As long as when the next item level cap hits, hunts don't become the easy road to reach that, I can live with just ignoring the system for now. I've personally put up with 2 sands worth of effort (got 2 logs so really just 1000 seals worth of time) and I have to say that it does simplify things. But the weathered gear is far from BiS compared to HA drops. So Let people get their easy ilvl110, I'll take pride knowing that my friends and I are able to down turns of coil because the collective teamwork of our group and seeing it all come together makes it fun for me.

(I 150% would agree if some sort of cap was put on notes)
