Which kinda brings me to this. I feel like everyone is way too much in love with the old CF system... Between the insanely grindy one from mainstay quest (RQ, Amdu UQ) and the EQ CF (better have the time and will to attend most of the EQS to get your baby to +35 because you sure as hell won't be getting any as a drop with such abysmal rates). The issue was alleviated a lot from when solo PD and Union revival happened onwards thanks to more straightforward files, better file rate filling, and longer time windows before file expiration, but the drop rates for Union, Astra and Zeine/Qliphad were still absolute undefendable garbage.
A simple solution to the current gear problem would be making all CF weapons stronger so that they are actually worthwhile alternatives while still being dethroned by BiS weapons. I mean cmon, Mars, which was the best CF weapon series we ever got as of EP5 still doesn't even come close to how strong and versatile Invade is, and therefore, as all CF weapons, end up as SSA fodder. It doesn't really make sense for them to be THAT underwhelming since they still require some effort to acquire. If BiS are power-creeping, CF weapons should follow suit. rant end
