This patch dropped the ball hard

[Dyvid]

Alexander gear is not obsolete your not going to be able to get full tome gear for a long while so the gear will still be relevant for a while still especially if you have more then 1 job and Alexander normal is so easy anyways so it shouldn't be better.

Not really if you base it on actually time played verse what you can actually get in a week. I would say 2.XX it would take 3 hours to cap 450, you know make that 4 hours stretching it. You'll need 3510 to get the 5 major (head, body, gloves, legs, waist) items or 20 actually hours of work. A:N raid is hard to quantify due to the looting system. You my get two lenses in 2 runs or it may take 20 runs using the same DF you farm tomes with. It's really depends on the looting.

Now if you want to break that down by weeks. It'll take 8 weeks for those 5 eso items and 6 weeks? for A:N. So nearly the same time frame. Plus tome cap normally goes away after next 3 month patch. Maybe people are forgetting A:N has a weekly cap too.
