Another echo here.
You can get 208 gear very easily already.
They are saying this will cater to those who don't do ops? Uhh if they don't do ops they're already PVE'ing standard content and have enough crystals for 208s.
I think what they really mean is, this is for the free level 60 characters only. Because you don't get 800+ comms from KotFE.
Phrasing was very very poor acting like it was "instead of doing ops for armor do these".
