I’m normally not one to complain about small stuff and I realize the new difference in stats may be minuscule, but this really takes some of the charm of this game away.
I think it takes the right amount of effort to aquire a full set of exotics right now. It is not too hard and not too easy. I am currently working on getting more exotic sets for my main and second characters. Getting the same sets again as ascended will be really annoying.
