They should either have the arena run continuously, or have a daily proving ground.
However, it is completely contrary to the intent and the benefit of the glory store for players to spend their glory on what they think the "best" reward is, and then demand that Kabam add more sources of all the other stuff they could be spending glory on but choose not to. If you could address bottlenecks with glory but choose not to, it calls into question whether Kabam should have ever given players that choice in the first place.
Also, I used to buy T5B in the glory store. The game punishes me for that choice to this day.
The glory store was a specific reaction to players complaining that the AQ maps they were doing were not always dropping the resources they needed, with the understanding that players now were not bound by the map they did; they could buy any reward they wanted with their glory. So if you are experiencing a severe shortage of T1A, you're supposed to spend your glory on T1A.
You aren't supposed to buy a "balance" of items or the "best" items. You're supposed to buy the items you personally *need*. That's explicitly why the glory store exists. This was stated when the glory store first arrived. Instead of the game deciding what you should get based on the Map you did, the player gets to decide based on what they need the most.
If you are spending your glory on your bottleneck resources and *still* experiencing bottlenecks, that is one thing. But if you refuse to do so to the best of your ability because of a preconceived notion of what you're "supposed" to spend glory on, then you're doing it wrong and the game shouldn't adjust to players deliberately creating their own bottlenecks.

Aside from gold and iso, it's one of the most easily attainable resource.
But actually, the real issue is that you need T1a to R4 and R5 5*, while that also needs T2a. It makes no sense.
I immediately put Colossus on hold and focused on Ranking up Doctor Doom.
I had to buy T1a from glory store as well as exploring 2 back issues on classic....passed on doing the Ultron classic
Also, you can get three T1A from the T1 catalyst arena every three+ times a month for like an hour of grinding. You can catch up very quickly on T1A between glory and the arena if you can hammer out the arena every cycle.
