I’ve been thinking back over the past few years of the game, like many others probably have been recently, how the game has progressed since day 1 until now. Which got me thinking....I’ve made a few mistakes along the way and although I don’t regret a lot of them, there still remains a few zetas/toons/over gearing or levelling I wish I hadn’t done.
I’d love if CG could give us a once off “factory reset” that could reset our entire rosters and refund all the mats for us to place again, the way we now want it!
I for sure wouldn’t level all my toons now my guild has TB on max farm. I’d love to fine tune my squad to suit current day TW/GA/Arena, which in an almost 190M GP guild means you need to have all the correct squads to succeed.
Plus I think it would be awesome to theory craft and have all your fellow gamers redo their rosters to also make themselves more competitive in all PVP aspects of the game!
I know this would be asking a lot of CG but I can only hope that one day we see the devs consider a make over option of our existing rosters and help to freshen up our rosters and progression!

It will never happen, most likely because many old players would end up with such a stock pile even rare gear would be right at our fingertips for a long time.
The game will always be about long term planning and living with the hard choices we all had to make. Even a 1 time reset will kind of undermine that.
Since the rewards are the same regardless of GP, it seems like a sensible thing to do...
Pay 100 crystals reset a char to gear level 7 and remove all gear above level 7, Omega abilities, and Zeta abilities. 100% of gear and Zetas are returned. 70% of omegas are returned, credits and tier 3 ablity mats are all lost.
The two things in your list that are easiest to get?
I'd rather see people be able to reset, but everything invested is gone. Poof. Zeta mats, omega mats, gear, etc. You got to use it once and reap the rewards. You don't get to double dip. And if you reset any toon you needed to unlock something, you lose that unlock.
Reset the vets? Bye JTR.
Reset phoenix? Bye Thrawn.
Reset Farmboy Luke? Bye CLS.
I am thinking of it mostly as paying a fee to move Zetas around. Maybe put the ability as a weekly shipment to slow people down.
Have to work out so there won't be someone with Traya and Revan in the under 1 million bracket.
Well those characters needed to be 7*, 80-85, G8, with some omegas, yeah? If you reset those toons, then you no longer have the necessary strength to unlock.
Maybe factory reset should be taken literally - as in level 1, all toons re-locked, all events reset.
I don't think you should be able to lower their gear level, so if they are g9, you can strip the gear off them, but you wouldn't be able to get them down to g8. This would prevent people from reducing their rosters to g1 for characters they don't use in order to basically p2w in GA
Easy, isn't it?
Only thing i want is more shards for the older toons. I've been working on Sabine for a year now and am still 51/100. Shame i was able to farm MT and Zombie faster. But it is sadly what it is.
IDK Kyno, I played another game for a very long time where such a thing was possible. When Dev changes were made to significant character equipment and character skill calculations, all players across the board were given a free skilling reset to allow the community to respond to those changes. Because gameplay was set up in such a way where an experienced player had very little possibility of exploiting a beginner due to their player score (much like our GP here, as well as experience level), it really transferred nicely and everyone left the change relatively happy. There were even standing premium pay and game cash options that allowed universal reskilling.
I think we've had two occasions I can recall where zetas were refunded due to major character changes, and I think the public as whole would take a lot of the meta shifts in better stride if they were given more opportunity to react to these things in such a manner. I would bet the vast majority of the game public would be more willing to pay $20+ real dollars for total ability mat or gear refund than they are for some of the stuff that gets peddled in the shops.
Better than "triggerthelibs."
I think at most we may someday have the ability to remove/break apart a piece of gear and hop to get a decent number of mats from it - not the number needed to rebuild it but some of them-
With the price point we see for many things in this game, $20 ish may not even cover a single toon "reskill".
This right here.
Some people have an advantage because they have been making right choices for 3 years, this would just be soul crushing to those players.
That a a good point and I didnt think about it like that before. The people with the least to benefit from this, suffer the most after making the "best choices".
Not 100% accurate. There are characters that have been geared up and maybe a zeta put on them because a year ago they were relevant. Now that the meta has shifted or more powerful characters have come out, the previous character isn't as useful. So in that case it isn't about poor choices, but the evolution of the game. I put a zeta on Qui Gon, now Bastila is the go to leader of the jedi team.
I think i'd invest everything into about 20 characters...no more.
I wouldn't have a 7 Star K2SO
I would make sure I would have 4 teams for LS and DS geared up, but I wouldn't say now to a few others.
