I don't want instant gratification.

I want to feel like I have something to show for 194409605 hours of atma grinding. A progress bar? That's fine. Capped soldiery? Great! I know what I need to do to get my armor, and it won't be instant.

RNG for a weapon that is literally for show (at first)? And the show-weapon is needed to power it up further? Not fine.
