I don’t mind farming for gear when you can actually farm for that gear. Stun guns and stuff like that don’t bother me but stuff like the salvage in the picture is a bit much. I need about 300, just to cover the characters I actually want to try and gear, and yet the only place I can seem to get it is the Heroic pit raid and Tier 5 of the sith raid. The pit isn’t guaranteed and my guild don’t do tier 5 of the sith raid anymore so my choices are either hope I get some from the pit raid or pay for them. I’m all for farming for gear but it’s a bit demoralising when gear isn’t even farmable. If I’m missing something and it is actually somewhere I’d love for someone to let me know where.

The only advice I have is to hoard your raid guild currency until you see them in the guild store. Those and stun guns are the pretty only thing I need at the moment.
This is accurate. And although there are far more important pieces to buy, the GAC store also stocks them.
Well it's good I didn't say that! You're welcome to ignore what I said, and you're welcome to be as inefficient with your resources as you like.
Some people prefer a good of community over tryharding and being forced farmed to get good rewards. My roster is mine and YOU WILL NOT TOUCH IT!
Using it wrong, but nice try.
If I can do it, other people can do it. There are solutions to the droid caller gear crunch, or any other gear that's in the guild store. It's not even close to the bottleneck that stun guns and kyros are. Sad thing is you know I'm right, but you have to just attack me every post because you can't admit that I could ever be right.
Either that or you're bad at resource management. If that's the case, listening might help instead of constantly attacking.
Good luck/bye.
The amount of Guild Currency you can earn in a month is significantly more than what you earn in a month of GAC.
Relative income may factor into the tradeoffs you choose, but that doesn't change the math. Finishers and Kyros are relatively expensive there, it's not an efficient place to get them.
What other choices do you have though? Unless you don't care about one of the two meta fleets you can't use GET2, and farming from energy will prevent you from farming toons and ships from those tables.
Exactly, so perhaps CG can make meaningful changes in order to alleviate the gear crunch in certain aspects; like the ones that have been around since day one. At this point the new wall should be getting the relic gear and finishers. The grind of getting to G12+ should’ve been alleviated a long time ago now.
I'm glad you agree that mk5 droid callers are not a problem.
Stun guns are the real crunch. Hopefully they are a reward for the new Galactic challenges. But they really just need to make them challenge gear at this point. Another tier to the challenges that gives gear we actually need is probably the most needed qol in the game right now.
Well we found another tradeoff. Energy is the most efficient way to get a lot of things, including shards and some gear. Tension! I think that's what makes games challenging.
Kyros have one of the lowest premiums over farming cost on their direct crystal cost, so buying those for crystals makes sense if you're impatient and ever spend crystals on gear.
Being in a 'good guild' and being part of a 'good community' are not mutually exclusive.
