The games provided method of obtaining outdated content is improperly curved.
outdated gear
outdated items
outdated crafts

Gear: Ilv gear 55,60,70 and 80 the RNG chests is a time consuming method for obtaining. and in certain dungeons they share a chest with 20 crafting items
Items: Crafting mats that use to be bought with Phil and Myth are now drops in dungeons. and while the drop rate is nice. its just another time sink
Outdated crafts: all ilv60-90 gear requires more time and effort than the new ilv110 gear.

In a recent test i found that after leveling a new character it is EASIER to gear them out in crafted gear ilv 50 gear then farming Soldiery and Poetics to gear out in 100+ gear.
i save more time by just working on the current content provided and just forgetting about the old content.

the curve just feels wrong. shouldnt the weaker crafted gear be easier to make and why on earth do they take so much time to make?
