Daily Gear Challenges Quality of Life Upgrade

Can the higher tier gear challenges include the lower tier gear please?
I've stopped doing today's Tier IV Tac Challenge and been doing the Tier III because I'm sitting on 200+ of an item none of my toons need and seem to be in a drought of all the gear I cared about when I was level 40. This challenge is the worse offender, but the other two should also include at least some amount of the previous challenges lower tier gear. I don't think it would be game breaking to give high level players access to low MK gear in their dailies instead making the grind feel more unnecessary. My argument is that there is no other challenges in the game other than the gear challenge where it is convenient to deliberately back track and play lower tiers out of necessity, which is otherwise trumped by the necessity of the higher tiers.

That is how every other challenge in the game works though. You don't back track on Heists, Credits, Droids, or Ability Mat challenges; every next tier does hand out better rewards and there is no reason to do the others after a point. You don't back track on Raids or or any multi-tier event, unless your allowed to play all the tiers like in Omegas. Only gear challenges instill a sense of backpedaling for no other purpose than seemingly to prolong the "grind" and that is my point.
This. We shouldn't have to backpedal for this. The rest of the game makes it so you get rewarded for progressing forward to better levels and abilities. Everything except the gear challenges, where you have get to a certain tier and you now have to choose. It doesn't make any sense.
This^^^
What they both said.
Also, do we really need the RNG on these challenges? Just give us exactly how many it says in the rewards tab.
Probably not but it is the structure of other challenges so more reason to add in additional gear rewards imo.
I listened to the Galactic War Report Podcast "pass it on".

+1 it's complete garbage that we need to sacrifice high level gear to get low level gear or vice versa. It's 1 of the single most aggravating aspects of this game for me.
We farm what we need. Nothing wrong with challenges working the same way.
Besides if challenge tiers had a chance to drop everything the former tier had plus more they would just decrease the number of drops.
for me I prefer being able to focus on the challenge that provides me the most of what I currently need than have a challenge that gives me a small amount of 6 drops
I mean ya I do, unless your trying to conserve energy you can get the same green & blue gear from the early stages in higher level stages which also drop additional better blue & purple gear. I have dozens to hundreds of blue & green I used to have to farm daily because I now get them on the side when I farm better gear in the higher level nodes. Look at Lando in Cantina would you ever do his first node after you've unlocked his second node? Of course not. Is it backpedaling if they have no other available nodes? NO, because there is no other resource for farming.
I agree while it isn't the most important I suggest it because this has been something that has not really been changed since vanilla, (at least to my knowledge) other than the additional higher level challenges. That it would just improve the gear crunch issue greatly, and it would be an easy non game breaking update. Imagine if they left credits and droids the way they were in the beginning (The descriptions on swgoh.gg don't do justice to how bad they were). I'm just saying they should bring gear challenges up to snuff with the former.

In general you are right. I just think that community should focus their wishes/requests and at the beginning the focus should have requests that does NOT affect income (gear/crystal drops). Things like ability to change payout (without change total amount of free crystal), guild chat, guild management, mod management... etc.
EDIT: All these things I've pointed are just tools and will not affect gameplay - no risk for gameplay bugs
That's where you are wrong, always do the cheaper cantina battle for char shards. The drop rate is the same so you finish the char faster. You used Lando as the example. I spammed the 8 energy node, if you spam the 12 energy node it will take you 50% longer.
Many of the gear pieces still works out better to do the 6 and 8 energy nodes for them. sure the higher nodes will drop other stuff as well but it will take you longer to get what you currently need. Besides it is my experience that most the lower tier items I need are not in a node with anything I don't already have hundreds of.
1.) Anything that has to do with credits, ability mats or training droids, I sim the highest tier.
2.) Anything else (str, agi, etc), I alternate between tier 3 and 4 per sim. I do tier 3 first, then 4, then 3... you end up doing tier 3, 3x a day, and tier 4 twice a day. I keep consistent and I can spread out the gear between my toons a little better.

BOOM Thank you, love you guys, love this game.
