There's two reasons why it bothers me. 1. They wasted time programming an entire system, material, loot table, based on ascending your old gear. Now not only are they trashing this system they shouldn't have bothered with in the first place, but they are pissing on all the gullible idiots who thought they could wear vanilla legendaries and use fatebringer for a decade; after just pandering to them! 2. They haven't shown me anything to leave me with the confidence that they'll program any good gear in the future. With the lazy design and shït perks like shank burn, not to mention the nerfs and removal of some of the best perks- the future is pretty fücking bleak imho. But what do I care, I finally got the bones of eao that have been eluding me. Now I have everything and can stop playing this game until I hear some good news.
