What if there were no loot restrictions in normal mode raids from release day?

Considering you can currently get a whole set now in maybe half that time, can't say that's an improvement. Stuff can't take too long to obtain in a game like this; shelf life is already pathetically short as it is.


For your proposed system to work the accessories would need to cost a lot less.

The problem is stuff can and in some cases does take far too long to get.

The reason for that is simply life span. Gear simply doesn't last long enough to warrant it taking a long time or lot of effort to get. This is a big reason people don't touch savage. The lifespan of The reward doesn't justify the extra time and effort that needs to be invested.

If gear is going to take a long time to get then it needs to last a lot longer otherwise it just isn't worthwhile.

You simply cannot make it take 13 weeks to get a set if it's only going to last a matter of days once done. This is one of the reasons people tire of the treadmill. No sooner do you. finish a set of tome gear before it's time to start replacing it or augmenting it. And as soon as you finish that a new tier of gear is released...
