MP1st is reporting that Crystals will be removed from the game and that all Star Cards, Heroes and game-changing items will only be available to unlock via grinding. http://mp1st.com/news/star-wars-battlefront-2-microtransactions-removed-entirely-all-gear-to-be-unlocked-through-progression

But... are they going to change the requirements so they're not such a ridiculous grind? If not then how is this potential change any better than it is currently?

Any system which doesn't allow people to pay for better gear is a way better system than the one currently in place.

Doesn't change the fact that indeed it's still quite bad. IMO Star Cards need to go entirely, people shouldn't be able to earn significant buffs by grinding a lot.
