Red Scrip's being increased?

Than what would be the point of even having crafted gear? The current design works. You have a choice of higher base stats for a grind or lower base stats and have to deal with the disaster of overmelding for the best gear.

There point would be the crafted gear is omni discipline . The scrips gear is one discipline only. So giving i200 augmented gear better stats than fully.melded iron works wouldn't be broken. I actually believe it should have better stats than fully melded iron works stuff.

My reasoning is that if you wanted to get the augmented stuff for all 8 crafts it'd take you 440 goblin cups which in turn would take you 49 weeks to do. lookingatt hat even if players began getting cups straight away they still would not have full i200 Omni crafters even now. and they wouldn't until about may 25th this year. which is less than a month before 4.0 is due to land

because it'd take so long to get full sets for all 8 disciplines, it's likely people would prioritise there specialists and use crafted iron works gear for the rest of there DoH.

The way it is now the reverse of your question is true. What a the point in grinding 8 sets of gear when you can get 1 that does it all better. Specially with the time it would take to get i200 everything for 8 crafts. by the time you could possibly have all 8 sets 4.0 is less than a month away.

hence the i200 stuff should be better..
