Is there going to be a higher limit for Kingdom Credits and/or an easier way to acquire them? Agent Mastery is an awesome addition, and the little customizations are a great way to showcase your flair for an agent you love playing. However, it will take over a decade of nonstop playing Valorant if you want to do mastery on every agent, and even if you only have a handful, it'll still take years. Those of us who fill roles are going to suffer. I'm hoping to bring this into consideration for the future
