agree it is complete garbage they added tonics solely to increase metrics by having a timed buff similar to call of duty where you don't want to waste it, but then they doubled down and made the tonics insanely grindy. The tonics lack almost any kind of quality of life design imaginable. they could tell during testing that tons of people would skip the stupid tonic grind so they tied it into core power on the artifact and they got rid of patterns - and possibly did some kind of bad faith reduction on drop rates in general these suits are not on the players' side, we are just a consumer blob to be manipulated
