Pretty good chance that everyone in here saying “no” also does both.
That’s kind of the point. They’d like to continue to do both. Whether you’ll accept it or not this would mean extra time spent gearing, extra flightstones required for upgrading secondary sets, it would disincentivize running alts.
I do both and see no reason why M+ rewards should remain in their current form. M+ is its own endgame mode and its rewards should have logical progression on their own…right now they completely do not. M+ should not exist solely as an easy way to spam crests, but that’s what it currently is. Difficulty should match rewards in all content types in this game, and M+ is very far off this mark. This change at least begins to bring it in line with other types of content.
Yeah I mean the crest change, which many seem very upset about since they won’t be able to spam 2s for wyrm crests any more. Sorry, didn’t realize that other dude meant making M+ gear completely separate like PvP gear or something. That would be pretty silly.
