The escalating cost of resetting the artifact is absurd. It prevents us from playing how we like and makes it stale. That's the opposite of what the artifact is doing i e. Introduce seasonal variations in the meta.
There is NO reason why we shouldn't be allowed to unlock all mods.
The game would still be balanced. I.e. you can't do breach and clear and energy accelerant at Same time. But it would allow me to be more creative by choosing how to play the game vs glimmer restrict my appetite and build creativity that day

Addendum
A lot of people are throwing around the "conscious choice". Ok how about this
Let ME choose what I unlock . I can skip through many of the second and third rows perks. I want to be able to choose what I unlock and unlock more of last two columns.
Basically if we had 2-3 more unlocks for the final two columns everything would be fine.
To all those who agree with me, ya all get me and thanks

The fact that the mods even exist bothers me. Ask yourself. What purpose do the champion mods serve? To kill champions. That is literally the only purpose. I don't care what anyone says. Giving up a slot just to kill a single enemy is asinine. That's not "critically thinking." It's stupid.
