But I still think he handled it pretty well with what he had to work with. And Its not like you cant control Powercreep In PVE. Its just that the game itself needs more systems of doing damage other than straight hitting. Though for some reason I feel like the arguement is done. So im probably going to stop here.
I do agree that the example was bad due to the base nature of the games, but i do believe the concept of incomparables at its core would still do maple, or any PvE game good in terms of gear.
Say the Von Leon set and empress gear had more specialized unique effects. Instead of Empress/Lionheart completely wiping out Von leon in terms of base potential, What if Von Leon was mobility focused, with a buff that allowed slipstream to be used in midair,increased mage teleport distances and so on, whereas Empress would provide more drastic survival bonuses such as HP increases, or a 10% chance to survive an attack that would have killed you with 1 hp.
Now, that was a rushed example, and even i can clearly tell that most players would prefer Empress still because of the better bossing capabilities, but VL set would still have SOME reason to be used other than 'its cheaper than Empress to get'.
As far as the heroic example, i had assumed, as someone who doesn't play it, that it meant that old maps that were being ignored/unseen by most finally got some use by creating a buffed version of it. So that all the work into initially designing those places weren't a complete waste due to power creep in dungeon usefulness. (though it comes off as a bit lazy reading it to myself as opposed to just plain making new content)
