All the models I've seen show that we will each lose at least on average 200 purple salvage a month from this bronzium change.
This is in my view to offset the gear "easing" they will introduce at some point soon. I expect this extra gear to equal no more than 200 purple salvage a month extra in whatever form that takes. Therefore it will look like they've eased the gear crunch,but all they will have done is just moved things around a bit and it will stay exactly the same, or knowing CG will be worse.
