New Root Abyss Equip Drop

Yeah, it's good in the short run, because everyone gets cheaper equipment. But once the people who are going to actually cube them do all of that, it's just going to be equipment for lesser funded people to buy clean and never cube... And if you're against it being added to empress, why aren't you against it being added to CRA?

I didn't say I was against it happening to Empress, just that it wasn't necessary. The Empress gear market has been completely saturated for several, several months, and the change for her just means the gear has more or less become fodder for the rich. Besides, the entire Empress set is still somewhat expensive to obtain, if you look to get the Shoulder and Cape too, as those both are still somewhat highpriced.

The RA market on the other hand has been considerably high-priced since its release, prices varying depending on the class its for, but regularly going for 2-3b clean if not more, making it impossible for most people to obtain through any means, much less scroll and/or cube. As Niernen said, the people who can kill CRA bosses still control the market, and will continue to profit off of the gear, even if it's less of a profit now, because there will continue to be a market for it.
