With all the gear we have just piling up in the thousands, it’s a bit annoying. So I have a little idea. Why not have a gear trading mechanic? It works like this:
Within your guild, you can trade up to 5 pieces of one salvage for 5 of another every 12 hours with one guild member. It works just like the gear exchange but a more complete swap. Here’s a scenario. I need mk3 holo projectors and my guildie needs mk7 Nubian tech. Well I have 700 of those and he has 100 of the mk3. Rather than hope 5 other guildees donate to us we just swap 5 mk3 holo’s for 5 mk7 Nubian tech. After that neither of us can trade with any other guild member for 12 hours.
It doesn’t break the game, it doesn’t saturate anything, and it gives a little alleviation to the gear crunch and stockpiles. Any thoughts?

That sounds easy to you? If a person was willing to go through all that effort just to cheat a couple extra gear pieces here and there, I honestly wouldn't even have a problem with it. They'd do better just getting a second job and dedicating that paycheck to buying Crystals, sounds like less work.
wouldn't work due to timelock.
This system looks good, but it's basically just gear exchange with extra steps. Reducing gear exchange cooldown to 12 hours would be 99% this system with the added feature that anyone can participate and you dont give anything in return.
You really don't want to know exactly how many accounts I have made while rerolling for a perfect start....
I do. Did you manage to pull a wedgie out of a chromie in the end?
This could be feasible too. Depending on the level of gear would give you higher amounts of shard currency.
So you would leave your guild and create your own guild just to trade for 10 salvage pieces a day? How would it be abused. It would be meant only for guild members to trade with one another. Like someone else said it would be a more direct version of gear exchange with a shorter time lock of 12 hours instead of 24
I did 200+ accounts no Wedge.
Ah only 1 member, misread that as every member. Not as abuseable but just means I only need ONE alt to feed me say 10 pieces of stun gun salvage everyday. That's a lot more than you'll get from your current guild members I bet.
But will you’re guild allow your alternate to come in just for that? Why not allow alternates of your other guild members? It’s too much of a headache for 10 gear salvage a day. Now if there was no time lock I definitely see your abuse worries though.
It won’t do anything for the challenge gear, you’re right. But raid gear like mk4 holos, mk7 Nubian tech, mk3 bacta, etc, would benefit. In my guild some members only get payouts of one of those constantly and are always lacking in the other. I’m hurting on the mk6 thermals while another is swimming in them. If I could trade the mk7 Nubians that I have 700 of for them, which he is oddly hurting in, then I’d happily do it
Stop making sense with your well thought out and reasonable logic. What’s the matter with you
And yes, this could be abused.... but this ^^ is the bigger issue it just wouldn't solve.
But abused how? Especially if you are limited to doing it with one person in your guild per 12 hours
