the problem i see isn't so much the RNG as much as the sheer amount of rotting that goes on.

6 weeks to get an 80 set when it's like 8 weeks to get a 90 set seems silly.
having everything but chests be freely lootable and chests be a weekly quest reward would make more sense imo, still looking at 6 weeks minimum to be done with it and its not even endgame content
