I never thought etheric light was hard to get. I like how there are set ways to get etheric light as opposed to %100 rng. What is so hard about getting either friends together or going on a lfg site and getting into a group for a 34 poe, a decent pvp team for iron banner, or even blatantly asking for a carry in trials. You get etheric light from simi end game content to end game content. If your not interested in end game content then what do you even need etheric light for then. You dont need to be 34 with 365 weapons to run pvp, patrols, bounties, story missions, or even raids.
