Exploratory Mission Changes

I don't know why, but it seems to be the most plausible explanation to me.

I doubt that case. If they're really concerned about players hoarding too much of an item they'll end up making a new item to do the same thing. Like how the Ixali didn't have a way to trade for unidentifiables or how we have new red scrip tokens to use towards the new gear. They won't leave it up to the players to balance rewards.
