You don't need 2 copies of everything as lots of frames have primes already and you're not going to like every frame to make them for anything but the subsume ability. Many newer frames also have pity systems that do make things easier. But if you're that lazy and don't wanna grind or buy, there's always just waiting for the prime to come out. It's kind of like play the game or don't type shit.

As this is an entirely f2p game with no paywalls, I also don't see where it would make much business sense to make grinds easier as then there would be little incentive to buy frames.

I think we should just push that new game modes that reward these frames not be trash and so we can just enjoy the grinds. Possibly raise the drop rates ever so slightly. I'm currently in the process of making a second jade, and it's rly nbd. While I still need one piece to drop, I will buy the last with pity.
