In my opinion this is an extremely scummy thing to release, especially if we take into consideration the farming nerf not so long ago. This combined with he fact that mods are a direct increase in the players power unlike resources or affinity (out counting focus) just sets a pretty bad precedent for warframes future.
In addition while some of you might think that DE wouldn't influence the drop chance of certain mods in order to accommodate this new booster, in my opinion you're putting to much faith into DEs hands. Is it because DE is a bad company? No, its because like any other company they're primary goal is to make money and if they release a monetization option like a new booster, they'll want to make use of it.
Like with building times and items slots requiring you to spend plat to bypass their limitations, boosters in general follow the same rule, presenting a limitation that you can bypass by paying.
For those of you that think DE needs to make money so its not that big of a deal, I must sourly inform you that even then there is far better ways to make money in a game, like for example cosmetics (which DE has been pumping like crazy instead of actual content). Imaging this, what if this boosters instead of increasing the chances of dropping mods, instead it would influence the drop chance for items such as frame and weapon parts or even arcanes.
Boosters are a huge part of the monetization of a game and introducing a new one will always lead to radical changes in order to make that booster viable, otherwise why release it. This is why I'm completely against this feature being added. I'm not saying that DE is an evil company or EA 2.0, but that doesnt mean that they're absolved from questionable business practices. A consumer should not forgive a company for doing something questionable, since in the end of the day we're the one being f*cked over and not the company.
