So you bought all the crap, which was also what I asked iirc. See that explains it. It doesnt explain though why someone that is fine with buying crap suddenly wants more crap, or cares what crap is provided at the tier stages.

So you're complaining that a player utilized a resource sink? And oppose this resource sink being expanded?

For those who have acquired all of the Incarnons via the Steel Path Circuit, we want to offer you additional rewards for this game mode.

Not "please play Circuit".

It just makes it worse since an even more generic items gets added, with even less incentive than rivens.

So the items you want are even more generic with less incentive than rivens? But those rewards would suddenly motivate you if you couldn't get them via Acrithis's shop?

Which again doesnt solve what DE wants to solve by the looks of it.

It does. "we want to offer you additional rewards" ---> Pathos Clamp is merely an existing middle man that can expand a players ability to farm Duviri from another direction.

They should in reality reward as much as a riven costs, since that is the intended reward to take the T5 and T10 spots.

• Acrithis's shop now includes an additional weekly riven for 75 Pathos Clamps. Limit 2 per customer

Easy. Now you could have additional options like

• Acrithis's shop now includes an additional weekly built Forma for 50 Pathos Clamps. Limit 1 per customer
• Acrithis's shop now includes an additional weekly 2x built Forma for 75 Pathos Clamps. Limit 1 per customer
• Acrithis's shop now includes an additional weekly 35,000x Kuva for 75 Pathos Clamps. Limit 1 per customer

And so on. Amounts and prices Prices aren't hard to adjust. Bonus: All those clamps from Orowyrm have a better outlet for you, since you don't want to buy the "crap" Acrithis has right now. Win win

Why are you so against a unique currency that would actually not result in the design of the vendor looking like a project from an intern with brain damage?

The more universal the token is, the better it can be as a reward. Why make a new token when we have an existing one that does the job just fine and opens up farming routes. The problem you're trying to solve isn't what DE is explicitly addressing here.

And you honestly missed "for this game mode" in your quote?

Nope. That was in reference to clamps, not the items added to the vendor. Which was kinda obvious you'd think considering rivens (the upcoming T rewards) were mentioned, and since the other items would be added to a vendor and not as tier choices that would leave clamps as the item referenced.

Willfully ignoring the end of the quote that you yourself quoted. Again "for this game mode". A reason to revisit Circuit and not a reason to revisit any other Duviri part, since those are already self sustained through acrithis and dont really need the help (yet).

That still doesnt solve the amateur hour design in that approach. Why is there such a varrying value in a single currency while also being tied to the same type of item?

Because it ends up cleaner and more professional in presentation. Plus in this case it would help in the way DE wants the extra rewards to help, give people a reason to revisit the mode. Selling the same item for the same currency at vastly varying prices just looks horrible and unprofessional and amateurish overall.

If you want an already exsisting item to be used on the vendor they could instead just add a new page that simply allows you to trade in an incarnon for another item. Or if it is a really exlusive item (umbra forma) 2 (or more) incarnons. That would clutter up the tier choice UI less aswell due to leaving it with the 5 incarnons and nothing else. Then the vendor can offer you a bundle or two of 75 clamps each week.
