Look, I really have no issue with mods themselves. They allow you to trick out your toon however you want. I feel that they've made gear insignificant, which really bothers me because it seems like a kick to the groin for the months dedicated to gearing up toons, grinding 50 hair dryers. Hoping for them to drop.
But the amount of luck now required to obtain useable mods is insane. I need to hope for a level 5 mod to drop. I need to hope it's the right piece and I need to hope that it's primary is useable for my toon. Those are a whole lot of stars that need to align properly in a game where stars seldom align because of RNG.
That and I now have to choose between cantina and mod spending.
Mods should have their own energy, it should refresh very very quickly. Or better yet, go back to 100 drop rate with its own energy. Why do we have to use Cantina energy? Crystal refreshes should mirror regular energy: 50, 50, 100
And please, for all things good and righteous...increase credits in every phase of this game. Everywhere. It's absurd.
