Yoshi-P on Character Growth

[MomomiMomi]

How will this incentive people to farm for said gear outside glamour if it accomplishes nothing?

It doesn't have to, because we already don't have incentive to do content. Yet people do it anyway.

Yes, we do.

You cap tomestones every week for better gear
You farm the extreme primal for a weapon upgrade
You farm Alexander normal to further upgrade your gear
You attempt Savage for BiS

A 24-man raid is subsequently added for those who struggled with Savage earlier and need higher ilvls to ease the process. If we had ilvl 270 gear to everything, albeit with negligible stat differences. Why do half that content? One of the primary complaints regarding Savage outside its difficulty is the lackluster rewards. Making near equivalent gear easily obtainable would only further diminish the investment.

None of this would change with the proposed system.

They would just be rendered pointless. I'll reiterate. Your proposal would put ilvl 270 in multiple pieces of content from the onset. What motivation do I now have to do The Creator normal beyond achievement farming? I can get ilvl 270 gear in faceroll dungeons.
