I agree with this solution but I feel like the fact that players want the power to get perfect overpowered gear quickly but then complain about there not being ‘interesting loot’ is just pointless.
Keep in mind that if everyone is running around with a masterwork best item that the game has to be adjusted for that as the floor expectation. I honestly don’t think this is healthy long-term for the game. In a limited random state it’s just power creep.
