Please stop making the gobdib easy to get

[Lambdafish]

Thanks for the responses everyone. After reading through all of the comments I have slightly changed my stance.

The gobdip isn't much of an issue. IMO it should come in 3.4 but for the sake of a few weeks it doesn't matter so much. The real issue is the differentiation between the weapons. Having an i240 weapon is fine going into the next gear step, and helps people get into current content, I see that, but I feel that there needs to be much more differentiating the 3 weapons, as while the midan and relic weapons are better than the lore weapon stats wise, they do not feel any more special. Perhaps the feedback that should be taken is not to remove the gobdip from the .x8 patches, but rather make the other two weapons more special and rewarding to get, because as LalafellDown pointed out, why even bother trying in the first place? People will respond with things like...

Because it's pixels.

...but really reward systems aren't supposed to feel like this, they are supposed to feel like tangible rewards that are worth the effort that you put in. If that isn't the case then it is a failing on the devs behalf (and perhaps that is one of the reasons why alex clear rates are so low still)

The primary reason that this thread came about is because I am halfway through my i240 relic, and with the gobdip coming out, I feel like there is no point in working towards finishing my relic anymore, even though we still have 6-8 weeks of patch left, and another 7 weeks (maybe) after that before I would get anything higher than i240 (i.e minimum 13 weeks with my relic being relevant).
