I do think it's a problem that LotA is almost impossible to get into these days. That gates ST and locks out fresh 50s from the easiest way to gear up.
After reading this I thought ok cool I could grab some gear from the market board for now until I have some better gear. I'm a pld so I need good gear if I'm going to be tanking right? Most are a downgrade but the stuff that would be ok costs around 250k per item. I have 100k lmao.
