Players should be able to grind to augment the new gear. As they earn Exemplar Points in Adoulin zones, stats on the gear increase to make them on par with Malignance Attire. Make it something reasonable like 2mil EP to cap each piece. As everyone here always says, we need more content. This will incentivize JP/EP parties and help players learn their jobs while enhancing their gear. After all, the experience points grind was the bread and butter of the 75 era, it shouldn't be any different today!
