But there’s a major shift in assumption here. The end-game currently as we have it is balanced around t21-25 gear. Like a T6 and sealed. Uniques have a tradeoff that allows them to be powerful as you are most often sacrificing the other four affixes in that slot.
Legendary Potential is a solution to make weaker uniques still strong, I doubt the intended design behind them was to realize four affixes on the stronger uniques, that’s why the legendary level number for uniques exists.
This change would represent a shift in expected maximum power, which would basically take the assumption that low level uniques can be grinded to get 4LP. High level uniques would most likely be traded to acquire those 4 LP uniques and only used at the 1Lp and 0LP levels save for those that plan to grind out gold for ages on end.
My argument is against this change as I love legendary potential as a solution for low level uniques and I don’t think grinding out a 1 LP on a unique is ever worth it on a unique that has a higher legendary level than like 50.
My personal opinion is people are setting their goals too high for legendaries they’re acquiring and deterministic farming of legendary potential would not be healthy for the game nor is it necessary at this point.
