[quote]On the other people will max out gear quite quickly, leading to boredom[/quote] I greatly appreciate the intent of your post, but I disagree with the above conclusion. Removing cores won’t change how quickly or how often we get increasingly higher gear. It will increase how easily we can power up the gear we choose to, which in turn frees us up to try new gear and combinations. That doesn’t lead to boredom. In fact, IMHO, it is the opposite. Otherwise, thanks for your post! You obviously put a lot of thought into it.
