These changes will not make any difference. In comparison to Relics and Mythics, we can't make Empyreans in our own pace. We can't spam VW like Salvage, Einherjar or Dynamis because our voidstones are much more limited (Rhapsode in Mauve KI should give us a reduction in time between new Voidstones acquisitions, much like Rhapsode in Azure does with Salvage, Dynamis, Assaults etc). Also we are locked behind a proc system which made sense back in 2011 when VW was a popular alliance event and everyone wanted clears, quick merits, gear and cruor from it. But now it's a very outdated content and we do it low-man or solo because no one has any reason to do it anymore. There's no sense in keeping the proc system because it's a "fundamental specification of the content itself".

What I think SE should do:

1) If they don't want to banish the entire proc system altogether, at least untie Heavy Metal Plates/Pouches, Riftdross and Riftcinder drops from it, i. e., make their drop rates constant and the same as they are now with capped lights.

2) Like I said above, make Rhapsode in Mauve KI drop down new Voidstone acquisition to 1 hour.
