This system has been out for 4 days, and just about everyone here farmed for an hour and called it quits, so these are some pretty strong opinions that you have, based on very little evidence.
I'm going off of the numbers that you said were too high.
Additionally, I've already warned you guys in this very thread what happens when you cry wolf for six months straight about something. First you cried that there was too much RNG, now you want it back. Then you cried that the drop rates were too low, now you want them back. Now that you have decent drops and something you can actually see progress with, you want to go back to just gambling over and over, or cheesing the system with UD3, popo boxes, and quest stones.
It had to stop sometime and go to a fair system that gives me other options than just drop rate and success rate for modification, and I'm sorry you don't like that, but given that you guys have railed against literally every option you've been given, it's difficult to put stock in what you say. It's especially difficult because of how emotional you guys get about the upgrade system, which is still puzzling to me, but this is why I put discord on slow mode when it comes up. You guys can't seem to be objective about this system.
I wasn't around for any of that. All I'm doing is commenting on the current system.
Your assumption is that the only thing players will ever do in game is farm for upgrades, because that's all you do. That isn't the case. The system is designed to increment slowly, and let people play the way they want, and improve their gear over time. I must have said this hundreds of times, but I'll say it again: You guys need to get with the program that you will not always be able to have the best gear in the game in five minutes.
I'm assuming that farming is all players will do because that's what I do? You said you could farm for a couple weeks and be full +15. I commented on that, it was not based on my own experience. But good work completely ignoring everything that I said and shrugging it off as being "emotional" just because I'm not a yes man.
