They'll likely lose people's sub money for months at a time as we cap out on gear and unsub until the next content release, just like in WoD.
Doubtless when this change bites them in the ass they'll pull a quick 180 and re-add Titanforging or something very similar.
Plebs getting a single niece piece of gear per tier on average has never negatively impacted my gameplay, so being emotional about that is just bizarre. The only people who freak out about getting a base tier item are people who are just OCD about those things.
