I think it should not require any catalyst or reactor through the whole thing, because it's not Free2Play in that regard anymore.

Yes you can trade with other people for platinum, and yes there are alerts that give potatoes now and again. But it's not like you never need catalysts or reactors elsewhere if you don't buy them with platinum. And personally, I never paid for anything gameplay-affecting, the only platinum I bought and spent was for more weapon/warframe slots and a few cosmetics, never prime parts or mods for trading, or catalysts/reactors/kubroweggs/rescources for platinum.

I don't have a good replacement idea, I don't know, a lot of "rare to get thing xyz" for the rank 5 promotion (in this I agree with you, rank 3 for a reactor/catalyst while rank 5 for a prime part is just stupid) or something along the lines.It's just quite a crutch to be able to ascend above rank 3 in a syndicate for me or people who might share the same mentality.
