The Blight is kinda fun.
However, there should be a decent chance for 925 gear to Drop 
How about it!
PS. Why is the Butcher missing out on all the Midwinter Blight Carnage! (Hint Hint)
The event is geared to the casual player. There be had several uniques drop between 850-900 including Flickerstep boots which are part of the Duriel loot table. Casual players that don’t have time for the boss farming loop can pick up decent rolled legendaries and cosmetics at the same time. It’s a win for this type of player.
Grinders got AoZ for their extra bonus, casuals got midwinter blight.
I like the event, but in the end if there is not good reward, will be time waste, im starting it today and will do all of it, lets see
