The thing is, tempering and masterworking and stuff aren’t like, just crappy and broken. And the meta-progression system I’m talking with isnt something you’d have to grind to upgrade except maybe a few things for the upper tiers. They’re more things that you’d naturally upgrade over the course of the season by just playing the game like normal, and they’d exist so naturally that you’d just be like getting them as you go along and making things feel a bit better and more interesting. Bc the focus isn’t on the progression necessarily itself, but bc like I said then it enables us to focus on other things, like fun boss fights, pushing challenging content, pvp against other players, working toward stuff to earn cosmetics, etc.
