I imagine they are using the original numbers that had the back finishing in September. If not I hope somebody handles their money and any other things based with math.

For me changing the mindset of knowing an alt is gutted for sure without certain traits or at a certain level when you get the part of the trait you really want. Plenty of minors get significantly better with the rank 3 version over a rank 1 also. The big change will be for people that only have the rank 1 crucible and nothing else, I know one of my alts has 2 empty minors because I don't want to deal with grinding anything for them and they are too far down the list to do the cloak stuff to unlock the corruption ones you get from there. Now my main has rank 3 or 4 on every trait they can get except blood for honor and that is only because I didn't want to spend the pvp marks on it, next week I will buy rank 2 and 3 is already unlocked via the achievement for honor earned. I am waiting until next week to make sure you can go from 0 or 1 to 3 and you don't need any other ranks prior to getting a boa 3 unlock.
