That makes sense in regards to the Missions (which hopefully we'll be getting more of soon as well). There is no Assassin Eddie that you get in regular gameplay, but maybe that will change with Killers Eddie in Night City. Either way, I get what you're saying and the idea has a lot of merit - I would just like to see it implemented in addition to the TOYC vs in lieu of it.
That's funny with the Gold, I was there for a while and now with BNW, I find myself fluctuating between 5K and 2M weekly as I power-up talisman sets to 50s. But yeah, there are a lot of players with major gold reserves that should get to drop them into some fragments at least. Something.
