the people that do have the GET saved aren't going to refresh the store. They will 7* him in a week, not in a few hours. So "hey, don't feel bad, only 100 people have him 7*!" is not a relevant or helpful number yet.
The point you seem to be missing is that you have no idea how many of the 6000 people have enough GET1 on hand to 7* GAS immediately, but are not spending crystals refreshing the store. After a week, there will be a clearer number of how 7* came out of this event.
Blowing crystals to refresh the store to have GAS 7* in 2 days instead of 6 or 7, if you are not already a heavy spender, is emblematic of the resource management skills that prevent people from participating in new events without spending loads of cash.
I consider wasting crystals on store refreshes to be profoundly stupid.
Of this i am certain!
Perhaps if you had the exact amount of guild currency required for a 7 star GS unlock right now sitting there in your guild store looking at you, legs akimbo. You would not be so quick to tell us all what a model player you are hmm?
I had enough for a 6 star. Got it done today.
If I had enough for a 7 star, no way would I have rushed it. Because I don't waste my resources, which is why I then have them later when I need them.
not even if you had 4 ZETA's ready to go, and a 6 DOT MOD set born to be warn by GS, and a 501st team pumped, primed and ready for total and utter arena domination? not even then?
i smell a lot of **** in the air tonight.
Oh no, I'm just a model hoarder. Hoarders don't spend crystals unless they need to. I have to finish farming one more piece before I can take him to relic anything so another day or two doesn't hurt me. I've seen the videos of 5 stas GAS being destroyed.
Shrug. I already take first in arena every day. But I also manage my resources.
Forgive me if I don't shake hands.
Fair enough, but you will probably have to deal with months (3-5 is my guess) of facing GSky in arena at 7*. They will probably give the whales at least 6 months or more to play with him before the event returns. And just because someone didn’t hoard the almost 70k needed doesn’t necessarily mean they had nothing. I had 50k hoarded, so I’ll max him in 4 weeks.
And just because some people dropped several hundred on him doesn’t mean everyone did. There was only one panic farm character who is very useful. All the other required characters are very good, commonly used characters. Our guild has been encouraging us to beef up the Padmé team for TW for quite a while.
You are right that he is less commonly held, and we have a bit of a buffer before many people who got him can max him. However, your exaggeration of the situation mixed with your condescending attitude towards those people you imagine going broke getting him really sounds like a way to mask your jealousy.
I have more then 4 zetas ready to go. I have plenty of great mods (including 6 dots) that he would like. I'm 90 shards away from 7 star and still have over 120k GET1 sitting in my stash. I haven't refreshed the store once. Some people can exercise self-control.
I'm your huckleberry!
So you expect that a week from now there will no more 7* GAS on .gg than there are today?
It always comes back to bugs with you.
The idea that people wouldn't have the necessary toons available and geared enough with their overall power and usefulness throughout the current state of the game unless having spent loads of money is about as far a stretch as I can conceive here.
I would have been ready for this event easily if I hadn't taken a 3 month break from the game. I was lucky enough to be able to surmount my arena deficits and get back in the swing of things, but doing so cost me the time I would have needed for this event. It's fine. I'll be ready in 3 months whether the event is back or not.
No, I'd say it's far more likely that the majority of the people who got GAS this time around were FTP/guppie/dolphin dedicated, and probably only a few newbie krakens really dipped deep in the wallets on this.
Anyhoo TLDR;
This was probably one of the most easily accesible FTP events I have seen since before CG Carrie took over.
I’m looking at two different players in my GAC round, both will fully maxed GAnakins.
So much for that “slim to none” theory.
