yeah but how much will that push you in the game? is that even anywhere close to being able to clear the hardest content the game has to offer. I understand there's no direct comparison because over there the difficulty scale up infinitely.
I havent played D3 in a long time, but I don't think having a full set and Paragon 500 and hitting the peak of your character power curve are the same thing. That's like 50% of your character potential vs 99% of it.
Think about it this way, with my current bank of currencies, I can deck out my entirely new character will a set of gear that is equivalent to their near perfect ancient set with ideal stats and fully upgraded gems and everything. And again, that is with a slowed and bugged trading system, merely 2 weeks into the league. Granted, Legion has been a very generous league in term of loot drop, but still. That is still extremely quick on any scale you can use.
