It's rather amusing seeing some in the comments advocate for duty support because they can't be bothered to play for a few minutes longer with other people in an mmo when there's already been big complaints about the multiplayer aspect of this game being heavily diminished as it currently stands.

I agree completely with the op, either buff everything or fix the ilvl issues. Aside from story, the main aspect of this game is supposed to be gameplay. What's the point of it if it's over all too quickly? If you're a sprout experiencing this stuff for the first time, you wouldn't be getting very much out of it, if anything at all.
