    More possibilities for gobcoat, gobtwine and gobdip

    Hi there,
    one week after 3.1, I noticed a change around me. Some of my friends stopped playing, some of my friends stopped raiding. The main reason: the Diadem and its flood of i210 items which can be potentially BiS (with RNG/time). It makes (almost) all the other content useless for gear progression.

    I think it would be good to propose to the players some alternative ways to get competitive gear without the Diadem. At the moment, if you refuse this, the only way to get i210 gear are:
    - doing Alex savage, gated by weekly lockout.
    - turn an i200 ESO part to i210 using a gobcoat/twine/dip. Gated by alex savage weekly lockout, Void Ark token weekly lockout. Possible to have an infinite number of gobcoat/twine if we farm the Hunt. But it's boring as hell...

    As it is now, Alex normal is almost dead, and Void Ark will follow soon (kinda useless to farm it, just do it once a week for the token is enough).

    In order to change this, I propose the following:

    - Alex normal right side (and belt) prototype -> regular upgrade with two gobcoats. i190 -> i210. Gain: allow people who are not raiding to get other i210 items than the ESO ones and the pinks from the Diadem. Make sure people are still doing Alex normal.

    - Void Ark belt upgrade with gobcoat. i200 -> i210. Gain: allow more optimization without farming stupidly the Diadem... Make sure people are doing Void Ark more than once a week.

    - Alex normal left side prototype -> regular upgrade with two gobtwines. i190 -> i210. Gain: allow people who are not raiding to get other i210 items than the ESO ones and the pinks from the Diadem. Make sure people are still doing Alex normal.

    - Void Ark other items upgrade with gobcoat. i200 -> i210. Gain: allow more optimization without farming stupidly the Diadem... Make sure people are doing Void Ark more than once a week.

    - Thordan Ex weapons upgrade with gobdip. i205 -> i210. Gain: keep raiders groups who already cleared A4S continuing upgrade through secondary stats.

    As you can see, these proposals are beneficial for all the kinds of players: casual, hardcore, raider, non-raider. It makes more choice for gears and makes people keep going on the "old" contents.
    What do you think? Good idea? Bad idea?
