renown is a VERY bad idea

'renown' i dont care much - GGG does that with every content: tiers. with commonly accessible tier is worth nothing (value and usability)

what that means in practice, that you gonna care ONLY about 3-renown mercs farmed in T17 (again..) because ilvl80 merc gonna be worthless

farming them for special mods? the same story. you get your cool gloves with some special shit but it is ilvl73 bad base. instant vendor.

it might be different story with jewelry, esp if you can recombine these mods bumping ilvl a little, but if you get mercs every zone(?) - why bother earlier than T16 and once you can do T17, dont touch anything else

sure, GGG claims to have made T17 less lucrative but i honestly doubt it. as long as straigt multipliers exist and they drop higher ilvl bases/mercs - T16 are there only to drop T17s

and noone is going to 'farm gems' - there are just 12 of them (few look like duds, hello Heavy Strike), most people play 1-2 builds per league. the demand for them gonna be saturated on day 3

Never mind, looks like it was indeed not covered initially, but GGG has now made a new announcement I had missed :

Mercenaries of Trarthus - Renown

You do know that doing this is pointless and silly right? Obviously when I posted this thread....I read that post. And if you are commenting here, presumably you also read the post.

So why link it as if people don't know what's being talked about? And if that happens to be you, maybe just read it yourself?

It reads as being pretentious rather than helpful in any way....

No I didn't.

Between all the end of the week rush and it not showing up in-game for some reason I had completely missed it.

So I assume I might not have been the only one.
