The coins are already ruining the weapons market, take a look at shops; its way too obvious. Armors are not even 20% relevant compared to weapons. A newbie will start with a damage dealer class 9 out of 10 times, as long as he does damage, he is super fine with basic +0 set.
We get it. You want to defend the new patch to not disapoint ppl so early, but you will come to regret it later when more RB-speedrunners like me show up with red Star Busters...
Even now, you think randoms touch 70+ RBs? You are out of your mind!
Instead of disqualifying this guy's thoughts its probably wiser to come up with a way out of this dark future.
