Its still the same gear. You are just crafting on to it the stats that blizzard took off of it. You will still reach the end game using the same meta. You will still have to be at max level to find anything worthwhile. And the entire game to the end game will still be boring. And when you are at end game, you will still wait for a loot pinata on a timer or grab crafting mats.
If you like playing a tuner, the season will be great. You find that additional 10 to armor and you can go to the next lvl to be weak again. I personally don’t like the system.
