Moving gilded/mythic crests back to +9s is certainly a choice
It’s gonna kill outdoor only content if it doesn’t drop crests that can upgrade catalysable gear. In TWW outdoor content could take gear to the top of veteran. This system seems to be saying outdoor content doesn’t even get into the veteran level.
My question would just be, if the tracks still overlap. Like Do they still have Hero 5/6 being the same as Myth 1/6? And would the crest reduction be counted for that as well? If so, it would be that very weird dance between upgrading your Hero track items fully, to save some Myth crests, instead of directly going for the higher track gear.
Explorer level gear gone entirely? Always found it to be a bit pointless to be fair
Oh Jesus now there's freaking five levels of these? Does anyone else remember when you ran content and got justice/honor points and then spent that on the gear you wanted, in addition to the RNG drops from bosses? Why can't we just go back to that? Just make the bigger upgrades cost more points - problem solved. So ridiculous!
This is how they should have done it from the beginning.
