Expanding the number of companions you send out

After KOTFE and the launch of KOTET I did my little happy dance in my chair when at 66 I saw the number of companions I could send out on missions jump from 6 to 8. That soon died when at lvl 67 it was still 8. In fact I was like "darn it" when I hit 70 and no more slots to send out characters for crafting runs.

 

I would like to see it be like this if possible:

Level 65 - 6 companions

Level 66 - 8 companions

Level 67 - 10 companions

Level 68 - 12 companions

Level 69 - 14 companions

Level 70 - 16 companions

 

As a crafter, I know the complaint is it would flood the market for sellables and crash prices. For me I see it differently. To me, its about money spent sending out companions. After all at 5k a mission and 16 comps running around, it would cost me 80k per turn at mat gathering. Even if I sent out 16 comps all crafting items, I could generate 80 items (excluding the criticals) per cycle. That would in-turn burn down my craft mat stockpiles very quickly and I'd have to again go out looking for mats sooner than later.

 

The benefit for EA is it is an in-game gold sink that is useful. For players relying on obtaining items on the crafted goods on the GTN, it could force prices to decline as more items could be made for sale at a more rapid rate. For crafters that buy mats off the GTN, it would flood the market and push prices down. As for the mat vendor, they would be able to sell large lots of mats and get more cash the more they put the large piles up for sale. Just seems a win-win all the way around to me.
