Something else to keep in mind, there will be more gear sets. We're not done yet. Ranked sets might be the best that were earned from scenarios, but we still have Darkpromise and Tovl to introduce with the ROR twist that would be comparable. That might be a BIS ring today, but it's not planned to be forever.
Do not remove the access to get a gear and left them on on others imo, it make injustice feeling. Not healthy and not good.
I'm just talking, not making a decision.
My personal feelings regarding that feeling of injustice? You didn't do anything to earn it. Sometimes the world moves on before you get a chance, sometimes you show up too late. That's life. If you want ranked gear the best option would be to support ranked as a game mode and make noise about getting it tweaked and restarted. Complaining the ring costs too much or might disappear before you get a chance isn't reasonably actionable. It's supposed to be difficult to earn in the first place. If that difficulty no longer exists, then it would be much more unjust for the people that already earned it the hard way to have their accomplishments turned to piss so the non-ranked majority can just... have it. Reminds me very much of when they were selling sov gear on live for gold, gross.
Unjust or not it would be a terrible idea to remove the jewel imho, unless you replace it with something similar in power in terms of the flexebility the ring(3-4 set bonuses) offers or remove it for everyone that did not earn it through ranked(either way this would be a controversial decision) .
Why? Because at this point many characters already have it equipped and the advantage is significant enough compared to not having the possibility to get it at all( especially MDPS / vicious strikes/ 5 sov/4 ranked combo) .
That's a motivation killer for creating new toons/ new players joining knowing they can never achieve the power of older geared characters, creating disparity/ imbalance character-wise has never been good for any game and points to unhealthy elitism(even if that is not the intention). Personally if i was new and found out about such a thing i would think twice before joining.
Not saying it was an objectively good/bad desicion to make it available to everyone but now that it has been requires a certain care imho, players did not choose to make it available and should therefore not have to suffer the consequences of its removal, at this point in time that would be the real unjustice.
