Do we even need sacred/ancestral items?

So what’s the point of having ancestral items if EVERY item you get is ancestral? What’s the point of having sacred items if world tier 3 doesn’t exist? You can kill Elias at lvl 30 or even less.

Because of this classification we need to change our gear twice during the leveling process. Is the item level not enough? And on top of that all uniques you find on wt2 and wt3 are useless and you have to find the ancestral version of it again.

I think it would be good to rework this outdated system because ancestrals are no longer rare and exciting. They are just regular items.

It’s for fake depth. To answer your question, no they are not needed.
