The context we're talking about though is leveling up a support class to obtain mats for crafted gear, not being a crafter/gatherer already at the start of the patch. If you want to try and be able to craft said pieces, its still pretty sizable effort even with being capped. If you haven't bothered much with it, you probably are going to spend a lot of time and effort otherwise. It's not really an answer to not liking the current sigma normal drops, or any form of time or effort savings.

I'm not really asking though for it to be riiculusly easy. I think it would be much easier if they just cut the parts for legs and body in half, for example.
