It is more imbalanced that way imo. The sweaties would grind the gear out in a day while the more casuals would still take a couple of weeks to get the gear. When acquisition is so slow that the fastest may only get 2 pieces per week then the casual person isn’t as far behind for the beginning and middle time periods. That is why in Retail you have to put in as much time as possible as soon as possible so that you can get easy rating by overgearing those without the time.
