This is one of those "You had to be there " moments B talks about creating. Enjoy it. :) I imagine that almost no one who's been playing for a while wants to chase power level every season. The game is designed for us to stop playing how we want and go back to 4 Gambit matches, 3 Strikes, 3NF, 4 of this PVP, 4 of that PVP, weekly moon mission, nightmare hunts, Altar of Sorrows, etc. for weeks. Oh and do that on all three characters every week for weeks. Do this all just to raise a number that didn't need to be raised. The number only gets raised to force that game loop. It isn't surprising at all that people want to skip all that. They will use forges to level up, then get back to playing the game how they want to play it. Yes, it is tough for people who want to do forges legit, but this will probably get patched quickly.
