Thoughts?
One day I want to do UCOB, because of the weapon glams from it. The content is still as difficult as it always has been. However if a year down the line SE told me "just do 50 expert dungeons and 50 extreme trials and you can have a recolor of it" I'd forget about doing UCOB completely and just go for the recolor because it's the easier option and is more or less the same item. Meanwhile those who struggled for days, weeks, whatever to clear UCOB would understandably be pretty pissed that even though I don't have the same weapons they got from it, I got something similar enough for less than a fraction of the effort required. By all means if they want to recycle rewards later on for the top 100, go ahead. But generally the way life works is you should have to earn something to be able to enjoy it. I want to enjoy owning an AMG GT, but I haven't worked hard enough yet to buy one. Admittedly this is dissimilar because unlike exclusive gear, I at least will for the foreseeable option have the option of buying the car, but you get the idea.
