I feel that making items like decorations, armor, weapons and so forth available in game through means other than purchasing them for credits would help the game's economy. I believe It will negate some of the scarcity and provide some competition for GTN prices.
Right now the GTN seems to have created a vicious cycle of needing credits to buy things and then players grind for credits, make the inflation worse, and end up putting things more out of reach.
At least until the server populations pick back up and player purchases from the cartel market start to pick up, I think it would be helpful to introduce more items into missions, vendors, an event, increased lootbox/mob drops or any way that will let players acquire what they are after without feeling they have to grind credits, or worse buy them from a credit seller.
I have no problem with this being a temporary measure, but part of the draw of the game is what you can get in it. It's at the point now where even old cartel packs are hard to find despite dedicated resellers tending to stock up. I really think it would help greatly if the team bolstered item availability until players could pick up the slack again.
