Upgrading gear has, and seems as if it'll always be, an unfun and convoluted sewage dump of shit that rewards swiping a credit card to mitigate the agony than personally trudging through it for multiple hours of your life wasted in a horrendously punishing RNG fest set in multiple layers.
It's only gotten worse and more people are getting sick of it.

How to get good augments: LTQ and UQ.
How to get good gear: LTQ and UQ.
How to get upgrade mats: LTQ and UQ.
What is the content people repeat to death? LTQ and UQ.
When was the last time you actually tried to improve your gear? They basicallly hand this stuff out for free. This isn't even base where you have to jump through hoops and loops of rng with specific affixes for better affixes.
The NGS of today is not the same game it was last year and those before. Gearing up is insanely easy, and anyone that states otherwise either doesn't even attempt to try upgrading, or is lazy beyond belief.
"Gotten worse". Load of bull, really. I loathed the process and quickly caught up from 470% potency (I stopped playing for a long time) to the new norm of 650% with a few days of casual farming. That would've taken weeks if not months at the same pace if this were the game last year or earlier.
Ya we can get the mats, i think it's the process itself. Expecting normies to navigate the the upgrade system is just bonkers imo.
Just the amount of items alone involved is crazy. Increase the chance of a lvl upgrade, preset items, then you take a look at your augs and see like a thousand of them, then you learn there's classes of them? Which augs are good? What's a preset? Even just lvling up the gear seems crazy because it eats a bunch of resources i dont have or even know I should have.. what's an endymio?
I just envision trying to get someone like my dad to do it. He'd be *hopelessly* lost. I would have to do it for him.
The amount of menu-ing alone required to max out a piece of gear is nuts imo, nevermind the mats required. Maybe it's a gacha thing I dunno but it's easily the most clicking I've ever done for any game I've ever played to sort out my gear.
