I don't have a stance on this issue either way, but I'm genuinely curious how they could provide more options to get people to hit the cap. The fact that the items all have similar raid-specific perks to the VoG when there are other planned raids/content makes me question if they really thought through the gear progression in this game. Not to mention, assuming they maintain the lvl 30 cap, what would be the motivation of farming the new raid if you already have a full set from VoG, aside from the new weapons/shaders/challenge/fun etc? Could you really see yourself farming the 2nd raid's gear and 70+ more ascendant shards to fully upgrade it back to 30 so that you have perks that will help you...do the 2nd raid better specifically? This is assuming the 2nd raid gears' perks are specialized to that raid like the VoG gear. Also, assuming they have to balance the raid weapons around pvp (looks at 34% weaker vex mythoclast) are these new weapons really going to be that great in comparison to what is already out there?
