I am not sure how to start so I will just jump in...

The problem I have with the Cryrostar only gear is socketing jewels. If we could swap out jewels more quickly (without plat payment), I would be all for area only gear.

Is it possible that you will reduce the swap out time of jewels? waiting 24 hours for one Noble jewel swap is ridic, would take me three days to jewel the new gear.

Or maybe all other areas will be insubstantial comparing to the cry zones? But then what about the next expansion...

No matter how i try to wrap my small mind around this, considering the cost and time of just one noble jewel and then trying to swap out for area only gear.. bleh.
