my desire to try to get just the exact piece i want from Void Ark is now almost 0.

back in the CT days, i would do a dozen runs a week or more to get a single piece. now 3 runs of VA is too many, i'll roll on almost anything i can equip on the 2nd trip.

same thing with Hunts, used to be able to get thousands of seals every week. doesn't matter that much anymore.

the vertical progression just makes it pointless to work that hard for stuff that just won't last very long.
