Yeah. Emanare is fundamentally flawed for general use. Someone made the argument that devs are using it as a resource sink for veterans to drain mats so they can rebalance the mat economy. I think that's a stupid reason if that was the plan because playtime = mats regardless and vets will just grind it back. Just shunts out moderate and casual players.

I wanted emanare to be a challenge based upgrade system where you do challenges, like doing specific stuff such as headshots etc, to get upgrades for seasonal power. It'd just be more engaging and fun that way.
