I solo’d a bountiful tier 10 that the game recommended at 623+ and my reward after using a coffer key was a 603 ilvl trinket already at 3/8. Why run these at all if the reward is that much less than what you’re already wearing?

So they could be harder for the people who wanted a challenge without making them “mandatory”.

bc all you have to do is a 8 to get that gear, and a 616 from vault 8 8’s will give u a option for 3 616 gear peaces from vault…Idk if ilvl is increasing from vault with S2 i hope so. hope they make it so doing 11s gives a ilvl higher

This season tiers 9-11 are only for achievements.
Next season, they will have the same drops/vault as t8 but will have increasing runed crest drops as you go up. Tier 11 will also drop up to 21 gilded crests per week and a delver bounty used on a t11 will give an additional 10 gilded.

This is a problem they’re sort of dealing with in Season 2 by rewarding players with higher level crests so they don’t feel forced into doing M+ or higher tier Raids.
it’s because Delves are not large-scale group content.
Gear is not weak, it’s just not as strong as the raiding gear. COmpared to the enemies you face in solo content, gear is strong in delves.
many people do their first delves on fresh characters that are sub 585 but I could have sworn recommended was like 608 or something for 10s
D8 is the max delve for gear. It was made clear from day 1 that D9 and above were strictly for the challenge.
ah thanks for pointing that out I mixed up t8 and 10s with what people were running been so long since I bothered to run them

Hero gear isn’t weak.
I think their reasoning is probably that they know they’ve been conditioning the player base for decades now to play content for the reward and not for the the content and they don’t want to offer a reward for content that they don’t want replacing the other content that they want people to play.
In other words they’ve conditioned most of us to seek power rewards over content and if delves were an easier pathway to gearing than another pillar, it would cannibalize it.
That’s my theory at least.
