How is the changes doing this if G12, kyro, and shards are not affected (I am not saying they should be) and if you lose GET1 income?
Loss of GET1 income can actually length the journey and get characters up to snuff when up to snuff is R5+, because now G12 items (for both left and right) that could have been obtained with GET1 will now have to be farmed from nodes
First - we don't know for sure that GET 1 is being removed. That's an assumption. Not an unreasonable one given the verbiage used, but still an assumption. Second, we haven't even seen the gear rewards for this TB yet. What if the gear rewards out-weigh what you could have bought with the 'missing' GET1? We don't know. On top of that we have no idea what the GET3 shipment offerings are going to be. Maybe they completely erase the need for GET1 - maybe you can ultimately buy more of that G12 gear with GET3 than you ever could with GET1.
I get that you're apparently sitting on piles and piles of carbs and stun guns and mk4 comm links because your only bottleneck is kyros. When I was gearing inquisitors my bottle neck was never kyros - it was stun guns and carbs and mk4 comm links. Getting up to G12 was the challenge - getting through G12 to G13 was a familiar and practiced inconvenience, but no where near as irritating as getting stuck behind two stun guns and a carbanti or comm link.
CG never promised to do anything about kyros. They said they were looking at it. If you honestly believe that these changes don't help people get to relics faster, I guess you're entitled to your opinion - I just don't believe the KNOWN facts support that position. You could be right about some things - but your claims are based on an assumption of things we don't know and haven't seen (and won't see until December).
