Grimore is "cute" but has no in game impact. With progression tied to loot the reward for gameplay needs to be loot - in a way that makes sense, isn't 100% RNG and can be planed - IE do X strike to get gloves. That is why you play - for loot to progress. Without this circle the game gets old. Which is fine - but I sure won't be continuing to play much longer if the progression and loot system isn't improved.
