I am not going to tell you that you should be happy about this. You can be as mad as you are.
But I do want to say that bc the prices haven't changed at all, over the long term you'll get exactly as many toons up to g12 over exactly the same amount of time. You're buying more than you need for this toon, today, but that means that you've already purchased what you will need for the next toon that wants that salvage.
Yes, today is full of delays, but future toons will be accelerated bc you purchased large lots, and by the time we've been in the new regime for a month or two, you'll only have a couple things to buy for each toon and you'll get things done in the same amount of time.
(Eventually even faster, though that doesn't have anything to do with the raid currency changes. That has to do with the Coliseum and how you won't need sub-g12 gear for new marquees anymore. That means there's a finite number of old toons to take up to g12 and then it's just the GLs and Conquest toons and whatever legendaries you haven't had a chance to pick up yet.)
Again, be furious or sad or whatever. All legit reactions. I just want to reassure you that in a month or two things will be in a new normal routine and your progress will be at least as fast as it is now.
Good luck, and remember to keep the focus on whatever makes the game fun for you.
