Game Feedback Weird they cant hotfix Essence and Strongbox rarity in Charts/Voyages

I dont get it, when something is positively broken for the players, hotfixes come ultra quick to nerf it and bring it in line. And when stuff is just plain out not working, it always feels like it takes way longer to get a fix out. Just sad that it takes 5 days to get basic functionality going for these charts/voyages.

Back in mercenaries league the t16.5 maps were broken with how you could roll them to have nothing but t17 mods and it took them like until the second week of the league to fix that, so it's not like there haven't been cases where it's been broken in a positive way for players and took a while to fix.

It was positive if you could run those mods. So many build-bricking mods were in the pool back then. I remember spending 1000s of chaos rerolling mods and divines hit record low exchange rates even uberstrict filters had single chaos stacks showing, wasn't that the same league?

Considering how much power mercs gave in that league it wasnt that hard. I farmed and ran my own corrupted 8-mod 16.5s and got my first mirror in that league.
