Primed Mods

[Wokes Factory of Nut]

I've got a issue with the mods not the fact that i can get 120 dupilcates,not the fact that the rates for a drop is smaller then the chances of team mates not leaving before reaching the 30 minute mark, no my issue is with prime mods that you can't acquire through regular means only being able to get them from just that bastard called baro or trading why can't we get them from farming on much higher levels or fight in the void for a specfic amount of time cause if i'm correct baro is the void trader i might be wrong but if he gets the mods from what i assume he gets them from the void so why isnt there just one spot in the void where we can go to get them that's all i want just a way to get primed mods not through the trading system,not through the 2 week man himself but just from putting time into one spot in the void.

ouch

there are only 2 sources of primed mods:
daily tribute 200, 400, 600 days
and
baro

daily tribute only give you a selection of 4 primed mods
while the rest of dem primes are from dat barodude

trading primed mods requires a million credits (or 2? cant remember) which somewhat punishes new players for not grinding for them

I assume they want prime mods to be rare, and keep value. If you could farm any number of them you want whenever you want, that wouldn't be the case. Needing ducats to buy them also acts as a sink for prime parts, helping them to keep their value better too. Lastly, prime mods are never needed, they are just nice, and more for veteran players to min-max. You can get by almost as well without a single prime mod if you need to.

So far they have kept to a design of allowing you to have mods without high end content. There are pros and cons to it, but that has been largely the case since launch. There were the early copies of slash/impact/puncture stuff but they put them back in later and made them easy to get. A few other things were at worst locked behind nightmare (but easy to do the first few planets' nightmare missions) ... nothing 'endgame hard'.

I wouldn't expect it to change much.

unless you're doing steel path or really like archguns most prime mods aren't needed for sortie-tier content and at worst you're just not gonna one shot something

I believe i got my 1st primed mod before reaching mr 5... i got the needed amount of plat, contacted the seller, encountered trading taxes for the 1st time, the seller carried my sorry as s to the index, farmed 1 mil credits for me and then the transaction was made.
Even the things that are supposed to be rare ( duh, " primed" in the name ) are already pretty easy to get, talking about the void: farm corrupted mods and sell em, it still is a consistent method to grofit, once again what is the issue ? trading is a regular way of acquiring things
