Wouldn't surprise me tbh.
The whole "vendor" system is utter trash anyway. IB was at its best during TTK / ROI with high % chance of after match rewards & decent selection that could be bought outright from the vendor themselves.
The problem with the rewards, is there is nothing that’s a “must have” in the game, apart from the fighting lion which is outright terrible and doenst drop anyway, everything can be used to decent effect.
The raid itself isn’t particularly challenging, it’s been built around mechanics rather than dps checks and swarming you with adds, so you don’t need to go in there packing the absolute highest burst or sustained dps to get through.
People complain about the mida in cruicible, well damn right you are going to get pot shot at range with a scout rifle, it’s TTK is a little too quick, but it’s not at the point where you can’t beat anyone with it, you absolutely can, and don’t need to be a digital John Wick to do it either.
So what all this leaves you with is no drive to grind, there simply isn’t an outright unchallengeable best gun or class defining piece of armour, and in a loot based game if there’s no best loot, there’s no point in playing.
