Unpopular opinion: too much gear would be worse than not enough gear, because if everyone is able to max all the good teams, pvp will become boring pretty fast. Mods will become even more important that it is now, and it’s pretty important.
There is a major difficulty in balancing gear income imo: arena rewards. When some players gain 27000 crystals per month while other gain 3000 at best via both arenas, balancing the gear income is quite a challenge. Good luck CG !
