So as part of the majority that didn't 7* Shoretrooper after this tournament, I'd like some way to continue to farm him over time. The tricky part is finding a way to make him farmable without making those who spent a lot of time or money on the tournaments feel cheated.
My idea is to have 2 Shoretrooper shards appear occasionally in Shard Shop the same way that Vader shards do. This way it's a very slow farm, so it's fair to those who already have him maxed, but can provide some excitement and progression for everyone else.
Also, from a money-making prospective for EA/CG, it would provide those who already have 7* Vader a reason to still consider refreshing the Shard Shop.
Thoughts?

Why would ea/cg care if ppl feel cheated? They released a bunch of p2p toons that had some of the shortest time behind the pay wall without batting an eye.
But the best joke would be to put him in GW store.
Putting him in the GW shipments would be the biggest Troll move ever perpetrated by a game developer. A lot of people spent a lot of GW crystals getting ally points to rank high enough to unlock and star him. To turn around and just let people by him with the original said crystals would infuriate a lot of people that spent GW crystals.
If shore was designed as the fix for the aoe meta with the intent to allow players to slowly change him in, while at the same time making his release slow enough to give aoe players a chance to react and farm new teams, then the original design makes some sense. It's still to think CG should band aid fix against Wiggs/lando abd have those players get caught because they ran strong teams.
If, however, he was designed as he whale super healer (that he is), yeah, limiting his shards to maintain exclusivity makes sense.
The shard shop probably accomplishes all of this in the most balanced fashion(IMO), due to forcing players who want him to counter aoe teams to give up other resources/farms to work on shore, taking a considerably amount of time to finish/unlock him, all the while making him inherently more valuable than any other non shard shop character. It also appeases those who have not finished/unlocked him to push for the next shards.
Tldr:
We simply do not know what CG intended for shore.
Shard shop is a good way to maintain his value and let players slowly farm their meta preferences.
And if tournament is instead of auromium packs look were wedge and B2 landed..
LOL
I hope he is gonna be in GW shipments
I would lol
That being said if B2 wasnt farmable then shoretrooper would dominate even at 4*.
Like say... buying geonosian spy for 200 bucks on aurodium packs and have it farmable in cantina in september...?
They already done it...
