I too believe the economy is pretty bad now but you need to remember that activities and the season pass give you mats too. The problem I have with 2.0 is overall it seems inferior to 1.0. In order to get good stats you need to roll high armor, plus have all 5 pieces match in a way that you don’t loose any ability points. On top of that it needs to be the element that you want. Then you need to make sure that if you upgrade it that you won’t be loosing any capped out points. With the inability to slot Intellect or resilience mods (for example) and not be able to change around the perks like on 1.0 armor the seems damn near impossible. There’s also then problem with exotics being locked to an element and their rolls from collections being almost unusable. Let’s not even get started on scavenger perks being on one piece of armor only. Really the only reason I can see to go all in on 2.0 is the mods from the artifact which leave in 3 months. Then you get to do it all over again. 1 step forward 2 steps back smh 🤦‍♀️
