Is the loot drama overblown?

I'm speaking of someone who done all kinds of strats last league. abyss/breach/legion/blight/simu/ult/harvest/memories/ubers (didn't do alva/containment cause boring). I did 36/40 both of my characters that league have mb and gear worth roughly 500div - mirror each. my profile

I know we get less drops now based on the nerfs but so are the prices now. I did a slow start this league but I found that the tree and new league stuff just print out a lot of stuff. Items/raw divs etc... (I got 3 in early white maps from the tree juice alone). It's easier to start going deeper into maps and for gg gear you probably need to farm more cause those are still hard to obtain (which is good).

Isn't this a good equilibrium? Do we need to inflate our currency to have a 'good' feeling playing the game? Cause I'm fine dropping less divs if the purchasing power is the same. At least for trade league it makes no difference and ssf players have immeasurable access now based on the genesis tree alone. I don't really see a big issue here.
