Well I am happy to see some people having similar opinions and I hope we can get a dev's answer on this issue.

@Weeble, yes I too would rather see capped events rewarded with HQ3 version of gears, but what I listed is just suggestions and I know people get hurt when I mention greater rewards for greater challenges, they think everyone should be handed stuff freely regardless of the challenge. And I mean challenge as in difficulty, not time put in.
