Some quick Ki Mundi math...
So this hasn't really been brought up since we have had DS TB every time instead of rotating between LS and DS, but with CG reducing shard output on special missions from 2 to 1, if you are in a guild that can average 20 shards per TB (which I would say is an above average guild); it will take you 16 months to 7 star Ki Adi Mundi.
I get this is supposed to be end game content but he will be completely out of the meta and useless by the time you 7 star him. I realize his kit isn't even out yet but go and look at the most OP toon released 16 months ago and see how relevant they are today.
And I think that is a good baseline, yes if you are in super whale guild you can get him in 6 months, but if your guild can only muster 10 shards, you are looking at 2.5 years.

6 Month farms seem to be the norm lately, we’ll adjust to it
That's if you are in a guild that 50/50 the SM, that isn't realistic in the slightest for 98% of players.
OP pointed out a 16 month farm schedule, I’ll add that it’s more for guilds that aren’t ready for the mission and have to farm relics/gear but I digress. If missions rewarded 2 instead of 1 it’d be 8 months, which would be on par enough with your 6 that it could be better debated.
Again, the absolute best at 50/50 is 6 months, and that's if you 50/50 from week one, you guys may be in super high tier guilds, but even at 35/50 which would be a very high GP guild, it's 1 year to 7 star.
I have no idea why you are defending the move from 2 shard rewards to 1, unless you are just CG homers or CG employees with alt accounts, I don't post here much so I don't know who is who.
Im not sure to which toon you are refering as ki adi isnt in the game yet.
However catering somewhat towards whales is to be expected. If two people asked you to do a job and one offers to pay $/£ 200 and the other offers to pay you $/£ 5000, then with no other external factors you would pick the one with most gain for yourself.
Yeah, everyone that doesn't agree with you is cg employee. That's established. Soon we'll get our badges too so peeps don't get confused.
I'm not in a super high tier guild, merely unlocked Wat. First batch of 7* Wats arrived in the last tb afaik. Relevance of a toon is also relevant to how widely distributed it is. Everyone is on the same boat.
If your guild values this character, you can make a guild policy (softly or hardly) to complete their sm teams gradually. We had such a soft rule where we encouraged peeps to complete their bugs, it paid off.
Had completely forgotten about this. Because this timeline is not specific to KAM. It applies to ROLO, IPD and Wat from now on too.
Going back to two shards per mission would certainly be welcome.
This is a logically fallacious argument. The Developers are doing their job whether they get paid or not. The game attracted whales based on well balanced game play. to begin skewing the game towards the perception of what the big spenders would want undermines the original attraction of the entire player base. deciding to take a job based on the pay is an entirely different proposition and not relevant to game development.
And my post wasn't meant to attack those who are in Very solid guilds, with incredibly focused rosters, that is very hard to achieve and I apploud you.
Maybe I'm still holding out hope that is was switched to 1 because there was no rotation for DS Geo TB and they didn't want people getting Wat too quick with 2 TBs a month and it will be switched back again now that there is a rotation, but knowing CGs track record, I don't have a ton of hope.
Not necessarily, but you contradicted him-as it seems-only for the purpose of contradicting him. So you're either suck at math, or you're a CG employee.
Or you suck at reading not undestanding my message and assumed it was directly contradictory.
That might line up then , maybe they’ll leave hoth rewards at 1 shard now because of the availability elsewhere. And then 2 shards for the geo battle—> but leaving wat at 1 shard until the light side comes out so you can’t get too far ahead of ki adi
Yeah, I’m not against getting as many KAM shards as possible but if we get 50 a month in best case, then it shouldn’t be shocking that we are getting another slow farm
