I’d rather have fewer item drops that feel super good to get. I don’t get any satisfaction in vendoring fodder. It always feels super bad to get a non-upgraded drop from M+. If my BiS ring drops, I want to get my BiS ring, i dont want to worry about titanforging, i dont want to worry about sockets, i dont want to worry about tertiary stat, I just want that ring to be the ring, and when it drops, its good.
The chance of getting a dead weekly box is dramatically reduced, esp if you crossplay like I do. I know this season alone, in my first 5 weeks, I had 3 dead items. In SL, the chance of that being the case is dramatically reduced. The high tier items a player recieves are going to be the same quality, but there’s a much lower chance for them to be redundant or useless.
