Agreed with this entirely.
Please don’t add more strain to the power creep. Why do you all think the ST loot looked garbage. Cos they over powered the previous 2 raids. Adding an extra power level to MC is gonna break the late game.
I think tabard / mount achievements for doing hardmode is considerably better than “more powerful gear” that you’ll just throw in the bin when later phases come around. At least having tabards and mounts etc gives you a reason to go back if you struggle during the actual phase
