Void Ark to drop Esoteric parts for upgrade why?

[Miscreant]

Because it's meant to catch up by 3.2, not by 3.4.

Doesn't exclude the Alex savage people from getting both, and finally getting their weapon upgrades even without clearing A4S.

Isn't it unfair on the players who have been wiping on A3S for the last two/three months to suddenly have their rewards devalued before they even get their first kill?

It's still far to soon to be giving it away for minimal effort, a large portion of the raiding community haven't even cleared A3S yet, which means that none of them have even seen a twine. If the Void Ark gives players a Twine for a weekly clear it means that it's rewards will be unbalanced with the current raid. I don't see anything wrong with the Void Ark giving these rewards as long as they are balanced with the current raids rewards. In the past these items haven't even been available until until the second half of the patch before the next raid is introduced, considering that these are being added half a patch sooner than usual, they shouldn't be so easily obtained. Currently it seems the period between patches is longer than it was in 2.0, going by that we still have 3-5 months before the next raid in 3.2.

As a note, do you guys really think that if a system like this would go un-nerfed for the whole duration of 3.1 if it was introduced? I imagine that in the later half of 3.1 SE would make it even easier to obtain these items by increasing the amount of tokens per week or reducing the quantity needed for each Coat/Twine.
