Meh if that's the case that is a little too linear, people keep refering to myth gear as the "casual set" but it actually brings much more than that to the game. Having only one choice of gear per tier is bad, regardless the way you're gonna get it, you just can't min/max or even put a little thought on your stats if there's only one top tier set.
Also RNG can be pretty harsh, my static started clearing coil pretty early and yet I saw my first bard's loot only after 2.1 and as of today we've never seen mage's body, legs or head dropping... I wouldn't really say that's rewarding hardcore players over anyone.

At least I hope they're being more careful with itemization, try to equip a full aiming set now and watch your accuracy go nuts <.<'
