Firstly, personally I thought this red crafting gear was gonna be more accessible towards new players introduced to the game but somehow you still need a lot of money (200k-600k) in other to access this gear.

Gathering red gear is , in my opinion is free. You only need the time. In 7 hours of farming collectables you already got 448 red scrips. (I already got enough for a full set just waiting to trade them in) So there goes one piece of gear. And I spent NOTHING. so I think gathering gear is great and works like esos and law gear where you just farm away without spending money at all.

crafting red gear is a joke. You will still need to spend a good chunk of money to get red scrips. I tried doing it yesterday and I ended up wasting nearly 600k just to craft 8 collectables out of the 21 I need.

There should be a quest where u craft red gear like ixali quest where there's good grade of difficulty but no money involve. Just sharing a thought
