As someone who tries pretty hard to collect most of the new weapons, skins, armor cosmetics, etc. I find it almost impossible to keep up with Eververse without spending money. With the changes to cosmetic items no longer dismantling for Bright Dust it is a grueling grind to acquire enough Bright Dust to buy these "free to play" cosmetics fast enough. In theory, each weekly bounty from the 3 main NPC vendors (Zavala, Shaxx, Drifter) grants 200 Bright Dust a piece with additional bounties from some vendors rewarding 10 Bright Dust a piece. This ends up as a grand total of about 3600-4000 bright dust for an account per week so long as they finish these bounties on every character. That's a decent amount however new eververse items such as sparrows, ships, ghosts, and emotes cost anywhere from 2000-3500 bright dust apiece meaning that unless you store away massive amounts of this currency there is no way to acquire all of these new cosmetics fast enough before the event is over. Please implement a better way to earn bright dust or make these prices more reasonable so that people don't feel like they're missing out if they don't spend ridiculous amounts of real money on silver. It has felt like the seasons have just been an excuse to market new skins for quite a while and I can't imagine much of the community enjoying this. If you made it this far into this post please answer the poll question. What is your opinion of the Bright Dust economy?

The occasional Eververse items would come out like the whisper skins and that would be fine. The silver prices are currently too steep and cater to whales. If they lowered them they would get the whales and impulse buyers for some. The prices are offset so you always have wasted silver just sitting there as well. The battle pass has an opportunity to to mend some of this. After level 20 or so it has a lot of blank spots in its upper slot. They could put bright dust and engrams in there for rewards. This should have been done from the get go and reward that grind. A daily log in bonus that builds up with consecutive log ins could help too. They could give out occasional discounts for Eververse. Warframe does it and I love it.
