Yes most comments aren't providing directly to topic at hand, many of mine included (tho they were very much warranted).Bonus request if an admin wants to go above and beyond, delete every non related unhelpful post, make this 12 page topic go to 2 pages.
Honestly, most of the arguments from both sides r more or less on the table at this point I believe. VR should come out with a statement to make it clear all sides r heard and understood. It could be as simple as "we hear the plight of those unable to attain DG with the current format and we may take that into account as we move forward depending on how long it takes us to implement our current agenda." Or "we hear the plight of those unable to attain DG, however the armor was made to be extremely rare on purpose. We do not see a need for any change to be implemented". Then we can all go about our business.
