I mean, that's the game, isn't it? You either grind out the super credits, and the fact that's an option at all is the Hallmark of a good game, or you pay for instant gratification. Live service doesn't support itself.

"The scraps of barely available content is the hallmark of a good game" is something I'd be abjectly horrified to hear just ten years ago.

The game is not free to play. It's a paid game with abusive monetization practices on top. You've already paid for the service.

The overton window has moved so much now. Sigh.
