Primed mods make gameplay infinitely easier with their improved stats, they also function much better than their counterparts at Rank 8, of which getting from Unranked to Rank 8 costs the same as getting from Rank 8 to Rank 9 alone. The number of endgame viable secondaries alone has tripled since Primed Mods came in. Powercreeps like these have made missions easier, for example pushing T4S bragging rights benchmarks from 40 min to well over 60 min. As a result, Void rewards become easier and easier to acquire in greater numbers as each new Primed mod is added to the game. In short, primed mods don't need heavy core farming to offer benefit and increase net ducats in the long run.

Baro currently has no purpose. As each account only needs to purchase an item once or at most twice, and more and more players gradually acquire all of Baro's stock, there is no sink for ducats to fill in. Baro cannot function without new content. He now exists as syndicates do, a gimmick that has run it's course, only benefitting newer players of which diminish with each passing day.
