I agree character armor needed some scale back to make the next gears meaningful. And while I sympathize with people who bought what was the best gear, only to have it suddenly not so, that is the nature of a derivative economy
tell it to homeowners that bought an SoCal home in 2007.
Pve is still fun, and that's the bottom line for me. The stat system is interestingly non-linear from what I saw, or maybe it always was and I just never did enough respecs to notice. Int & dex seem useful to my bear, and str over 200 doesn't seem to have any visible effect anyway.
One joke though: I downed a tanker's ale for a keeper assault & was dismayed when the visible effect was my armor increased from 98 to 99. Lol, maybe I saw something wrong, but I don't want to waste 1.5k to try again. It turned out ok though, the keeper seems to do much less damage now, even though it took a long time to kill him.
All in all, I'm on board for this trip.
