I do have to agree that I prefer the caps but only because I am not the kind of person to grind out back to back to get something, honestly after 2-3 runs of Alex I just roll on whatever I can win. However I feel it gives those who can't spend 10hours a day a chance to actually gear up and play with everyone. Knowing how some people are I would imagine the first week people having all max ilv gear for the current content for all classes.
