The ownership model of illuvials is somewhat diminished by the existance of beyond. I know that its probably too difficult to undo now. But someone with a brain should have said surely only people with a darkholo ramphy should be able to weild a dh ramphy pfp. I do not get the game. A collecting game based on a collecting game. Lets not beat around the bush. The team needed cash. But do we need to persist with mediocre ideas.
I suggest moving forward disks have a (very small)chance of dropping an actual illuvial based on the tier disk. This may create fresh demand for disks. Making the illuvial asset itself paramount is the only way this game.
The average cost+chance drop of an actual illuvial should be about 2-3x the labour and cost of actually grinding it manually in the overworld.
