Pre craft= severe advantage (raid/guild update didn't fix but made it worse)

I just want to premise what I am about to comment on that I have never called for a nerf, or seen any issue in this game that causes a distinct advantage for certain players. (I accept there are whales) but this is unrelated.
1. Why did it ever become necessary to pre craft? If the gear requirements are made, why change it? To make the marathon farm an ultra marathon? Before the update there was an advantage for the players that had pre crafted the droid callers and furnaces but not to the degree that I would ever post a message asking for a reversal or reparations.
2. Now that the update has been put into effect and those gear pieces have been equipped, I see the canyon that has developed between the two classes of players. It has nothing to do with spending money, purely based on whether they "crafted" "gear" before fifty unobtainable pieces were added to the already tall order. I have seen other post with more in depth information that included exact numbers (which I don't have) but I will say that the difference is astounding. I feel as though this is the point where I must speak up with the many others that are asking/begging for a reversal or reparation.
3. My suggestion/ hope: that devs will see this issue as valid. If there is added value to the addition of those pieces please share.
remove the fifty unobtainable pieces so that we can craft the items that others already have
I hope this post is not in violation of any of the forum rules and policies, I simply wanted to add my voice to the concern as it is becoming increasingly difficult to compete with "pre crafters"

Basicly double the protection between gear 8 and gear 9. I now feel bad for equipping mine
they're definitely changing that lol. No matter how many bad decisions they've made in the past, this would be the worst decision ever to keep that level requirement.
im debating between farming the eyeballs for him or stun guns for phasma. might go ben since he can actually get to gear 9 without precrafted gear
And you all told me I was crazy lol
That's why I used my crafted arachnids to other chars. I can still take #1 and the rest of the players won't hate me for an eternity.
I really hope so. If toons are stuck on gear 8 until lvl 90 it'd be beyond ridiculous
These aren't even the pieces currently blocking gear progression.
Please do your homework and double check the facts before making posts like this.
None of the raid pieces require 81+ to equip.
Every single character can hit Gear X at 80 with raid gear, some even XI
Can I ask where you get these numbers comparing HP at different gear levels? I haven't had any luck finding a table. Thanks!
Out of my RG and the other ones I can see in arena. Swgoh . Gg is good for max stats. I don't know where interim stats are.
you definitely need the Mk 9 neuro-sav Electobinoculars Salvage pictured on the right of that image to craft the mk 5 driod caller need for QGJ, Savage, Daka, etc to hit gear IX. same with the Mk 10 Holo lens salvage being need to craft the furnaces need by many characters
You need the SALVAGE to craft those.
What you have pictured there is NOT the salvage.

ah fair enough. thanks a little less bothered now.
Ok, thanks!
Someone please explain. Thanks.
This gear requirement changed drastically one day before the update so those that did not farm earlier was left stranded.
Thanks.
It wasn't mentioned 1 day before in regards to pre rafting, that update was mentioned 2 weeks before the update... Most people started pre crafting then already. & FYI, there were posts all over the forums in regards to pre crafting... If you didn't see it, that's your problem bud, do not expect the Devs to help you with something that had been mentioned with so much time to prepare.
False, it changed the day of the update. & once again, the forums & Reddit were a buzz with threads telling people to pre craft. You snooze, you lose.
Just like this "green initiative" iOS promotion, it's strictly iOS users that get it, is that also unfair?
Thanks.
Edit: I merged these two threads together as they are related.
