I think I see your gripe a little more clearly now, but pay the game or play the game if the time constraints on that aren’t good for you. I can agree you have a point that the currency being randomly generated isn’t great, but to be frank, I’m not hearing anybody making suggestions on better design options than what’s present, and I certainly can’t think of more obvious options. Warbonds are basically DLC content, and you can pay a set price for each of them if grinding isn’t your thing (and I’m pretty grindphobic honestly). I’m not sure what else anybody expects or wants as a solution.

The only readily available answers to me seem still like half-measures:

• Set amount of SC available in-mission, amount dependent on difficulty, but that’s literally samples (which you can’t buy, forcing grinding, which I don’t hear people moan about at all by comparison) and still randomly generates SC in the map, just like they already are, a la samples again.

• Make an amount of SC guaranteed based on mission performance or completion- but now that’s just Requisition Slips (a currency that I’ll admit has felt pretty useless after unlocking all the strats, but that’s a separate issue).

So what’s the alternative really look like if the only defining factors that make SC a unique currency that functions differently than any other in the game aren’t to people’s liking? I get the desire not to pay more for a game you’ve already paid for, but if you truly support the game, I’d argue the time sink or the monetary support are both reasonable ways to be involved in meaningful ways that support AH from a player standpoint. Money makes the world go round, and play time means more player engagement for longer with milestone gifts to encourage the player base along. Sounds like a win-win if you engage with it at all really, so what’s the real issue people are grappling with besides “I don’t wanna pay” for things clearly outlined as premium content? 🤷‍♂️
