@EA_Jesse :
First, thx for the today news about that update and sorry for my english (it's not my native language).
I really was relaxed about that update, knowing it would need a lot of time (and money) to get all the items I need for maxing gear 8 and then gear 9-11.
We all know the discussions about the droprates for the hairdryers and other items. To increase the ingredients for some of them makes me really furious. For example the Mk 5 A. Droidcaller which needs 94 items instead of 44. That means 250 additional energy at a 20% droprate. That means an extra day only for ONE additional item by using nearly the complete free energy (yes, I know, 375 in summary with bonus energy)!!!
I spent a lot of money for that great game and it was okay. And I use 5 refreshs usually all days for 600 additional energy. What means I will need a complete day for 4 extra items. No energy for farming shards or other items counted...
And a droprate of 20% is very optimistic displayed. If it is like hairdryers we all know ist will need at least 3 days for f2p's.
EA, that will kill all fun if your clients don't see any progress in the game. You really should think over!
Regards, bluecouch(ing)
(p.s.: didn't find another discussion about that so I started a new one. If it already excists pls move my input there)

May I tell you that it doesn't take 250 energy at 20% drop rate but 250 battles, which are at least 2500 energy
And the new items we will find in battles which will costs 12 energy.
What else are you doing with your energy except farming? :-O
The light and dark side battles. I'll probably put farming on hold just to finish those.
Hell, yes. Back to school for math
That doesn't make it better...
How about having real fun facing brutal imperial troops, Grand Moff Tarkin, Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine himself on LS 7D hard while farming purple gear and Luke Skywalker shards with fully synergized Jedi squads instead of simming nodes we can't be bothered to manually play again?
