It's Epic Destinies for weapons.

TL:DR version -

You get a gem, level it up, can slot it with up to 7 bonuses.  You can then slot the gem on any level 21+ named weapon.

You level it up by sacrificing named items to it.  This is so anti-pug it hurts.  SSG really hates people who group.

Well it isn't really any better or worse than soloing. 

Your loot is your loot.  Sure, it is nice to get stuff passed to you from others, but really that wasn't even in the top 10 reasons why I group.

the higher the loot the higher the sentient xp. It is like 10 years ago running the lvl 20 endgame quests for scrolls, shards and seals over and over again. now you will run it for crappy high lvl namened items just to crunch them into a jewel. it is so 2010ish.

Somewhere deep in the night, a SSG dev walks away from his desk after a long day of coding clicking on a gui interface.  With a satisfied smile he muses to himself:  "There, finally we've provided a compelling reason for players to keep their characters at cap."
  

No, let me be Frank.

I did what I did intentionally and while my primary purpose was not to annoy the other Vaulties, I acknowledge that it was a side effect.


Smart people don't elicit "side effects."  They understand in advance the consequences of their actions.

I can see it now.

You: "sorry... level 28, bro."
Me: "But I'm going to wear that right now."
You: "Nah, gotta gets that sentient xp."

This.

Getting a t7 sentient weapon only requires ~214 ml28 items. Just like grinding pls, it'll look like a daunting task to casuals but anyone who takes this game even somewhat seriously will be able to do it fairly quickly.

maybe.

or maybe everyone just keeps their loot, trades it when they need a specific piece versus any piece to feed sxp. If anything it just gets more people running more stuff for more loot. People will horsetrade any specific lvl 28 named for any other one, ior a combo of two lower level named.

This actually just literally made named items a new and very robust currency system. Since sxp scales perfectly linearly, you'll be able to easily equivocate any named item for any other named item in total sxp in a trade.

I think this just made it easier for people to get the named loot they want.

Like I can trade someone any named combo of different items to add up to 280XP of some named lvl 28 thing I want. If it pops in a chest in a pug, just offer to pay them for it after the quest in named items as an equivalent.

Except, who wants to do farm runs with people who actually NEEDS gear? Ugh, time consuming. Then, there is all the gear people have sitting in storage and the AH. Also, there is the matter of whether or not crafted gear will actually be usable for xp feeding. If so, people who duped with have capped sentient weapons on day 1. Also, people who just have a lot of that crafting shit sitting around will be able to do so as well. I don't really care what SSG says if things will work or not, they still can't figure out ladders, so it is a "Let's see event".

The only actual tradeable thing in all this, is the filaments or whatever they were called. Although, some of the sets provide a meaningless bonus. What is with all of this MRR crap? You can cap MRR without even planning for it on most characters.

Anyways, some of the sets are lackluster as it is. Ohhhh wellll
