Locking progression behind random loot drops is awful

So I reached level 21 right now. Im new to this kind of a game and sold all my Fallen Ember before I reached the crucible. So now im in a very bad loop:

Problems:

  1. Clay isnt dropping. I played for 31 hours and I still miss 10 Clay for City upgrades and running around digging for it is REALLY boring.

  2. Spending Fallen Embers to do a run is double punishment and feels awful.

Consequence:

I now have to mindlessly run around the world, just hoping for random clay and ember drops. My progression is locked behind randomness. This really isnt the best solution.

Suggestion:

  • Adjust Clay drop rate
  • Just make the trials cost a large amount of Fallen Ember to unlock permanently.

Thanks! (and I love the game so far <3 )
