Mod challenges

Ok, so why is everyone acting like 3 and 4 dot mods being garbage is anything new? If you have a decent collection of mods that has been the case for awile as has the need to spend days worth of energy to maybe get one arena worthy mod. None of that is new. What is new is we have new energy to use on it and the refresh cost is half of that of cantina energy. Both are improvements. I am not farming mods but material to upgrade the ones I have instead. It just seems better to upgrade my already decent blue, green, and purples before using energy to maybe get a decent mod that has a small chance to roll to a decent mod when I upgrade. I get some decent mods from events and buy them from the store. So the poor droprates matter even less now.
