See title. We've done 31 raids, 20+ of those have been Tier 6. I always place mid-pack because of the terrible reset time issue (4am for me) and get bumped down by players who go twice.
So 31 raids, almost all Tier 6, place in the 15-20 range each raid - and I only now have enough salvage gear to craft a furnace. One. Furnace. Period.
I have salvage Mk5 callers (never seen ONE in shipments, Zero!). I have salvage discs, I have salvage scanners, all raid only gear. I dont have enough of any to craft the complete piece.
What do we all get in our guild most days? Challenge gear! Seriously?!? Just today, I finished 13th in Tier 6. I got 10 Carbanti sensors. The ones we get free with Challenges several times a week and is easily farmed. I also got 5 discs that I need for Rey but I still need 17 more to actually make something.
Meanwhile gear was supposed to show up in Shipments. So far it has been 99% farmable gear. Since it started I have seen 2 furnaces and just bought one since I thought raids were supposed to fix things. Silly me. Not once since. No callers, no anything that cant be farmed and most of it is total junk. Mk5 laptops? Ya, I have 615 of those at last count. Mk4 droid callers? Ditto.
Give me a furnace or a Mk5 and I give you crystals. I've never seen a situation where you have to beg a company to pay them money!!

The gap in rewards is huge. I've done near 30 heroics, never placed in the top 10, and have 15+ pieces.
Its not harder than T6 & there's a horde of vultures around these forums ready to jump in if you should end up abit short.

More than anything coordinate who & how many hits P1 (Should only be people with a dispeller i.e. Ewok Elder, Rex or Ackbar).
If you have 1 good squad each & 5-10 chars to throw at P4 you will be fine.

Don't expect endgame loot from not-endgame content I suppose. Gear progress is fine at T7, even for people finishing in the buttom tier.
Heroic is coming in a week or two but what about all those that cant run Heroic? Tier 6 should give you something after pounding on that raid for a day!
The minimum raid salvage for heroic is 15. Mid range gets 25, and top 10 gets 40 pieces.
But hey, congratulations. Once you add that first piece of gear, the second and third will likely come quickly..depending on the toons of course. It's very addicting to get that exclusive gear. If it were easy, it wouldn't be as much fun...although it doesn't sound like you're having any of that either. I hope your experience improves.
Getting dead last in heroic is better than 4th in T6. Probably better than even winning T6.
OP, count how many 7* chars there are and how many 7* squads each has, and then divide some for p1/2/3/4.
If you dont clear, get help from mercs. The rewards will snowball.
I just think the drop rates are quite horrible. Challenge gear shouldnt even be in rewards, especially for Tier 6.
