And why should someone be forced into Savage for a ring anymore than people being forced into Eureka for their Relic weapon?

The only "issue" is in your mind. And if a ring bothers you that much I don't know why having other pieces of gear with high ilvl but the wrong stats doesn't bother you nearly as much.

I couldn't tell you why it bothers me. Just does. Just one of those things like when you meet someone and instantly dislike them. Call it OCD or w/e you want.

It probably is. But it would also be a nice QoL change for people that only get tome gear.

You don't have to be in tip-top shape to do savage either. You only need to be at the ilv requirement to go in there, so what exactly is your point? Whatever reasoning you can place behind wanting the higher ilv for savage can be applied to the rest of the content in the game as well. If all comes down to having an easier time getting a clear; well why on earth wouldn't you want that in all the other content as well? That's not to mention wanting the BiS gear so we are 'sharpened' in a sense for the upcoming expansion.

A lot of us have acknowledged that the problem is in our heads. You're not exactly enlightening anyone, especially those with the issue. We know that those 10 ilvs hardly even make a difference. Whether it's an ocd thing or whatever, it's just bothersome. Think of it like a stain that no one notices but you, I guess.

So it wouldn't bother you if SE made the change and allowed people to buy two of the same tome ring, or if it did that's just something in your mind and it doesn't really matter if it bothers you or not.
