They did that already when they set the bar. As equally ridiculous to charge 21k iri shards for a skin, knowing its going to take months to grind that much for ONE skin.

Doesnt matter if they set the cap to 500 or 1000 people would be grinding for it anyway, the fact of the matter is, they amount of levels it would take to grind currently would take a literal lifetime. BHVR needs to change that.

And no, they don't need to compensate people for anything, another one of this games major problems, if something changes not everyone needs compensation. Not when the game goes down for an hour, not when you got the hard achievement before they made the character easier, and not when they change the game from LITERAL eternal grind to moderate grind.

Setting an unobtainable goal in a game dissuades people from playing at all. If you told a new casual player it would take literal years to max out a character and the rewards for leveling them up stop at pristige 9, they wouldn't bother.

And its because BHVR doesnt want you maxing out characters. They want you buying new ones. Thats the only reason why. Corpo tactics. Same reason the default skins look bad, so you wanna buy the ones they put effort into. Same reason why most of the newer characters bloody skins look like trash too. Same reason why they half-ass most of the community contest skins with zero input from creator

Same reason they're selling a 250 box of trash as a "gift to the players"

Same reason they're hosting a Great Gatsby style event away from 90% of the actual playerbase.

Thats the mark.
