Disgusted with mods

You cant rush mods. They are a very long term project.

Truer words were nevet spoken. I was firmly convinced they did a silent nerf of the speed secondary, until the other day I had one upgrade to 20. Mods, etc are basically end game content. If it was easier to obtain desired mods you would get bored and wander off. I am not a fan of this but from a game development stand point it makes a degree of sense. You can complete the LS/DS nodes with meh mods. Zeta is more important in the higher nodes.

Another thing I have noticed is there are different stats dropping. Percents instead of hard numbers. At first I thought they were junk but out of curiosity I played with them. Guess what? They were worth working with! 4% Potency for example, coupled with a 24% Potency plus mod, and a few more minor Potency secondaries and my hero had 75% overall potency. Now I will be the first to admit I have a lot to learn on the stats, but it has made a diffetence in some of my heroes. Jury is still out, but this could be promising.

You can mod at level 50. That's not exactly end-game.

You can't get 5 dot mods at lvl 50. I think the point was that accumulating top level mods so you can have them across multiple teams without switching is "end-game"* content. Sure, you can have 5 really good mods in the short-term, but to have all your toons dialed in just right takes a looooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnn (ok I'll stop)g time.

*personally I hate the term "end-game"

Force of habit (end game). One real issue is players like myself that have played since launch, have bigger rosters, and better mods because things are different now, compared to then. I have a lot of double digit speed mods for example, many today have yet to outfit one squad with similar mods. Power creep, or whatever is the popular term to use today, is rampant and getting worse. My original comment was intended to mean, of all the problems in game, mods are not the cure all. Just a symptom of a much larger issue.

This is totally wai, they want you to get so mad that you spend more money.

only if you want to speed them up. thats how it works, because just like the real world in this game time=$$

You can get good mods without spending money. You just have to be patient. This is a game of slow progression and long farms and probabilities. You're being impatient and wasting resources foolishly. That is your decision, not EA's.

The 1st 2 days when mods were released, i bought a vault amd refreshed thru 800 crystals simming for mods. That was a LONG time ago.

To date, I have 2 x +20 speed secondaries, 3 x +19, 4 x + 18 and it goes down from there. In all this time, I haven't gotten as many +16 or better speed secondaries as I got those 1st 2 days.

Just like geargate so long ago, or the 1 opportunity to max out 1 skill on 1 ship in your fleet...u have to move fast or it's impossible to catch up.

I learned and I am all-in on any new content in a flash.

I don't waste crystals on mod refreshes. Much easier to just wait and see what comes up. If there's a good one and i have enough credits that aren't better spent elsewhere i buy it. Crystals are better spent elsewhere. You only get so may credits a week anyway. In the long scheme of things getting your mods the day of a credit heist or a few days later won't change anything. And not wasting hundreds of crystals on refreshes and getting gear or shards you neeed instead will help yoy more. If you save credits for them you'll still get them. And you can always use the crystals for cantina refreshes to farm mods. At least then you get credits and cantina currency if you come up empty and if you get a good one you don't waste 3 mil credits on it. And if they are all shitty sell them for credits and you basically farmed credits which are always needed.
