[quote]Right now we are earning Bright Engrams at a decent clip. It takes 40k exp to earn your 1st through 5th Bright Engrams. After that, though, the exp to earn engrams increases each time you "level". By the 10th engram it takes 70k exp.
"Thats not too bad" you might say. This is the second week of the game. Imagine yourself playing the game a year from now. New and awesome things are in the Eververse and you've levelled enough that it takes 500k exp to earn a bright engram. Even with the well rested buff, you are looking at a week or more to get a single bright engram.[/quote]
There hasn't been a cap that has been found yet, and if there is one we don't know how ridiculous that cap might be. Keep in mind that this doesn't reset every week.
What I'm concerned about is how this will affect shaders. I'm already not okay with the current shader system but this just seals the deal on how crappy this system is. It's already an RNG grind to get the shaders you want through Bright Engrams but now it's going to take even longer as you play more and more.

You realise you can get shaders from decrypting lendaries as well right?
