At some point.....probably several months into the expansion everyone and their momma will have a mythic set either due to plat use/plat farmers flooding the market which drops prices and makes it readily available to everyone to buy at a reasonable gold price. This will recreate the awful situation back when mythic armors/helms were allowed to be upgraded causing everyone to have these mythic items and killing the farming/gameplay aspect of AL. Eventually everyone will have there upgraded maxed out jewels.....bam there goes jewel farming and making any decent gold from it. Now what......yup you guessed it.....farming locked crates for moderate to minimal profit. Even the new event gear will be worthless....why? because STG had made a silly promise long ago that mythic items will remain the best for duration of the season so new event legendary gear will still be subpar compared to mythic items obtained at beginning of the season.
Inevitably, the economy will hence revert back to what is now.....locked farming....then eventually nothing is worth farming anymore and game dies. People fail to see the long term implications of making mythic and arcane gear so readily available. What this does is make this game stagnant and we are back to square one. I'm guessing this is STGs last expansion and they aren't all that interested in the further longevity of this game after this money squeezing expansion.
The best solution to this if STG cares at all about the longevity of this game is to let go of the notion that mythics or even arcane will be the best all season. This allows for progression of newly added mythics/legendary gear/arcane items to continue to increase in stats and become sought after through out this assuredly long long long season (maybe 2 years or last expansion ever). I mean gosh, I'm even ok with them making every 4 to 5 months clock in as a new season....even if there is no new level cap or new maps. Then they can release new items in the game through out elite maps, events, token vendors and crates. This will keep the AL gameplay fluid and players interested.
