I still remember soloing Gogmagog V15 for RP on Monk without Amplifiers in between Segment runs. Back then, you had to kill the boss to even get decent RP, and iirc it was still like 392/kill@V15. I was able to cap R20 Coiste Bodhar in a couple of weeks. It was slow, but not necessarily a slog. Once RP cheese and Amplifiers were released, it became a breeze and then people could cap out pieces in a few hours. But that was when later vengs came out. With ranked 20 gear as the cap, you could RP pieces at a slow pace, assuming you could kill t3 bosses on v15. You didn't really need to though, since the base stats on the gear was great on it's own.
They understood the assignment with Limbus by not stepping all over Gaol gear completely on base stats, but locking all the good stats behind higher ranks. The opposite of what Gaol gear was (minus Nyame), the augments just being supplemental to the incredibly good base gear. Designed this way because Limbus technically is easy, open content for everyone, so the reward hunt has to be longer. Whereas Gaol is harder, So the reward hunt is not as grindy but getting access to the rewards is challenging. I mean, I get the thought behind it, and it makes sense as far as satisfying both groups of players (experienced vets and beginners) but it's just terrible to the point that it backfires. It's content, so people will do it (or not), but it's undesirable.
Then again, without Amplifiers, RPing Gaol gear would equally be hell. So I'm envisioning somewhere in November-January they implement a way to speed up this grind. Just based on historical timelines.

Honestly curious if this a unicorn or a common thing.
