Would have been nice to just see them fix the lighting issues so that it worked as intended....

i wish they would have just fixed it to work as intended. Spent the last 10 years paying attention to tilesets and what effects occur at different locations only now to have the ability gutted on any frame its swapped to. Im not mad..... im just disappointed.

Ive had this issue for well over a year now. Even built a new computer, completely fresh install, fresh hardware..... right from the go had the same issue.

At my rank and hours im happy to have something to do lol. Im just wondering if im having stupid luck, or if there might be something wrong with the drops.

Yeah I know RNG is RNG. I get it. Anyways, Ive acquired 30 tome mods, 20 weapon pieces, and enough endo to rank up two primed mods. Ive probably got more than 70 runs at this so far.... and mirror defense has to be the worst structured mission, but thats a different discussion. Im in the >92% area for a "guaranteed" drop. Im just curious if anybody else is experiencing this issue as well.

Yeah, I get it. You think low tier should take priority over high tier. The problem is, the current system breaks low tier content anyways, even with only access to low tier equipment. Again, the fact that you choose not to utilize that kind of build is irrelevant. I wouldnt hold my breath though anyways. I dont see DE changing the damage system again anytime soon.

Ive been reading this for a while.... and im thoroughly convinced you are arguing for the sake of arguing. Yes, changing the meta will change your builds. Trickle down effect. This is going to happen no matter what happens in the game. I myself am very anti-meta. I like to use obscure weapons and generic mod combos and play at very high level content. Like enemy levels with 4 digits. But heres the truth, and the concept you seem to be ignoring. Just because YOU use limited builds does not change the overwhelming build potential vs majority content. Warframe in general has an enormous problem with power creep. As you've stated, your limited builds are already enough to deal with majority star map content. Then, adding just a couple more mods as drasiel has shown, and all of a sudden we're roflstomping through everything. The builds dont even have to be meta. You can do non-meta builds and still delete everything. What Drasiel has clearly outlined here, is that status is merely one aspect of the larger picture of the damage system, and the issues that exist within it. Whether you partake in it or not is irrelevant.
