I dont understand why people are complaining. My alex normal gear wont become obsolete for months. Im saving for the eso weapon first. Thats three weeks iirc. So at least a month before I even start replacing my alex normal gear. The i170/180 gear is perfect for alts and I get it for free by working on my main.

Is it just the cap? What did people expect? 3.1 content is a ways off. Pacing the grind is a good thing for many reasons.
