Definitely agree that limited items are not the way to go. It's only making players more upset, and with collection building being a core mechanic of the game, it's really ruining the balance of everything, especially for future players. The economy will sort itself out, just try looking at other online game economies. The players eventually balance everything out themselves in time. It's unfortunate that the DV team's efforts sort of failed in solving these economical issues and player satisfaction, but I definitely think the team's focus should go into more important things, like story writing or QoL fixes.

I do think that progress in other areas have certainly been made, and I look forward to seeing what comes next!
I just hope the DV team hears us players, because we really want this game to succeed! Although it may seem negative at first, our suggestions are incredibly important to keeping the lifeblood of DV (player enjoyment and player count) pumping.
