New Root Abyss Equip Drop

I'd initially agree this is seemingly great for the mass underfunded players who were not able to get these items due to the ridiculous price tags, however, on the other end of the spectrum, what does this mean for the highly funded players, who were motivated to continue playing and improving their equips at the prospects of being able to fund themselves entirely with in game currency? I see a lot of these players, in particular, losing motivation to even bother with these bosses if there isn't a sizeable return for their efforts in getting to that level of funding in game. Also this influx of clean end game gear isn't going to close the gap between the highly funded and the unfunded the way people are immediately thinking it will. The extremely powerful are such because of the potentials, scrolling and enhancing done to their equips. Clean RA sets aren't going to be enough of a boost for previously unfunded players to defeat Empress and CRA, and with a lack of profit, the highly funded will lose motivation in bossing altogether.
