I feel conflicted reading that blue post.
On one hand it sucks because it just slows down gearing and that completion feeling you get when your character hits a certain power creep.
On the other hand, of their intent is to either slow you down this way or slow you down by putting hours of weekly chores in like 8.3 then I’d rather it be slow gearing and I spend more time doing the things I want to do for that gear.
I don’t know if what I said makes any sense.
