I don't get what "balanced " at this point means..
Gold loot farming in garden valley gates was like a game mode.
Taking it out (or nerf in this case)means taking out a game mode which puts a huge majority of players playing that game mode....gameless.

There's no elemt of balance here because as many people have already speculated the inevitable truth "the rich get richer while poor, poorer"
Rich here guys trust me is beyond ultra rich 2 sets of 76 red weapon swappers with gold loot sets too...sheesh
