well i was obviously slightly exaggerating, but theres no real way of grinding for the cosmetics anymore besides your seasonally mandated welfare bright dust. which doesnt afford you even 20% of the season offerings, without counting any of the festivals. and its with real time investment that you even get most of that welfare bright dust, compared to before where you wanked around in pe's 30 mins per week in a few weeks you were done with the eververse.

plus we're still on a decline in terms of the actual bright dust we can obtain as well, each expansion and every other season they chip away at the amount of bright dust dedicated players can obtain.
