Here is my own $0.02 on the matter. Make an epic level of every raid once house of wolves comes out. Make the raid drop the same quality of gear or higher than the house of wolves stuff. I say that because with house of wolves you will be up to 34. But what if there was a special mode in raids at 36? That let you get gear and weapons for that level? Sure progress would be slow as hell. But that's the point. It would give people something to work at. None of this cleared the new raid in a few hours nonsense that has been going on. I think this could open up a lot of opportunities for everyone with most of the changes going to creating the stronger versions of the items. And there's already an alternative set of gear made in the data of this game from what I've seen so I want to believe in it as already a future thing to expect.
