Agree with all the above. IMO the best games are the ones that are easy to pick up and play, but difficult to master. Blizzard was at its best when they designed their games with this philosophy. For far too long Blizzard has missed the mark on that last part. They’ve made their games easier and easier to the point that there is no more sense of accomplishment. Having T1 drop all the gear you need while increasing drop chance for T2-T4 is as perfect at balancing that act as you can get. If you don’t want a challenge, stay on T1 and farm until you get everything you need to defeat all content in the game. For those that want a challenge, you can increase the Torment level and get higher chance of drops.
Seems more than fair to me.
