First I want to say great job fixing the credit crunch! Great event and new toon, palps. A lot of great toons are free now!
With so many toon adjustments and availability changes, would it be crazy to be able to get the investment back from a toon, or all, for a cost of course?

i even extended the idea that you would not receive credit for an achievement from a character you activated twice.
so say you have Palps and I have Kylo Ren and we trade. My Kylo Ren would deactivate and if i wanted him again i'd have to start over from the beginning at farming him. but when activated that second time it wouldn't count towards any achievement. keeps people from cheating the achievements.
of course Kylo for Palps was just an example. not saying that would be a fair trade by any means. just using 2 toons as an example.
I hope that is what he is thinking, because I just about shot coffee out my nose when I read that.
Outside of mods I can't honestly see them allowing you to strip down your toons.
Besides this, imagine the technical nightmare and possible doors for abuse that would open.
Also, if a player is able to "strip down" a character and get some of the value back, that is in essence saying that the character is not worth having and is a waste of time and resources (obviously). While this may actually be the case, to allow this to happen would undermine the consumer's perception of CG's game-balancing expertise and invalidate the existence of those toons that they worked so hard to create.
Konami has run Star Wars force collection quite profitably for several years now. Trading is integral to that game. So theoretically some sort of trading system could be done. Now whether it should be done is another question. In SWFC trading itself becomes like some sort of OTC stock market and takes hours and hours to do. Trading almost becomes the game itself, and the time investment to do it well is ridiculous.
**** cuffs!

For example, I have heroes that were Chromium-only at launch (pretty exclusive). Some people paid hundreds (maybe more) for them, and they had their advantage. They got to play God-mode while those who didn't have say, Lando or Aayla, got pummeled. So I didn't get to play God-mode the same way they did, but that was my choice/their choice (you can't control how much others compete with their wallets).
It's a free-players dream, and a nice one at that, but I wouldn't hold my breath for something as big as you're describing: it simply doesn't happen in this market.
