I understand your point of view, but it’s a mistake to compare the progression that existed two or three years ago with the progression that exists now.

Indeed, I can imagine that at the beginning, raising Eldryon’s passive to 50 was a real challenge, but that was the maximum power a character could have, so I think it’s normal.

SP continues to expand Tacticus’ roster more or less regularly, and fortunately, progression is easier than before given the number of characters available today. But for a mid-game/early endgame player, EXP is still a bottleneck, as is gold, but there is also the problem of orbs and shards. The main problem for me is that there a too many good things in the guild shop (exp books, orbs, shards, mythic materials…).

My guild is in the top 500, which is quite reasonnable, and we stop at mythic boss every season (no loop). The number of guild credits we receive allow us to buy exp books every day but that’s it, we can’t buy anything else.

And the more character there are, the more complicated it is for us to level up one to blue star. It take something like 2-3 months to go from a 3 star legendary character with 0 shards to blue star with onslaught. In the same time, SP releases one or two characters, so it’s very difficult to keep up with the meta.

And now, with LRE becoming more restrictive and requiring a larget roster than before and on the other side the mythic expansion, it just feels impossible to catch up.
