It’s going to be considered among the worst things they’ve ever done. Get ready for a cycle of everyone using the same stuff over and over again with each content drop like clockwork. Want even less incentive to grind and try out every new weapon? How about it’ll be less effective in less than 6 months, as will your armor. Terrible for build crafting diversity. Whoever came up with and greenlit this idea should be fired. It’s the most uninteresting and least compelling way to go about this. It doesn’t matter how much of a difference it makes. If it matters at all, players WILL “optimize the fun out of the game” when things are objectively better no matter by how little. If it doesn’t actually matter then why bother implementing it? Anyone should be able to see right through exactly what this REALLY is about. Again, worst idea they’ve ever had. This is the biggest sign I’ve ever seen from them that suggests that they have just given up at this point.
