Why

Why do they have to bloat every single currency they createComment by Merteuil90well I think its better this way legendary should take a bit longer to get :PComment by aksunamuAcceptable change.Comment by MxDubAnd here i was thinking: "Nice, 100 currency a week, 100 currency to upgrade"Comment by NurutikiIt feels like theyre saying "wait a week for a better one", but i really dont get why they need to make numbers bigger every time.
I dont mind, but its always strangeComment by AlakeiThancanWuh - What?

Why ?

It was simple and effective, why did they have to do this?Comment by IianaSo if i understand this right, you will be 50 soul ash off making a 190 legendary after week 1, but when you complete week 2 you should be on 2400, meaning you can not only create the 190 version but also immediately ugprade it to the 210 version that same week?Comment by sykeroHalf the changes for this expansions beta are so mind boggling. Like what is the purpose of this. Honestly it feels like they have a set of dart boards they throw darts at to determine things. Its like first one hit soul ash second one hit increase and third was like 10x so they did that.Comment by TobiasAmaranthThis is presumably strictly to make it impossible to get a huge benefit for racing to perfection. Now it's not important, even for rank 3, to get 100% soul ash in the lead-in. That takes away the severe pressure for perfection in the early weeks. It does, however, also irk my OCD, lol.Comment by ExtrabuffSo if i understand this right, you will be 50 soul ash off making a 190 legendary after week 1, but when you complete week 2 you should be on 2400, meaning you can not only create the 190 version but also immediately ugprade it to the 210 version that same week?Comment by nimpouAcceptable change. They aren't called legendaries for nothing.Comment by ispear6What a weird and pointless change.Comment by TaintedoneLook at Blizzard changing something that didn't need to be changed again.Comment by pmkabooWuh - What?

Why ?

It was simple and effective, why did they have to do this?Comment by EveloDon't really see a purpose but whatever really. Won't really matter.Comment by slemaireI presume this is all to mitigate people having a jump start on obtaining legendaries.

End of the day, it is still possible to have a rank 2 legendary in the second week.

So not real big deal.

Will be interesting to see how many people are patient enough to wait for one of their better legendary recipes before creating one... At least I will have the patience to wait until the second week.

Clearing all levels of a wing will also be super hard given expected gear levels, not to mention time consuming, in the first week, too.Comment by taraxanything and everything to slow us down.. sighComment by Matrixwolfso i have to lvl all 500 toons and complete all 50 toons for 2 weeks to get the rank 2?Comment by DremallIts fine. That way your not compelled to run the full thing every week.Comment by Ibokoh joy taking longer to get 'regular' I mean legendary, I mean reg gear.
