I don't understand what the problem is with uncapped rewards at this point. We are halfway through SCOB. I think the fact that they are uncapped is making it very fair to people who havn't been able to compete in SCOB up until now. It's much like Myth vs Coil gear. Although myth was capped, it was also implemented in the game the same way soldiery was, and was a farmable currency at the start of BCOB, much like Soldiery. The only difference, is that soldiery iLVL does not match the comparison to myth/BCOB gear, since they were both i90. You were essentially able to become i90 without ever stepping foot in BCOB, albiet not BiS. Soldiery items are i100 upgradeable to i110. So them adding more ways to get Sands/Oils should not be a problem at this point.

The 3rd party app usage, yeah, it sucks.
