Crumb touched on this in his podcast last week and unfortunately it’s not the answer we want.

He said that they are still looking at ways to make the economy better but have no plans currently or don’t know how to do so to keep it in line with what they want the economy to be like, which in my opinion is ridiculous.

Relic 9 coming out is pushing a gear economy change sooner rather than later, especially when paired with the necessity to farm GL’s and the prerequisites for new toons and events demanding high relic levels. Changing the economy to trivialize getting to G12 is totally fair and is something the devs need to work towards. The best way to honestly do that is to put mk5 guns, mk3 cuffs and mk8 biotech components into new tiers of daily challenges. That would net an average yield of anywhere between 45-75 of each of those pieces per week. That would bring it in line with Mk3 carbantis which are more of a pinch point than a choke point. It still demands resource management but gives much needed relief.

They can also make guaranteed store slots in the GET, guild event or even GAC stores and there’s a finite number of that currency that can be earned so it wouldn’t break the economy either.

Idk there’s plenty they can do, but as it’s been said the will and desire, even though they’ve said they’re gonna make changes or “hope to”, isn’t there and it’s very disheartening

This is a reasonable solution to it. It would just take that pressure off slightly with getting characters to G12. I sincerely hope at the very minimum we get new daily challenges with some of the components you mentioned above included. I hope they consider this soon, it's rough out there and I'm someone who is a casual spender complaining about it. I am very calculated with my decision and gear management however it's difficult to make and meaningful progress in a reasonable amount of time.

I understand it's about thr long game, but how long is to long for some things.
