There seems to be a lot honing in on the word “Carbanti” here and I don’t think it has anything to do with OP’s post outside his reference to Cyanide.
Of course, higher gear tiers require a lot more gear (save for certain easy-to-gear saints). Simultaneously, the number of characters we’re expected to have geared has increased to match the difficulty of new content.
There has been an effort to alleviate the gear crunch, but they’ve simply been outpaced.
If you disagree with OP, essentially the argument you’re making is that we aren’t expected to spend gear at a higher rate now than two years ago relative to gear availability.
(^Which is totally valid and possibly correct, though I personally lean towards OP’s opinion)
