When there was some battles to come having gear that was way better than the original design makes the dungeons, trials and battles rather boring. I dont know what they were really thinking, It would be ok if you would get the ilvl gear of the dungeon you just did as reward so you dont have to grind it all over again, but handing you gear in advance to faceroll everything just made the more fun content rather sad to watch.

Overall the more I think about it, I cant find a single good thing behind this main quest planning for new comers. When I think about the changes you made to make it faster, you did it wrong. And the parts you should have paid more attention you did nothing.
