3rd and 4th Ascension Barya and Ultimatums should not be consumable

Hi,

As is written in the title, I think the Baryas and Ultimatums that you use for 3rd and 4th ascendancy should not be consumable.

They are already locked behind some very RNG drop chances, some people get plenty, some get almost none dropped.
The least I want to say about the difficulty is that the Sekhemas trial to me clearly caters mostly to more ranged characters and that should not be a thing at all. I don't want to complain any further about their difficulty as that is not the focus of this post and i don't mind the difficulty too much.
What makes it extremely jarring and unfun is the amount of time you have to wait for the next key drop or the amount of currency you have to be ready to spend on them.

I would be fine with their difficulty if the key items would not be consumable.
You already need to spend from half an hour to hours depending on the rng you get in the trials to try and complete one and get your next ascendancy points. Then god forbid you make a mistake or get bad rng, and you were unlucky enough to not get any more keys dropped in maps. Now you either have to hope you're going to get another key soon, or buy one on the market and oh boy the market is another story.

Scalpers purchase instantly all of the cheap lower level ascension keys and sell them back at 20-30 exalts, which is an insane price if you want to have a less painful time while trying to get your ascendancy points. I genuinely hope this is not an intended outcome.
The other option would be purchasing keys that are more in line with your level and hope you're going to get lucky once.

Either way, you're easily spending 1 to 30 exalts on a bunch of keys, maybe more. It's a crazy price for 2 ascendancy points, unless you're already knee deep in mid level maps and have a few divines and hopefully keys dropped. That too is still too big of a wait imo.
You could easily spend the same amount of currency on better gear and it would more than likely have the same effect(if not better) as those 2 ascendancy points. (ofc the value of the points is dependent on the build too, but my point still stands)

20-30 exalt ????? lol i sell them for 1 regal because it take too much space in my stash

also I can't understand why ultimatum resets on disconnect - why can't the game save my progression

Yeah... It's no joke

If you want take the easiest trial possible for 3rd ascendancy these are the prices right now.
You can find cheap ones once you search for around 70-ish, but anything below that increases in price steeply.
