Yes, new and shiny may require more stuff, and yes it may require the new high end stuff. That is part of chasing end game stuff. Addressing the gear crunch is not likely to be directly related to that, it is more likely to address the gear levels leaving relics as the "new system" for end game stuff.

As I experience it and most players around me does, this is already the case for 7.5m+ players. We have next to none relics income while relic oriented needs increase, so they are becoming the primary clutch while older sinks evaporate faster than one can gather relics.

I kind of agree, but still seeing stun guns as an issue at this point just doesnt feel right. If this was a progressive system, or felt more RPG like, as we have had it called, players at that point would not be really worried about gear level pieces and we would be rewarded with pieces used for lower relic levels or gear in quantities to be used there.

That is how I feel, and obviously there are many ways to do this and keep the things they want in place and a pace that works for them. As they said they will keep chipping away at this and work it into the system they envision it to be in the future.
