Is anyone just overloaded on Alpha catalysts?

I did a count and I currently have 30 T2A in overflow and even more T1A. I can’t burn them though as T5B is in such low supply nor can I sell them. Is anyone else in the same boat?

I think some eventually were used to take a 6* to Rank 2... but that's about it
I guess we're just in two completely different brackets of reward earnings. :P
T5b 6 in inventory.
T1a 22 in overflow
T4b 24 in overflow
And this is after I took AA from r1 to r3 last week. I don't have sigil either.
No more upgrading 5*, why? cuz iso! Have 1500 t5 iso and about 10 4* crystals saved for emergencies. No point putting iso on chams who will never see r5.
No point for me to invest t4cc on 5*s. One rank3 6* and boom t4cc gone.
With scarcity of t5bs, I don't want to invest t5b into 5*, when I already have multiple t5cc in stash.. I have 30 r5s and they are more than enough for me to cover things. Maybe some day to counter specific content, but these days it's absolutely a waste.
Thus t2a overflow... And I'm not complaining.
They'll find a suitor when required.
They need to increase the ability to buy t5b from
Glory.. less than 1 a week is stupid
I have 125 6* and every counter required at this level, so why level up the version below?
It's in these situations I am very glad that I didn't explore Variant 7 and Variant 5 immediately. It's an extra couple of T5B that I can get.
I mean, if people don't mind Resources expiring, that's up to them. That doesn't mean the game is designed to stop focusing on lower Rarities. That's pretty much a choice.
I’m saying this from a perspective where I don’t have enough t5b to rank up all the champs I want to, I want to take Apoc from r1 to r3, Diablo to r3, claire from r1 to r3 to name a few. It’s gonna take me ages to clear that backlog, but a couple months ago I had t5b coming out of my ears. It’s just how the game goes.
I disagree with GW’s reasoning, it’s not because people stopped ranking 5*. How is the solution of not enough t5b solved by using some more on 5*? Yes the ratio is different but that just shifts the resource you’ll have a shortage of to something else. It doesn’t change the problem. It’s like saying oh I don’t have enough water in the bath, I’ll take some from the sink instead.
I don’t think there are necessarily shortage problems, *unless* they persist through many levels of players of the game, and/or for a long time. Now I’m not sure about the first, from what I’ve seen it tends to be people focusing on a 6* roster now, since 6* take more t5b to rank up, correct me if anyone focussing on 5* have the issue too. But as to the second point, this hasn’t been around long enough for there to be a drought.
Lastly, just to show I’m not against the principle of a drought, I do think there is one for ISO. It affects a lot of people, unless you buy crystals or do a lot of arena (not ungodly amounts, but a lot of the time more than what people can do). And it’s been around for a long time, pretty much since 6* were introduced and they *still* only gave 24 ISO bricks, while taking several times more total ISO to level up. That is an imbalance, and one that should be fixed. Hell, 5* only give 24 as well. We’ve gone 2 rarity levels where the ISO hasn’t changed, since the start of the game for crying out loud.
So yes, it is annoying to not have T5B, I’m in the same boat. But having gone through the t2a “shortage” and then feeling like it’s changed in a matter of weeks, without anything really changing except my rank up habits, I really don’t think there’s much of a shortage as of now. Now if we are still in this situation in a couple months time, and we are getting less and less t5b, and more t2a - then there may be cause for concern. So I’d say I’d remain open to the possibility, but just because you don’t have some of some resource, doesn’t mean there is a shortage.
Content that needs specific Rarities? You mean for the Rarities that people already have ranked up and completed for the T5B that was available? Yeah that TOTALLY makes sense.
Advancing your account? You mean the people who need more T5B that are trying to advance their account by ranking up more R3s because they've already got plenty of R5s? Yeah, screw those who are trying to advance their account progressing with too many R5s and R2s I guess!
None of your points make any sense for those who have progressed much further than what you have. They make sense to you because you're not at the point where you're ranking up more 6*s because your 5* roster is already fully developed.
Empathy is a wonderful skill, being able to imagine other situations.
I rank everything. All 3* maxed, all 4* to r3, all 5* to r3, even some to r4 as the t4b and t2a would expire. I even ranked all the 4* up for Carina challenges just to make them easier.
Even doing this I am selling t1a every few days and if I brought t2a from Glory (which I don’t) then would have even more overflowing.
In nutshell they have slowed t5b dramatically and increased t5cc - see SOP rewards - 3 t5cc and hard let any t5b 🤷
